    Need help remembering a game - Jet racing bikes in the future

    I remember a game, just can't remember the name. It was set in the future and it's similar to Wipeout.
    I know it was made for the PC, don't think it was for any other platform.

    You'd travel through the "racing tubes" and race against I think 4 or 5 others on similar bikes. Obstacles would be in the form of a bar across the tube or half the tube blocked off.

    There was "boost" sections that were fixed on the floor of one part of the tube which would give you a speed boost temporarily.

    Anyone know the name of the game? I can't find the CD

    Are you sure it was racing, when you mention tubes that are blocked and other bikes it makes me think of Forsaken by Acclaim

    Other than that you had F Zero on SNES (not PC though)

    For PC there is also :

    Powerdrome (not to be mistaken for original Amiga / ST game by EA)
    Voltage (More like F Zero)


    Looking around the net there is Red:Out which is very similar to Wipeout but on PC.

    Finally Wipeout was actually available for PC

    Thanks Ferral, but none of those.

    It was a high speed game, much faster and just a circuit to go around.

    <Edit>There was a Siberian circuit, amongst others</edit>

    I tried a couple of search terms on google.
    This kinda sounds like it?

    Ballistics (video game)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics_(video_game)

    Just the obstacles bit sounds a little wrong
