If you failed to get tickets for the Olympics, why not take part? The London 2012 video game from Sega is due for release on 26 June, for XBox, Playstation 3 and PC.

It's not the first official game to race around the Stratford track. Last year, Sega released Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Sonic won all of the sprint events, and Mario was disqualified for use of illegal mushrooms.
