No matter what they do when point gain is based on others’ points it will not work well as you get a higher score. There are major sampling issues so it will never work unless they entice lots of people to play at the same time (which they do on occasion).

A hybrid model would be better in which they keep the current point system and then layer on (significant) extra points for the top 3 in a race. They should also do away with the stupid penalties and instead adjust the physics so that going off track is actually slower than on track. That would cure the cutting and not completely destroy your race if you make a mistake.
