@ ZekkeRJ:

Agreed, however the time limit events are there to dissuade bot management as well. As one of the primary ways to slow the bots is to hold them up or take them out, this takes up time. If you have a time limit to finish the race, then you don't have as much (or any) time to manage the bots. We saw a similar tactic used recently on a Speed Record race. Similarly, this was done to keep people from backing up to use more of the track to gain speed. The time given was just slightly more than was needed to race straight through.

As FM's strategy has evolved from event to event, we've seen restrictions such as these emerging to counter the bot management.
