I have the same problem as well,
Its not a hardware issue, as I have played many other maps outside of career mode with success.
However, every second stage of a map in career mode all the map textures go black. Only the start lights are visible and I am still able to hear the audio of my car.
I thought it was just a specific map problem, so I retired the event and chose another map. The first stage of that map was functioning well with no problems, then once the second map comes into rotation, its just another black screen texture map. Its just unplayable man.
If you also have a GTX 970, 980 or 980ti it is actually a hardware related problem. I hope they fix it though because it is unplayable for me like this.
My GTX 980 is stronger than the 1060 minimum requirement so I don't get why it wouldn't work, and why they have not yet fixed or even acknowledged it.
Maybe one of us should make this thread in the technical problems forum, maybe it will be treated as a more serious problem there.
I replaced the 960 with the 1650 super
