Career Mode - WRC2 - Season 1 - Last event of season pending (Forum8 Japan), last few weeks of that season left for me is all I can remember

This happened immediately after installing the latest update for the game on Steam, Windows PC. Time Trial mode worked absolutely fine, but at the time of posting this report, EA WRC servers are momentarily down. I don't know if Career Mode relies on that connection at all even if it's single player but I'm noting it here just in case. Many people have noticed this bug already so I'm expecting plenty of these reports. Hope you get it sorted out soon!
