Are there lesser prizes in the races?

In POE1 race leagues there were tons of prizes to be won, there was like a scale of prize tiers depending on how well you did you won all the prizes at that tier and below.

I LOVE the fact races are back for PoE2 but if there is only a single prize per class, that is sort of disheartening right off the bat because 99.99% of people stand no chance from the get go. I'll participate for fun but it would be way more fun if I felt like there were a real carrot to chase.

Hopefully future races somewhat follow the PoE1 reward structure where small, minor prizes can be won by larger groups.

there is a $2500 laptop at the end of the last race, you just have to compete in that one and win 1st place tho

GGG made an event for the 1%, brilliant.
