wipE'out" is set in 2052 A.D. and Wipeout 2097/XL is set in 2097 (duh).

Am I correct in thinking Wipeout64 is set in 2098 (based on Stefan Geist's quote on manual page 7) and the new availability of the Piranha II?

I did not get the box with my N64 cart, since I bought it off of eBay, so I was wondering if 2098 is the "official" setting, or if there was more info somewhere on the box maybe?

I really like the track details explaining some background about how the tracks were constructed and why... wish the other games in the series had more of that.
