Passing rank; I came a close second place overall, 33 points, with the leader at 35. Didn't get first on any one track though, the leader always seemed out of reach. So I placed consistently 2nd/3rd on every track and it averaged out to 2nd.
I'd actually given up on the game for a while cos Supersonic just seemed too hard for me, but then I tried it yesterday on a whim and managed to scrape by, so today I'm gonna give Xenon Cup a try and see how I go. I don't care about beating the game so much, I just want to unlock all the vehicles, haha.

I've found vehicles with better handling and moderat speed work best for me. Also, don't get flustered by your position. For one, the NPCs don't always perform the same from race to race and move up and down in position oftentimes. And second, you can catch up if you keep your cool and are on your toes with the strafing buttons. The game is highly challenging, but I seriously think it is much more fair than Fast Racing League which had some rather cheap design aspects that killed you for not being psychic :P
Personally, I've completed all the speeds and have Gold on all the Subsonic and Supersonic cups and one of the Hypersonic cups. I have the majority of Hero Mode courses cleared but there are a few I don't know if I'll ever get (seriously, that desert track in the third cup suck it).

Yeah, it's definitely more fair (and hence more fun) than League, that game was absolutely ruthless, if you didn't play nigh-perfectly you were done for.
And yeah, Sunahara Desert is a pain in the arse. My problem with it is that my main way of getting through it is to not drive so fast on the hard bits, but that means the enemy just zooms passed me. I only beat that cup on Subsonic by getting good places on the other three tracks so coming like 6th in the Desert was counterbalanced.
Then again, that same cup has two of my favourite tracks; Kenshu Jungle and Storm Coast.
