Race Practice?

First of all I'd just like to say that I really enjoyed this race weekend!

For some additional context on my perspective I've played two race seasons prior.

I would really love the opportunity for races to be available to practice.

Obviously the more vanilla races you can just practice in standard, but for descent or endless ledge it would be great to be able to practice the race without any option to win prizes.

It just feels that every time I do a race, I'm doing it live, for either points or prizes.

The sense i've gotten from GGG is they think we'll get bored/burnt out of things like Descent if it were available to practice at all times. That because it's rare it stays fresh.

I guess I understand that position from GGG, but it could go the other way and help to sustain and develop a community that have slightly different interests.
