Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AM Racing at 5.0 against INDYCAR's 4.4. AM Racing also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). INDYCAR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
