Hi Joshua, I’ll look at this in the morning, but I believe that you can still click on those points on the map. What happens if you locate those positions that you can click on and set a route to one of them? Are you able to travel there?
I think I remember having the same issue but for me, it let me click on another place on the map and do a race. So I first did a race and then I did one of the events. So for me I didn’t do the story right away, I first did at least one race and then I went back and did a part of the story. I don’t remember the exact order but I remember that I was able to do races before I did the story. Sorry for the frustration, as I said I’ll try to figure this out in the morning and see if I can offer any more help. Have a great night! Cheers!
