F-Zero Type Racing Game

I want to create a racing game but not from top down view.

More like F-zero and Out runner. Can someone point me in the right directions and does anyone have a tutorial showing how to do this with Hills, Curves and the illusion of 3D patterns?

This is pretty much exactly what you want to use if you want to emulate F-Zero (the first one, that is).

Mode 7 Effect

Working with it is kinda complicated and will involve some math.

Here's a page R0J0hound directed me to when I asked about Mode 7 stuff:
