There is no reaon NO REASON at all why it should be beyond a trivial programming change to make it so that ONLY races that BEGAN AND END WITHIN the time range of the challenge are counted. PERIOD.

This isn't difficult to understand, it's essential to keeping things fair, it's very easy to implement.

You cannot convince me that EA/FM are unaware of the RAMPANT cheating that is going on in EVERY SINGLE EVENT that earns GC. They simply do not care so long as there are people out there buying GC with real dollars. (Let me be clear; if you are one of the excited types herein who boast about having never spent a penny on the game, EA/FM don't give even 1/4 a poop about you, in fact, you are a drain on their profits and they wish you'd die in a fire).

This leads me to the only possible conclusion: EA/FM have done the math. They've determined that allowing cheating generates more dollars for them than preventing it. I havne't thought too much on how that is possible but I feel certain that this is the case.
