Following the summer of cycling in the region, Yorkshire’s Great Race is an interactive game which is currently riding high in the top 50 racing games in the iPhone App Store charts.

Yorkshire’s Great Race is a multi-level game where participants can race through the streets of Leeds, Sheffield, York, Harrogate, Holmfirth, Buttertub, the Peak District and Langsett.
