Cannot unlock the Lotus Evija and progress the career.

Basically it's impossible to unlock the Lotus Evija. To unlock it you have to "Complete Lotus E Cup Event 1". 

But you cannot complete the Lotus E Cup Event 1 because the Lotus Evija is locked and you cannot use it to complete the event. And you can't use another car because you have to use that one.

So it's impossible to unlock and so impossible to unlock events in Pro Career.

So, what gives? Help please.
