Rewards and Race Info

Can we get some reward between 135 - 220 and in all other tiers above? Its a bit empty the more one races like the casuals are supposed to give up eventually and the pros that already get many points from races do half the season and have the 1k points.

Some love for casuals please. I preferred the 3 hour races as well over the 1 hour versions. More time to fuck up a little.

Can races get an in-chat message every 5 or 10 minutes describing how much time is left and what the race reward levels are? People spend more time asking and asnwering questions than racing.
