I don't know, but I haven't encountered the same problem since the beginning of the new MP system. In my experience, I still can get a decent number of rating when coming in first (5~10 or more), and lose about 1~5 points when coming in second. Also, from my observation, at least in mid-bracket, there're still few MP-tuned cars (Cobra, Camaro). I can only encounter one of such cars or two every several races. If this problem is universal, I should be facing way more tough opponents rather than random players driving crappy low B class cars.

Well, I think it's partly because of my relatively low ranking (~1400), but it souldn't be impacting the rating system THAT much. Every race in around 1400~1600 racing bracket should turn out to be the similar result of the screenshot below by Red88beard, instead of with someone winning very few points and others losing even more.

As long as this problem exists, the best to keep severe point loss at bay is to have a car being as fast as possible, as the MP races nowadays are virtually arm races. Gameloft really have to do something to fix and balance this rating system.
