Firemint 3GS Real Racing Tech Demo
Touch Arcade —
Firemint's Real Racing [App Store] is the game to show people when you're showing off the graphical capabilities of your phone. The immersion experienced in the cockpit view is substantial, and the remarkably lifelike AI makes the game extremely fun to play.

iPhone 3G Vs iPhone 3GS - Real Racing
The iPhone User Guide —
Firemint have posted this on their blog. Firemint are the makers of Real Racing on the iPhone.
Real Racing has up to six cars on the track at any one time. Since the game uses a high fidelity physics engine, adding cars is a good test for pushing the hardware. We started our tech demo with 8 cars on the track, then 10, 12, 16 and 20, and the 3GS still didn’t break a sweat. We finally stopped when we got to 40 cars on the track at the same time, still with no perceptible drop in frame rate. We think the results are mind blowing.
