Just drop the multiple openings (Destiny)

If it's that much fun, just run the race anyways!

In general, competitive things can be fun because you are racing for a goal or a "win".

Who actually cares about whether or not you get rewards for each successful "lap"? Not the people who got tons o' fun from running those laps, I'd wager. They might be slightly disappointed that they get less rewards, or that their speed doesn't matter as much, but the activity should still be fun if they really just liked the racing that much.

Sprinters don't race if no one is going to win. There has to be some kind of goal and if you get nothing real for the additional skill required then often people won't bother to get better. The additional openings are the "prizes" for your work and skill. It's why most PvP matches have a "winner".

And this is somewhat unique because each lap doesn't guarantee you anything. So yeah, people don't care much about the blue engrams and plan. mats.
