When an airbrake is applied, the change in direction it causes starts relatively small, but as it continues it significantly increases the change in direction. Just moving a craft left or right alone is very responsive, but by using an airbrake of the direction to turn in, players can perform very tight turns at near top speed, including those greater than 90 degrees.

Though the crafts are capable of very high straight line speeds, their steering often needs to be assisted by a secondary system to generate the extra turning force needed to navigate tight corners effectively. In order to help them achieve this end, weapons were provided. opponents, in order to finish in the highest position possible. Pilots would race each other or computer controlled A.I.
