I think it’s a bad idea to give points for things that don’t matter in a race. Highest speed trap, fastest single lap, coolest livery, most spicy team radio, fan favorite overtake, dotd.

They’re in a race and they should get points for doing the race well. They shouldn’t “fix” the randomness of motorsports by letting unlucky but fast cars+drivers still get points for this or that.

I did like the extra… strategy that can be applied to the gaps between cars though. Instead of just driving to the end with nobody in front or behind, it added a dimension. But a kinda gamey one.
