Races: Unrealistic for Average gamers?

As a pretty casual player who has tried a few races this season, I must say there isn't much incentive to continue. I get out leveled by about 8-10 levels in a 1 hour race. The amount of effort it would take to determine how to close that gap and perform at that level is much too great for the rewards involved. Assuming I could even come close to the top with all that effort, I would still not be able to participate often enough to earn the better prizes.
