Losing in Grand Prix is too Punishing

Losing in Grand Prix is too punishing than it should be and when I'm saying this, I'm talking about the lower ranks. Already struggling to even get past even Silver rank because the game takes away a big chunk of points when we lose.
I understand that ranking up should be difficult and challenging but the difficulty should be rising as you climb through higher ranks and not in the lowest ranks itself.
Due to how the point system works in lower ranks, this game mode is all the more demotivating to play knowing our points are going back and forth, back and forth losing more progress than making some.
Winning takes effort and you are more likely to lose than you win. It shouldn't be this punishing.

Update: I lost a few more games and lost like 400 GP. Went from Silver 1 to Silver 3. I'm having the best time right now.
The really high risk of losing points is making people not to play this mode.
It's still possible to get this mode more fair than it is now.
Just change it to an earn points system. E.g.
1. 100 p
2. 60 p
3. 40 p
4. 25 p
5. 20 p
6. 15 p
7. 10 p
8. 5 p
Dnf 0 p
And while climbing up the ranking it need more and more points to reach the next one.
This...I like this. This here is MASTERPIECE. This is exactly what I'm thinking here too. This is just that perfect and I can see why.
• The ranking system works like a form of a race which fits really good as we are in a racing game all the same!
• The active and the most skilled players reaches the top while the less skilled one stays behind and has to race with the players of their skill. The top players will be breaking new records of max GP scores on this one.
• Not only it increases the overall satisfaction of the users, it also ENCOURAGES the players to play more of the rank and participate in the competitive ladder which is norm of competitive plays. Players always plays in rank modes daily in competitive games... which however isn't the case for this one.
This change is an absolute perfection. I strongly suggest you make a separate post on this one as well so more people can see it. Improvement on Grand Prix mode is a major win if I do say so myself.
