Formula E bug - Abt Homologation

In free race, the car will auto-homologate, but won’t start the race.
It tells me that “YOUR CAR IS ALREADY OPTIMIZED FOR THIS DIVISION”, then drops back to the race screen. It doesn’t start the race.

Same issue

I had this and can’t quite remember how I fixed it. I think to go to the free race and load the car then go back to champs with the car already loaded and choose the E series and it does not even ask about it. When I got the car I went around in circles for 10 mins on that bug. It was something a little weird like that anyway.

I know this thread is a few months old, but I’m still experiencing this with many different vehicles (not just Formula E)… I tried making a particular car my drive car but that made no difference. What did work was going into the garage and resetting the car to a default setup and then letting the race auto-homolagate. Without any upgrades the state doesn’t get properly updated, with updates, it does.
