ME7 I think that would just be too confusing. I think a better idea would be:
 * Podium overall - significant gold reward
 * A overall is top 1% - 150 (consistent with stages)
 * B overall is top 5% - 100 (no change)
 * C overall is top 10% - 50 (no change)

FM currently pay out 7.7 per entrant (300*0.001 + 100*0.049 + 50*0.05). The above model pays out 8.0 per entrant (150*0.01 + 100*0.04 + 50*0.05) plus whatever rewards are given to the top three (which would be inconsequential in the scheme of things). Your model pays out 8.6 per entrant (300*0.001 + 200*0.009 + 100*0.04 + 50*0.05).

There are an average of 100,000 entrants per week which equates to 770,000 per week. I'm sure someone can crunch the numbers to come up with an acceptable solution.
