It is not farming.
After the new update, the fame points that players gain after each race are not being calculated correctly.
Even if you are in the most competitive league and achieve good results, you gain very few points.
Consequently, it is more likely to go down in rank rather than up.
On the other hand, when the fame season ended on January 1st, I noticed that accounts didn't have their fame reset; they only lost a couple of points.
As a result, deleted accounts maintained their fame, which is why this particular team is first in the Italian hall of fame.
This should be addressed in general; both the hall of "shame" (where you can find many players who are shamelessly farming) and the fame-gain system need to be revised.
I have stated this many times in the forum: the game needs its integrity restored.
In my opinion, Jack has to take action regarding this issue; it cannot continue.
There are some good suggestions in the forum, and I hope he will do something soon.
