Still didn't' find anything on the web page about flight altitudes. It
might be
something they leave up to the teams to decide...either go up high and
coast
downhill at high speeds, or stay low and run the engine in short blips.

Something I saw indicated the course would be 3-D. They would have "gates"
with upper, lower, left and right boundaries. So, they would have to climb,
dive, left and right maneuvers. Only the vectors between the gates would be
left up to the pilots, as well as the use of power.

The racers wouldn't be aiming for the same gate. The computer would have
gates for each racer, perhaps laid out side-by-side (with spacing for
safety), so the planes would appear to be racing but in reality flying
parallel courses.

I think that was on a TV spot or perhaps an animated internet movie clip.
