I've just been reading Imre92's posts at Arena.

It's the first time I've read a full report, I had only just got snippets of what was happening between these two in PSN messages when trying to get them to race.

I had contacted Imre92 and he said he had been trying to get Bombel2000 to race of several occasions, but that he had told him he either needed more practice, been too tired or too stoned.

It's only when I sent Bombel2000 a ultimatum of race within 7 days or lose by default that they raced.

It appears each won their respective selections, Imre92's were all Phantom even if they weren't the Fury tracks he wanted to race on, so it's a moot point if he was disadvantaged.
And Bombel2000 won all his Flash speed selections.

It's why the final deciding race which should of been Rapier>Anulpha Forward was changed to Rapier>Sol 2 that is the question of rule breech.
I don't know, but if they both agreed then I see no problem.

From what I'm reading it seems that Imre92's stance is that he feels that the slower speeds should not be allowed in the Cup generally, and that a true test of a pilots skill should be measured at Phantom speed alone.
This especially in the 7th and deciding race, which he feels should be Phantom on either Sebenco,Chenghou or Ubermall.

So I'll leave the result as it is, as I see this more as Imre92's problem with the actual HD CUP format rather than a problem with an opponent.
