I used to log on for Chocobo Races everyday. They "were" so much fun for me. My FC always looked to me for info and help with chocobo racing. 2.55 has KILLED any desire I had to do chocobo racing. It feels like this increase in stamina loss while accelerating is a bit over-tuned. I mean my current chocobo has 4 star stamina and has a pretty high score and it feels like there is a bacchus water on me. I haven't seen a choco potion or stamina tablet in an item box in 4 races but the NPCs don't seem affected like the players. They are still like before, shooting ahead of you and passing through you even though there is "supposed" to be collision, (there sure is when I try to choco dash near one and they immediately pull in front of me and it is wasted). Chocobo Racing for me is now unbearable. These changes were way too much and has ruined it for me. It was fine as it was, there was no reason to change it.
