"Anecdotal"
Pared down to the bone, the anti-gravity world combines clean lines, designer typography and circuits bathed in cold light. Supersonic speed turns every bend into a hypnotic graphic streak. This minimalist elegance, inherited from a long tradition, remains strikingly modern.
A pure product of club culture, the music rolls out techno, electro and big beat to electrify anti-gravity races of insane speed. Each circuit pulses to the rhythm of nervy beats that spike the adrenaline. This futuristic sonic identity, polished and razor-sharp, is an integral part of the series' DNA.

"From the very first seconds"
Hurling an anti-gravity craft at dizzying speeds across suspended tracks, dropping weapons and negotiating turns to the millimetre: the sense of futuristic gliding hits its high. The electro soundtrack and the visual minimalism multiply the rush of every lap. Demanding, elegant and exhilarating, a peak of futuristic racing built for the thrill.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.
