Bravo Air Race (known as Reciproheat 5000 in Japan and Air Race in Europe) is an arcade/action racing video game for PlayStation developed by Xing Entertainment and published by THQ.

In the opening intro of the game, it also featured several aircraft that are seen in the footage from the 1997 Reno Air Races such as the T-6 Texan and the T-28 Trojan which aren't appeared in the game.
Gameplay
Aircraft, despite of obvious differences in real life, are equally balanced; that is to say a player using a jet aircraft can lose to a propeller driven one, and vice versa.
There are a handful of maps; one of which is selected by the player after selecting their aircraft. Most of the maps feature racing through narrow ravines and canyons, diving under bridges and rock structures accompanied by sharp turns and climbing maneuvers. Airplanes can't roll, and the game will stop your climb at a certain altitude, forcing players to mainly stick to the course direction. The game featured a time run mode and a split screen multi-player mode. [2]
Sequel
A sequel to this game was made, which is known as "Air Race Championship" and was only released in Japan.
