Some issues that needs to be addressed

I do for the most part absolutely love this game, i have over 450 hours into the game already, and have no plans on putting the game down, and overall i think you did a brilliant job with the game despite the post launch issues, but there are a couple of things that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. 

There are still ridiculous cuts being used in time trial, sugunoi kenya is a good example, top records are almost more off the road than on it, while there are some big cuts in real life kenya, cutting with all 4 wheels of the stage in every single turn would either get you a heavy time penalty or DQ, or pacifico with people jumping into several meter deep pits to skip large parts of turns, which more than likely would break a real rally car, easily solvable with just adding ADC's(anti cut devices)

its a symptom of the relaxed damage models, i think for time trial hardcore damage should be enabled, it would help mitigate the issue a little bit, while also adding ADC's at the same time, would help mitigate people using ridiculous cuts that would absolutely would get you penalized, or break the car in real life.

It is also possible to jump the start by about 0.2-0.4 seconds in any game mode, which from what i have noticed, most of the top records in time trial is using. There are also actual cheaters in time trial, otepaa estonia and eksharad sweeden WR's for examples, the first he completed by quite literally flying through the stage in 3m09s despite the stage taking over 7 minutes normally, in eksharad sweeden he did the same, but completed the stage in 11 seconds, i am sure there are other records i haven't seen.

All this is currently making time trial a very hard game mode to enjoy for most people, at least the ones trying to compete on the leaderboards, i myself stopped trying to compete on most locations due to these things, i mostly just use it for setup work or general practice now. 

We need more save slots for setups, quick play championships and events. There aren't enough setup slots to cover all the events in the game, much less the different stages in the events, which is causing at least myself, a proper headache, as i have to memorize things like gear ratios, damper settings etc for the events i cant save setups for, i assume others are bothered by this as well. As for more event and championship save slots, with all the different car classes and many events in the game, the limited save slots makes it impossible to have any meaningfull variety between saved events.

Lastly, the livery editor could use some serious improvement. When rotating, moving or skewing decals they rotate at mach 5, making it almost impossible to get the perfect angle, a simple slider option to set the speed at which these changes happen would solve the issue. The option to edit controls in livery editor would help A LOT as well, as people like myself with 60% keyboards on their sim rigs don't have the buttons used natively, meaning we have to use the FN key, the default key binding layout doesnt really make any logical sense. There is also an issue causing PC's to shut down in livery editor when using ultra graphics, the workaround currently is simply turning the graphics down when editing liveries, but it does need fixing.
