Balance multiplayer race rewards (hotfix included)

[Orbacle]

So, Ive come back and checked the news on the forums. Does this: https://www.nfssa.com/thread-11378.html mean that the devs have actually taken up my idea and implemented it into the game? Seems so to me, and if it is true, it makes me very happy.

Id be very grateful for an explanation what this change actually did. Whether it narrowed the gap between winners' and losers' rewards (like I requested) or not. Gonna install MTA soon to test it out myself anyway, but any info beforehand will be appreciated.

The base rewards have been buffed considerably for 4th place, lower buff for 3rd, even lower for 2nd and very small for 1st place, which makes it so that instead of 1st place getting 4x the reward of 4th place (as it was before), 1st place gets about 2.4x the reward of 4th place (obviously can be tested in-game), because if we went with the same 4:1 ratio, 1st place would be getting insane rewards with 4th place getting the same rewards as now. However, higher place also gets a much higher bodypoint chance, which now also depends on total race distance, race type and track "difficulty". And on top of that, you get small buffs for race mode (quick/custom) and race types (especially sprints and speedtraps), all of which make the reward difference between old rewards and new rewards on a track with same settings higher than base reward buff says. Which also should be fair because sprints used to give almost nothing, not even talking about finishing last in them.
