You do not have to win to get the good loot. I've had nice stuff drop no matter the placement. In fact, I've started to see more and more people not even racing and still getting stuff at the end of the race. Apparently people just leave the character in MM, don't bother racing and collect the rewards.
Just get to Rank 3 and you are guaranteed drops from 310 - 320.
AFK rewards kind of fly in the face of this Bungie statement.
"
We have implemented a temporary fix to remove an issue where players who were actively racing in SRL were being returned to Orbit for Inactivity.
"
From that, I presume they don't intend AFK players to win stuff.

This was not for AFK players. It was for players who were being sent to Orbit during the middle of the race. I had this happen once when I was doing well, I was not happy.

But it stands that inactivity is meant to initiate a return to orbit. That's what I was getting at, but in a round about way.
