Getting a little tired of receiving a single mote of light for coming in 20+ seconds ahead of every other racer, while Scrubby McCrashalot gets a 320 helmet for coming 6th.
Legendary gear should only drop for the top 3 racers, and first place should have an increased chance of receiving higher light gear.

I think the bottom spots should keep getting as is. But weight the light for the top 3 so that they drop a little higher. I think too much competition would ruin it. Imagine how bad the pushing and shoving and dirty play would get if everyone was fighting for the loot? People having friends just to -blam!- with other drivers and what not. But if it's just weighted. Then there's that element of I want to do well. But not that desperation element of I will murder you for your shoes. Because we all would :) But if racing stuck around then once a month for a week a more hardcore version came around Id say make it top 3 like you say. That would be fun to choose to go play hard. But be able to casually race. (Obviously not casually race for 320, but decent)
