Yo... Car doods <throws down gauntlet while ducking>

Here's what Andy Mahood wrote in PC Gamer...

"A fantastic PC treatment Wingtip to Wingtip and 50 feet off the hard
deck, Xtreme Air Racing makes the Indy 500 look like a wussy
convention.  

XARs high fidelity flight models will knock the socks off the
aeronautical engineers in the crowd Impressive-looking terrain.  

An extremely convincing component-based damage model that will see
your aircraft break into multiple flaming chunks whenever it slams
into another plane or that oh-so-close hard deck.  

Damn fine news for flight- and racing-sims fans alike."

Somebody here posted a way's back that they didn't want to race unless
they could do "the ring" just grabbed this off of the xtreme site
(http://www.racesimcentral.net/)

In the "what's coming" section of the message board.

"Track Editor
The Xtreme Air Racing track editor will allow you to set up your own
tracks, try them out, and exchange your layouts with your friends. Set
up variations on Formula One tracks but do them in airplanes. Or try
some figure-of-eights, hill climbs, or Nascar ovals its up to you."

500 mph 50 feet off the deck.. are you up for it? <ducking and
running><g>

See ya on the pylons!
