Thanks for the advice. I did stop playing for some months (was playing other games, not sure why now lol) and only just started playing Wipeout HD again just in the last couple weeks, but I've been playing on average 1-2 hours a day doing nothing but Zone. I'd forgotten how sweet HD (and Zone) is.

The best I've been able to do on Syncopia is Zone 58. Might be a bit of a step back at this point for me to try for Zeus on another track I'd have to learn all over again. At the low zones it is easier, but once I get into the 40s and beyond it's a pain for me (keep missing the track on that stairstep-like section towards the end lol). I did get the Airbraker trophy on Syncopia though.

The only track I've managed to break 70 on is Anulpha Pass, and I've gotten to 72 twice, so I'm getting close. I think I've logged over 7000 laps on Anulpha (have to check my stats to be sure), which is about 10 times (at least) the number of laps I've run on any other track, so guess I'll just have to stick with it. I think it'll just be a matter of time before I figure out how to get to 75.
