Career - No Lancia Hospitality Benefactor Relationship Boost on Restrictive

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Summarize your bug Finishing the Lancia Hospitality event within the parameters set (8th or above) does not award you with a Benefactor Relationship Boost when the Benefactor Relationship difficulty is set to Restrictive.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a new career, or start a new season in a continued career > Set Benefactor Relationship difficulty to Restrictive > Participate in the Lancia Hospitality event (Doesn't matter what length the event is) > Finish 8th or above
What happens when the bug occurs? In the "End of Week 1" screen, when it brings up the event details, if you finish 8th or above, it does not add an extra bar to the Benefactor Status.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see a green bar added to the Benefactor Status, like it does on other Hospitality events (see Peugeot Hospitality Post Event.jpg)

Below are screenshots taken after the Lancia Hospitality event, and after the Peugeot Hospitality event. Both were completed using the Restrictive difficulty setting for "Benefactor Relationship".

    Below is a screenshot of the "End of Week 1" screen, with the Lancia Hospitality event shown. I finished the event using "Generous" Benefactor Relationship difficulty, and received one green bar.

    After finding this, my assumption is it multiplies the "Balanced" reward by 0.5 for restrictive, and 1.5 for Generous. However, it also rounds down, like with the XP awarded per KM traveled.
    EG. The Lancia Hospitality event set to "Balanced" awards you with 1 Benefactor Status boost. If it's set to "Restrictive", it's 0.5, but rounds down so it gives you nothing. And when set to "Generous", it becomes 1.5, but rounds down so it gives you 1 bar, just like with "Balanced"
