I changed my wording to “loophole”.

FM never explains how the game works, and they shouldn’t. The algorithm may have unintended consequence. Due to bot management, you can get to 75% completion on old series without upgrading. FM has not changed the algorithm, but in newer series they closed the loophole by requiring players to complete nearly all non-showcase events before a new tier is opened.

Wall riding is another. The engine differentiates collision and touching. It’s not explained, but really skilled players can “feel it” and use that to their advantage in WTTT. Maybe one day FM will fix it, and we would all curse how some SE challenges have become impossible.

Or cutting corners? Maybe FM will place penalty on corner cutting so we can forever say goodbye to ME7’s awesome video on perpetual racing.

FM will continue to make little and big changes. We may notice, we may not. As long as the game is still fun, we will all adapt and learn how to best use the new rules to our advantages.
