Sprint Race events not displaying correctly
After choosing Authentic format enabling sprint races at Imola, Austria and Brazil, they are not always appearing correctly in the menus. For example, when I'm finished with the Australian GP event a...

@EA_rephiiIf you look at the attachments from DRudd13, their attachment with 588 kb actually answers your question already. There is a screenshot from a French sprint race. The key question is though if DRudd13 chose authentic mode before starting the season. I did, and authentic mode enables sprint races in Imola, Austria and Brazil, if they are chosen to the race calendar (in cases of customised calendars, I use the official full calendar). I haven't tried if there actually would have been a sprint race for me in France as the menu showed. Before starting the French gp, I had restarted the game which wiped out the French sprint.
So I'm quite sure there is a bug. The screenshots should prove it 🙂
@KPV4ever Yes, I picked authentic and the official calendar. Just in Grand Prix mode with no practice.

Hey everyone,
I passed that on to our team for further investigation. Thanks for your reports so far!

Hi @EA_rephii this is still happening in game. Xbox Grand Prix mode, authentic race type. See pictures.
But I remembered what @KPV4ever had said about quitting first, and that worked. See video's
@EA_rephiiJust answering as you previously asked what actually happens if I proceed to the "sprint race" in the event that actually shouldn't have it. Well. As I reached Brazil in my season drive-through process, I decided to try what happens at Abu Dhabi while proceeding there without restarting the game first (which, as I told before, corrects the event main menu). As I guessed, it showed me a sprint race there even if I was in Authentic mode (which only should enable sprint races in their locations, Imola/Austria/Brazil). As I was driving my season with full race lengths, in Abu Dhabi the "sprint" was also full length. Normal points were awarded, as well as in the "main race". In "sprint race" in Abu Dhabi I had the starting grid presentation but not in the "main race".

This is still happening on 1.09 in GP mode 25% race short qualifying
Started a new authentic season in clear conditions as I need to work on race set-ups.
Get to Imola, and it's showing qualifying, sunny, with just a full race but only 5 laps in mixed conditions rain and sun. So it has even interfered with my settings.
