The only competition that RBR has for Gamer points is Dragon Arena. With how well I do, I get more points per hour from RBR than I do from Dragon Arena, and I don't have to worry about getting synced up with some good players or syncing against good players (as much). If the mini was gone, I would still play.
I probably wouldn't stress getting top times as much, but I would still play to get them, because the faster you are, the more distance you put between you and anyone else behind you, thus making you safer and getting you more points. Ending races faster also puts me in the next race sooner, allowing me to win even more points.

It is more fun engaging in battle than rage quitting/name calling if your "racing time" was ruined because someone used one of the multiple skills given to them by ANET to stop an opposing player.

The end goal of the arena is to cross the finish line before anyone else. It is a
race. A greater reward is given for pushing yourself to go faster than for picking up extra boxes and conserving Rams so that you can immediately KD anyone you see, because that's the point.
You can enjoy your knocking down of other racers, but if you come up against me, I'll have my fun of finishing first and making you one of the hundreds of racers I force out of the arena with no reward every event, because you don't understand the real point of the arena.
