Now people can't ram you off the track or block you with robot programs, cutting or running off track makes it equal playing field for all competitors, and the matching algorithm makes competition a lot tighter to for equally based player skill/PR/car chosen, etc.

Given the time and energy FM put into improving and bringing the quality of this aspect of the game to us players, can you blame them for wanting to promote it? This is an excellent way imho to re-introduce OMP. I understand your point that this is a marketing strategy by FM to get more players to do OMP. However, I believe doing it Christmas day is foolish from that same marketing perspective since most people spend the time doing other things (family time, etc.).

Given that there are never more than 500-600 players online when I do OMP, I can understand FM's push to get more players. I predict, however, that the timing of this promotion will not help.
