Thanks for the information, G'Kyl

So-- based on your and Egg's responses, am I correct that there are Zone ship but that they are simply a cosmetically-modified version of each of the different team's normal ships? And that they drive similarly or identical to the primary ship for each team?

I'm a bit disappointed to hear the Speed Lap mode lasts for only seven laps but am hopeful it's an approach that, when experienced, will feel natural and work well... guess we'll find out soon!
