Starting Position Incorrect

During me and my cousin's two-player career mode, our starting positions for both the Sprint and Full Race at the Shanghai International Circuit were incorrect. During the Sprint Qualifying, I set 2nd, while my cousin set 16th (was in the bathroom lol). Come the sprint, I was sitting at P1 and he was P2. Now, for the Race Qualifier, I set P1, and my cousin set P6.  Come race day, I was P15 and he was P19. I don't understand how this could even be possible, and it is very discouraging to try in Qualifying if this will keep happening. I am a little worried about continuing our career mode if this is a known thing and not resolved. If anyone else has experienced this and found a fix, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope this is an easy fix or track-specific and will be addressed soon.

  • Same bug happens to me regularly, two player career mode, I'm on steam and friend through EA pc app. 

    Usually happens on sprint quali and no matter where I qualify, it will not put me in the correct position.

    And quite often we get the blue flag at the start of the race.

    Will there be a fix for this soon? This has been under investigation for several months but I've seen reports of this dating back a year?

    Yeah this been happening for a few years at least. I'm not 100% sure why it happens some races but not others, but it can completely break the season. Started a lap down on the last race of the season up 5 points in the championship. Couldn't get it to work no matter how many times we restarted.
