Bravo Air Race
About the Game
In this air racing game, players race planes in an attempt to be first at the finish line.

They also can choose whether they want to fly the planes with automatic or manual transmission.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Players can view the plane they're flying while racing or they can choose to view the race from inside their cockpit. Players can turn a guide option on or off, with the guide being on, it helps players stay on course and not fly out of bound by placing a trail to follow. Players also have to get to each course's checkpoints before a timer counts down to zero. If players make it to a checkpoint on time, their time is extended so they can get to the next one. During a race, players may see an S icon that when touched will give players' plane a temporary burst of speed.
