Played with Kappeskopp yesterday.
The guy is faster than me (3 to 5 seconds in general).
I just have been very lucky on the first phantom race, Metropia White. He had the pirhana and he is faster than me, but each time I had a weapon to get the first place. At the end, he fires me (don't remember the weapon) and I had rockets, so when he passes me, I fire him back and pass the line 0.1 second in advance (I have a screenshot of this one ^^).
Sorry, dude, you deserved to win ... but I was happy
