Ok, just played some more and could easily win the first cup on normal.

Some mixed feelings about the racing. Doesn't seem to have that much in common with FZX. I tried railsliding and some DT-diving ( or X-diving in this case ) but that didn't work. Very annyoing that you're not able to see how fast you are going so I'm not sure of it adds to your speed or not.
Also feels very awkward that you can't jump anymore with the shoulder-buttons. A hard habbit to break from after all those years on X. Then again, the jumping doesn't seem to help that much anymore with the cornering.

So far it seems the game relies heavily on the slide turn by holding down both shoulder-buttons as the main technique to make the diference .. it sure propells you around the corner at much faster speed when boosting at the same time.

Still very early days of course.. and I'm sure there's loads of stuff to discover. But it would appear that FZX vets certainly don't have any advantage to newcomers.

Story mode and the rest I'll find out about later

That's what I like to hear. I never owned F-Zero X so atleast that won't be a disadvantage for when the F-Zero GX competition starts up.

my first impressions reading the booklet:

there is a wide screen mode! (at last one good reason to go back to France, yeah!)
in the intro they say that the game takes place one year after the f-zero X tournament, won by captain falcon (I don't care, maybe some people do)
also:
you lose some speed when you slide-turn so it's better to use it with a max-speed setting (or fast car, don't remember ). Conversely when you drift you gain speed so it's better to have a max-accel setting.
as drift turn in mv was a "secret technique", it's quite surprising to see it written here.
nice picture comparing normal turn, slide turn, and drift turn.
mc block used for:
game data 4 (option, achievements....)
garage data 18
ghost data 3 each
replay data (3-13) each
emblem data 3
And finally the special licence card (featuring falcon and rainbow) allows you to get a special car on AX, then you can "download" its parts to GX.

my first impressions playing the game:

faaaaaast.
I've cleared the first 2 cups (ruby and sapphire) with pico then falcon and I'm having some trouble with goroh for the third cup. in standard. I just can't stay on the track
when you clear a cup you can see an interview of your pilot on "f-zero tv" in english, and you can choose one question among 3.
I bought some cars and some parts with the ticket I won.

let's check gamefaqs.

Man, I wish I had the game already. I will not submit any time (as I can't see them on my poor PAL cube), but at least I will train hard until the PAL game is released (seems so far though).

I'll check on gamefaqs if we can find something helpful.

Hmm I thought there is no limit and you can get more than 4000 km/h so far. Maybe you can reach 10.000 km/h with some crazy-nut strategie !?

I don't think they'll ever make an F-Zero where you can go up to 17,987,548 km/h. Heh heh.
