In short, 3 player is private multiplayer meetup, we decide to do a race, the event owner set it up, race loads and we cannot steer (noone) in the race.

Oh, thank you. With my friends every time we relaunch the race 5-6 times before it works. With this workaround we can finally make a race without problems.
Hopefully they will also fix this bug sooner or later.

Does this issue still persist after recent updates? Would it be possible to provide a video of this in action?

I could provide a video of this problem in past races. Since January, we stopped playing our private leagues due to the numerous bugs that discouraged various players.
After a meetup, setting up a race all the players would start with the steering not working (the car would go straight). Then we restarted the lobby and it worked.

The video shows 3 races and shows two bugs.
Story: After 20 minutes of Meetup I set up a race with my lobby mates.
Bug 1: the race was set up by mistake by 1 lap and ended immediately, as soon as I started and crossed the finish line the race ended. It should be possible to complete the lap even in a 1 lap race…
Bug 2: race 2 and race 3, 10 laps, after the start the cars just go straight and fail to turn. The problem repeated itself both times.
We closed the lobby and after launching it directly as a race the steering wheel started working again.
The video was recorded on 8 December 2023.
