So from what you are saying, the Perpetual Point is basically an Easter Egg for High Level upgrades by fast drivers.... The Monkeys sure do believe in the Rich-Get-Richer Mantra. The Perpetual Point isn't an intended design by FM, they've tried to stop it. The Indy race I showed used to be easier, FM cranked the bot hardness. They are against this type of farming. In fact, I would say they are against "rich drivers". We don't represent any future revenue stream for them, other than ad revenue. Look at the instant ban for reaching R$750 million. Also, I just read on Facebook the other day that a high level driver had his level-up amount drop. He was getting 90 and had it drop to low 80's.

It's not just for the rich. You can fully upgrade the Porsche 918 RSR concept  for 151 gold & drive it forever on Porsche Short Track. It does require no assist driving though. One thing you have to remember ME7 is that FM was taken over by EA, and while it might have been friendly, there may be some of the software engineers that don't like the corporate direction the game took after the marriage. They can't overtly put things in the would benefit the players, but they can hide certain things in the code, like a perpetual endurance, that can really help out players if they can find them. Maybe they even come here and drop a few hints of where to look.

Really how hard would it be to kill the current Test Track run? You can't mess too much with the physics at the chicane, because bots sometimes are a bit too aggressive, but there is no reason for a car to be going into that area behind the barrier leading to the Start/Finish straight. They could code that to be the digital equivalent of quicksand and you basically trap the car for several seconds... and that is without implementing any off-track penalty clock like in OMP. Just make the car beach for too long to make it worth the while of the cut.

And it isn't like they don't know about it. You don't think that someone at FM is tasked with monitoring your YouTube stream, or SJs, or basically anyone posting videos on Real Racing?
