Stunt Track Racer in the United States. It took some time before I got hooked by this game. It is true that the general appearance is not very appealing at first.

You are in command of a racing car on a ramp several tens of meters high. The races take place in one against one in a 3D environment rather dull but which transcribes very well the feeling of height and speed. Most of the time, the circuit includes one or more pits that can be very large and preceded by huge leaps. The climax of the race is therefore to negotiate these big jumps to maintain the highest speed possible without falling off the ramp or breaking the vehicle by landing too hard.
As long as you do not crash at every round, the excitement of piloting is extraordinary. I swear, immersion is so good that after a few minutes you'll lean when you turn and you will leave your chair when you jump.

There are eight tracks in total (the last ones are monstrous) and three modes: practice, league and two-player (via modem so I do not think it works with an emulator).

A classic to know at all cost!
