Lemans endurance has been added long after 10 lappers, and it has even higher fame/min. Even if this is correct, there were many other exploits ( like car borrowing+FU for WTTT, gold time travel etc. ,check user RusTork) that FM was warned to. Some of them are still active, after years, not months! MP4-X Le Mans Endurance is a cheat. If you run the race with the time trial line you will never reach the perpetual point. At most maybe 3 laps and then the car needs to be serviced.

Le Mans issue was that it Fame was supposed to be set as Fame per mile and instead they multiplied by the kilometer distance. They are at least 60% more than it should be. Not quite 1980's Brazil or present day Venezuela inflation, but difficult for an economy to absorb.

As for Upgrade Borrowing, the effect is limited and not inflationary because of the Group percentages and group percentages are determined by total participation. You might think it cost a few hundred gold, but they likely wouldn't get those upgrade purchases from that cheater anyway, so it doesn't actually hurt FM directly. The only people it hurts are the players on the margins of a Group who get demoted to the next lower group. Not saying it is right and that it couldn't negatively effect the bottom line by getting honest players to quit, but there weren't extra awards paid out.
