Aiming to fill, or possibly create a niche between car racing and air combat games, N-Gen Racing manages to pull off this feat more than admirably.
Selecting from a choice of real world aircraft, you have just three laps in which to prove that you're worthy of pole position.
This can only be achieved by flying the course at tree trimming altitudes, climbing occasionally to collect precious afterburner pickups. Missing checkpoints is also a serious business, as this is a "three strikes, you're out" affair.
