I was more or less having fun with all the quantum mechanics talk. I do not expect FM did any such thing intentionally. There are however, unintended consequences to many actions though.

I also first thought it had to do with the amount of bots being passed at a given moment. Then I recalled some of my crazy Indy Speedway Endurance races. I have passed 10 cars in 1 second sometimes during huge crashes in the P1 GTR. There's a point in my Nissan Godzilla race where I passed 8 cars in 6 seconds. So bot passing is just 1 part.

There are 3 required components;
 * Passing 4 or more bots
 * Taking an off-track cut where the distance marker suddenly changes
 * Having your timer hit 90

I've passed 6 bots on the Bridge circuit cut, but my time was at 20 sonit didn't fill, I kept going. Later in the very same race at the same cut it froze and crashed. My timer filled up.

The cuts at Porsche Short don't double back on themselves, so the distance never changes.

So my theory is that it's a specific number of events that MUST happen for the glitch to occur. My solution, I NEVER farm at any of those tracks anymore.

In general I wish more people stuck with Occam's razor. To many things to get over complicated with too many assumptions. I use that method of thought more often in general life and find it helps productivity. Too much time thinking and nothing gets done. Once in a while I dive in the deep end though!
