Sparrow Racing (Destiny)

I wonder if we're going to hear anything about the return of the Sparrow Racing League before the next expansion. Personally, I loved it, but I'm curious to know what the rest of you thought about it. If they do bring it back, I would like to see:

It was the only time I've ever been good at Destiny PvP. It needs to happen immediately as far as I'm concerned. :P

* More maps. Not a ton. Just one or two would suffice. I would love to see an SRL map set in the midst of Saturn's rings in the vacuum of space. (HINT HINT, BUNGIE.) Like, on one of the rocks in the ring system itself.

That sounds excellent. I'm picturing a track that loops all the way around the rock.

* Loot tweaks. Make it rewarding for players, but not necessary for the people who aren't interested in it.

I felt like the previous system was ok. It could drop one of two possible item types, up to max light. The fact that it was only 2 item types sort-of compensated for the relative ease and high frequency of the drops. Even so, it was pretty amazingly easy to get helmets and class items maxed. If SRL is a one-off like before I'd expect it to be similar, however if it becomes a more regular thing I'd expect high-light drops to be a bit less frequent.

* A limited event, like Iron Banner, to keep the excitement and novelty of the game mode. Maybe 1 week every month, or every other month.

I dunno about this. While I'd like to have it available more in theory, I wonder if there's enough variety in the gameplay to remain appealing.
