Nah, what we need is some power-ups (Destiny)

I agree all of your points detract from the racing aspect of SRL, but let's be honest here, Destiny isn't robust enough to handle serious racing. So I suggest it goes the completely opposite way into wackiness.

"But, Zack" I hear you ask "implementing power-ups will be a major pain in the ass!"

Not so fast, my non-Cody friend! I'm sure we can come up with some minor hacks to make it fun! Most of the hacks I came up with are pretty much the Supers we know and love (perhaps to hate) our very own Guardians already have! Let's use Mario Kart as template, shall we?

• Red/Green Shell: Lance Nova Bomb with the tracking perk/sped up Axion Bolt/sped up tracking Hammers
  
• Banana peel: Ward of Dawn with Saint-14 debuff
  
• Lightning Bolt: instant Landfall (one of the perks for Stormtrance) on every enemy
  
• Temporary Invincibility/Star Power: same as Banana Peel, but it stays on your Sparrow

Tricky bit would be assigning them a button and figuring out how to make them available without without screwing everything else. I'd go as far as creating a separate instance to current Super based on last power-up ran over, keep Super regen at zero and making an instant Super (like when you level up) when you run over power-ups.

What say you? What more can you come up with?
