Few things that would make races more fun

Feel the race

• Count down timer to the end of the race (not on chat, on top right or left corner for example)
• Your real time race rank, and race class rank (next to the timer)
• Self stats screen at the end of the race (relevant to the type of races, things like average monster kill/min, player kills on cutthroat, stuff like that)

any more idea?

I really like the idea of real time race rank because it gives you an idea of your progress and it can put pressure on you.

"

and race class rank (next to the timer)

this would be ok
