The VR is still in its infancy, but im sure that when there are enough at such high levels, it would be easier to match high scoring players against each other (and therefore be awarded a decent amount of points if you win)
Highest I have seen is 9600, and the others in the race were around 6000+ aside from me who had been having a bad run of luck and my score had dropped to 5600.... BUT even though I came in somewhere around 8 out of 12 I got some real decent points... more than the winner who had 9600 to start with
I think overall it helps things balance out right, but I think until there is a substantial amount of high scoring players or even low scoring player we wont really see the benefit.
