I, for one, have had serious fun with the SRL and want it to return better! So I wanted to create this so people can put their thoughts into this.
[spoiler]Be serious people, what would make this better? If you don't like the game mode for the sake of hating it, that's understandable, but if you have useful feedback, please share it otherwise it will not get better.[/spoiler]
1. More maps: This is pretty apparent, two maps is not going to cut it. Several ideas you can USE BUNGIE (please?)- Street race within the Last City or around the Walls, Touring the facility of Clovis Bray, Ascendent realm anyone?, Moon racing within craters, A straight dive into Crota's realm and a race to his tomb to be brought back up by Hive Arcana, A Light Bridge amongst the asteroid and scrap fields of the Reef (Rainbow Reef?). ADD MORE MAPS that are rotated evenly so nothing is favored over the other like in Crucible...
2. More gamemodes: Maybe have a tag team style race? Two-four teams of two racers going for the win. How about a deathmatch style race complete with guns, abilities and the like? Maybe a no contact race? Infinite max boost with lots of turns? A run from Braxx race like the mission in Lost Light? The posibilities are endless here.
3. Fix the GLITCHES: Those fans on the Mars track can go screw themselves...., These glitches that make the game inconsistent such as being bumped and shot across the map only to have your efforts to pit maneuver someone fail miserably, randomly spinning out, losing control for no reason, and the strange gravity need to be fixed and fixed quickly.
4. More Sparrows/Customizable ones maybe?: The sleek look and sounds of the newest sparrows are amazing but there needs to be more of them or give us the option to make our own for cosmetic looks by letting us buy sparrow frames and parts from Holliday for Glimmer or other things so we don't have so much d*** armor parts...
5. Loot drops expanded: Grinding races has been a blast and you actually get decent loot (legendary easily in the 290+ range for those that can't do the Raids and Trials) but now that all my marks and helmets are almost 300 light on all three of my characters it would be nice to find the other pieces of gear with that light level
6. Tournament races: Similar to Iron Banner (will come around once a month for a week before or after Banner) but will grant bonus stuff to the WINNER, Second and Runner up with those in last getting little so there is more incentive to win, no more RNG based loot make it Skilled based here.
7. Beginning cutscene for races: As much as I LOVE this, it only features three players and they don't rotate often enough so everyone gets as chance at the spotlight. Make it to where it premieres everyone briefly before focusing on others more carefully. Also have it rotate to other cutscenes so there is more variety.
8. NO MORE RANDOM DROPS FROM MICRO-TRANSACTION PACKAGES EVER: This should be higher on the list but it's more of the back roots of the event and pertains to Eververse in general. If I'm going to pour $5 $10 or more bucks into getting the Sparrow or other cosmetic that I want, then there is something messed up with this cash grab/milking system. I should be allowed to pick what I want the FIRST time instead of praying to the RNG gods to give me what I want. Also don't make this a pay to win system otherwise things will go to s***
9. A SRL Ghost: Imagine Nolanbot with racing goggles over his core and a scarf that rests on the bottom part of his shell and leaves a trail of light like the marks do? That would be worth it, just a thought Bungie (please add this!)
Alright there's my list, what do you got? Let's make this game better so we can all have a better time and have FUN like the game is supposed to provide. Post your ideas in the comments below and if anyone has a connection to Bungie, send them this way please.

I would love more consistency with the gates. I have missed a gate entirely and received a speed boost and had over 3/4 or my sparrow in a gate and have not received a boost. Very annoying. I also wish i could understand the physics better. I consistently go flying when people run into me and i will lose races because they push me in a corner or push me away from the gate but i cannot seem to push other peoples sparrows out of the way. I will slam into them to try and get into a gate but they wont budge and then they take off after getting the boost. Roles reversed many times someone has hit me to get in a gate and i am pushed out of the way like i weigh nothing. Also very annoying. Hate to sound very negative because i think sparrow racing is crazy fun. It is the change of pace in destiny i needed. I dont need a lfg site or any friends online to just pick it up and go. Cant wait to see more tracks and possible modes. I would love to see a mode where we collected pickups and could shoot at each other. Add me on psn if you want to race some sparrows. ZombieSeaMonkey
