pitchblack in night stages

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug "Night" Races are Pitch Black I just started the Career mode (WRC J), playing now my second "Event" (my first really rally would be the rally Sweden ))... by day all seems fine, but the second stage for the second time now ends up being a "night race", even though it shows as day race in the pre-race info. Anyway I only see blue lights of the car and even they turn off after maybe 50m... then it is pitch black. Seems like the textures are messed up and are just shown black? I have an GTX 980 Ti (6GB) and using mostly medium settings (as recommended by the game it seems)... I did set the Textures to High (Shaders on Medium) though. and the Track to High as well (under Adv Graphics Settings). If the "High" textures setting is hitting some VRAM limit, this would be the first game I played to show such a mess-up. Recently played NfS Unbound, no issues there. (Note: When I set up the player character for the first time, they all had black textured faces... so there seems to be some issues with the textures and shaders.) Any tips...?
