The Open Wheel Race Car is an unlockable vehicle in The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Like all other player owned cars this vehicle may be accessed via phone booths at any time, on any level.

Description[]

The Open Wheel Race Car is a Formula-1 race car painted magenta and white with a black interior. It is adorned with Laramie decals on the sides of the chassis and spoiler, with smaller Duff decals spread across the rest of the car. The car bears a strong resemblance to the real life Dallara IR-02, that was used in the 2002 Indy Racing League. [1]

Tips[]

The Open Wheel Race Car's speed, acceleration, and handling are shifted into maximum overdrive, and its toughness is among the lowest of any vehicle in the game. This creates a trade-off of learning how to avoid crashes, because the handling is necessary to maintain high speeds. Upon taking damage, this car gets knocked around and will lose control. However, when mastered, it becomes the most efficient vehicle in the game.

Appearances[]

The only appearances the Open Wheel Race Car makes are after Level 7. The player must win all three races to unlock it, but otherwise is not seen anywhere else in the previous levels or Level 7. A miniature version of the Open Wheel Race Car can be seen in the main menu of the game, running on a little race track that represents the Bonus Game menu.

The vehicle appears in The Simpsons episode How I Spent my Strummer Vacaction as Lenny Kravitz's vehicle.
