"iRacing.com is giving racing fans and gamers everywhere in the world the
chance to drive a virtual grand prix car that truly duplicates the
performance of its real-world counterpart," Gardner said. "And through our
internet racing service they can compete with one another in races on our
schedule or organize races for themselves and their friends."

Gardner noted that the Williams-Toyota FW31 represented the latest step
in iRacing.com's global expansion, following the announcement last month of
four Japanese tracks and the recent addition of several major European venues
- Spa Francorchamps arrives soon. Gardner expects the grand prix car will
attract many new members to iRacing.com. "We've developed a special
half-price package that includes a three-month subscription, with all of our
basic content and grand prix racing series open to everyone, plus the
Williams-Toyota FW31 and two of the world's legendary grand prix circuits -
Silverstone and Zandvoort - for US$35.00."

"Using real life FW31 data and geometry, iRacing have created a
realistic, true-to-life sim with set-up options and handling similar to the
real car," said Dave Kirkman, Simulator Engineer, AT&T Williams. "Driving the
iRacing FW31, I can make exactly the same adjustments as I'd make driving the
Williams F1 simulator, from wheel functions like differential settings and
engine modes to brake bias. It's the closest I've come to driving a modern
accurate F1 sim on my PC to date, even the dash display behaves like the real
thing!"

"The car is fantastic," said former F1 driver and current IndyCar star
Justin Wilson after driving a test version of the Williams-Toyota FW31. "It's
just how I remembered driving an F1 car and more driver-friendly than I
expected. Whatever your experience, you can drive the car, though getting the
last bit is really hard. But that's the challenge."

But it's not just professional racing drivers who will enjoy
iRacing.com's Williams-Toyota FW31. Gamers and simracers of all skill levels
report that the car is a joy to drive.

"That's not surprising, it's what we expected," said Dave Kaemmer,
iRacing.com's CEO and CTO, a real-world racer and founder of the legendary
Papyrus Design Group. "This car is an absolute blast to drive. Simracers who
drive at their own limits will still experience the FW31's amazing
performance and be able to have a lot of fun racing with other drivers of
similar skill level."

Along with the launch of the Grand Prix Series, featuring the
Williams-Toyota FW31, iRacing.com organizes more than 25 other road-racing
and oval series - seven sanctioned by NASCAR - on over 60 tracks around the
world. In addition to NASCAR, partners include GRAND-AM, IndyCar,
International Speedway Corporation, Speedway Motorsports, Volkswagen, Ford
and GM. iRacing.com is open to gamers and fans of all skill levels from
top-level pros to complete beginners. To join in the fun, go to
