It is bot slowing for gold. So they showed obvious intention to obstruct players under rec. PR by any means. How does that fits into conspiracy theory? Or is that just normal in competitve racing? I find it unfair from day 1, creating unequal chances artificially. After that doing other things to create inequality for gold just wouldn't surprise me... That never really bothered me. You could look at it the other way and say, when you upgrade your car they give you an extra bonus of an easier target. If they didn't, you'd have to spend even more on upgrades, so it is quite generous!

The point being, they have a number which they want you to pay, and they will do whatever they do to make sure you pay it. If they didn't do one thing, they'd do something else. So I just play the game with whatever tools they give me. Whether the cars stats are changed (I don't believe they are) or targets change with upgrades or whatever, doesn't really matter to me. It's the same for everyone and it's just a means to an end to make sure they get the price they want.
