Settings changes during a challenge.

Is there a reason that we can't pull up the settings menu during a challenge?
It's been consistent throughout early access.
Maybe I was rippin' stupid building jumps with some buddies and had 100% pop height or any other given threshold turned all the way up/down and would like to go back to my 'default' playstyle settings, but I CAN'T whoever is making the decisions forgot what fun feels like.
Unless I quit, findthe challenge on the map, navigate to it once again, and then get to hear Vee take me back to cheesy kindergarten bible school joke class.
Shut up computer, I just wanna be left alone and grind this stupid rail in my skeleton sweats that took forever to unlock.
