Prizes will include a wide variety of official race car components and authentic racing accessories of the drivers. Details of the contest will soon be announced at http://www.botme.com/bmwf1race .

"The BMW F1 engagement is a perfect fit for a game application for the iPhone and iPod touch. The outstanding capabilities of the Apple devices allow us to achieve an exciting level of uniqueness in the game. Players will be able to customize their individual races. Authenticity is a core feature of the game. All the game details, including our drivers and racing cars, are based on the real BMW Sauber F1 Team. All of these attributes, combined with the challenging racing tracks and adjustable weather conditions, will create a unique and thrilling virtual experience, which will be loved by all gamers," said Uwe Dreher, Head of BMW Motorsport Marketing.

"We are excited about this game. It is definitely one of the best racing games out there for the iPhone. Among other cool features such as the special donut driving option, we simulate bad weather condition driving and have even put in a simulation of the new KERS power enhancer for the BMW F1 car! We would once again like to thank BMW for their generous support and are pleased to have had the opportunity to work together with them on both the previous BMW Z4 Experience and now the BMW Sauber F1 Team Racing 09 project. We hope BMW Sauber fans will enjoy the supreme racing experience that this premium title brings," said Eberhard Schoneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
