You CAN skip some cuts to earn more fame per lap, but then your fame per minute goes down. My figures are opposite, although the time measurement error (start the timer, stop the timer several times) does not allow me to insist. Here are two Endurance races on PTT Short in the FXX K as example: * More stay on track, usually cut chicane and sometimes cut bus stop

That's true.

I would like to mention that fame per lap as well as fame per minute are not good base for a calculation: Fame per min, with all reservations, is useful for comparison of different events though.
 * They are vary;
 * Neither time nor laps display on the HUD.

I use fame points per km instead as it fixed for any event and current distance always displays during an event; endurance is about distance, isn't it? For the event in question fame points per km = 295.3

Practical use: I was on the road when ME7 explained the oddities of calculating the bonus (thanks again), and I easily figured out when I should stop so 8x points would be enough for the next whole level.
