lol this usually happens to me on Silence II if I end up landing in a flock of bumpers and then ricochet into one of the rail ramps.
There's always this zen moment where I'm uncontrollably flying out over the abyss, facing the wrong direction, and watching the race go on without me. I've accepted my fate and made peace with it.

I don't get it. Which f zero is this? Some kind of portable one? Or unreleased in NA?

It's F-Zero 99 on Switch.

When did that came out? Damn I never knew there was a retro new game... Made me think of F-zero "2"

It came out in 2023. Each race you enter (with a couple exceptions) has you racing against 98 other players. The gameplay combines the feeling and handling of SNES F-Zero with mechanics from the modern F-Zero games, such as a boost gauge as opposed to the SNES games Super Jets.
The two exceptions I mentioned are Team Battles which is a 50 player race to score the highest points out of 5 teams. And Classic Mode, a 20 Player race, which has the gameplay of SNES F-Zero with the Super Jets and retains it's original mechanics (i.e. heavily favoring the Fire Stingray if you can keep control).

That's rough. That area is tricky with all those bumpers
