If anyone is still interested, i found a solution: Select Emerson Beltway in Easydrive, then choose Set destination and drive to event manually.
I have this same problem. I had it previously with a different car, I can't remember which, but the problem went away when I won another race and the mods equipped to my car changed. Currently experiencing it with the Mercedes Bens SLS-AMG. Can't seem to get it to work. It is really annoying because it is not just a small bug, the entire game crashes. Please someone do something about this.
So, I managed to get past the crashing on this race in the Mercedes I mentioned above. It seems like the trick in both cases was to complete all the events above it and try different vehicle mods. I think it has to do with either the body or the chassis mod equipped.
It's not the ideal solution. The game needs to be fixed. But it is a way for those of you who are stuck to carry on playing.
