You probably don't realize that to become a cat 1, you have to beat other cat 1s and pros. There are very few cat 2 only races. They are almost all Pro/1/2.

That's why Waterrockets, as gifted as he is, is downgrading back to a 3. Although he can destroy your typical cat 3, he just can't compete with the Pros and 1s.
