Ignite Game Technologies is a Silicon Valley-based online gaming company founded in 2008 by skill-quantification experts Jonathan Haswell and James Synge to produce a new kind of racing game, Simraceway, launched in public beta in November 2011. The company counts four-time IndyCar Series winner Dario Franchitti among its physics development team and benefited greatly from the expertise of double Indy 500 winner Dan Wheldon before his death in 2011. It also has the distinction of being able to leverage a permanent real-world racing facility-the Simraceway Performance Driving Center, based at Infineon Raceway-for R&D. To date Ignite has raised $17.5 million.
