Dismount in the race due to damage usually means you will not get time good enough for rewards anyhow: When that happens to me i reset the lap in timed challenge (you can reset at any time by using X in the corner on active race quest - that brings up reset window) Nice idea for Qol improvement OP but having in mind impact on gameplay vs time needed to implement, i think it will be left as it is.Beetle collection(s) are not too hard, people that get hooked on racing will solve it by obtaining permanent mount :)
