my stats: lvl.55 / 2815 online events / 1339 won / 1476 lost (2nd-8th). i believe playing tournaments is better 4 fast rank-progress then playing just single-races, but im not sure. i don't play eliminator or ZB that much, so i can't say anything about rank-progress in those modi. btw. "sinus1" (good player) is playing wipEout almost 24/7.
