Details I love with Wipeout

Every single time I begin the first race of the session, I hit the acceleration, burst off the starting grid, mentally blink and go "Whoa! This is fast!"
I enjoy it more as the speeds increase. Early races in each game in the collection feel downright plodding, trundling along inside wind-up cars instead of the screaming racers of later races.
Dual airbreaks. Last to the party. Do not care.
Even though I know it would make me sick in seconds, I can not stop fantasizing of trying a VR version,
