WirtualTV released a video showing a Trackmania world record he obtained using an analog keyboard, using custom input curves to hit particular steering percentages needed for a particular track. He argues that Nadeo should clarify the rules about what input devices and software will be allowed. Within 6 months, what will Nadeo’s response be?
“All input devices” means all typical computer/gaming input methods: keyboards, controllers, steering wheels, touchscreen, etc, not something dumb like a TAS input device.
This can resolve early if Nadeo seems to have put out the final word; if they change the decision within the 6 months, this would then get re-resolved.

I think this resolve to "Ban/allow objective set of input configurations across all input devices" as they banned setting a "custom range of steering" and to "switch the joystick sensitivity curve". Those seem pretty objective to me.
@Pazzaz Thanks for the link! Nadeo called out some things that are fine (peripheral calibration without external tools, and without swapping frequently between calibrations) and some things that are not fine (using external tools to limit the steering max). These seem to be objective to me, so resolving thusly.
(They are far from exhaustive though. Does this even apply to Wirtual as stated? I thought he used software provided by the analog keyboard manufacturer to limit steering. Does this apply to steering curves that can lock you at 63% in the middle of the input range before going to 100%)
@Pazzaz In that case, if the text of their response doesn't add anything new, but just links or repeats the original, I'd resolve to:
Ban/allow particular records or configs without specifying a rule.
