comfirm, same thing for me .. its not all servers but always on the same one for me right now , other servers from same league work .. go back to that same one and im in spectate.. is there a work around ? ****edit**** To add, after the race session ended I was no longer a spectator at the NEXT event so it did sort its self out ,however I was unable to practice ,Q or race in the original race I was trying to join no matter what , I restarted the game a few times but still came in as spectator but only in that one server seems like its a bug where the game has determined that you have entered during a race session where it always puts you as a spectator until the race is over /session changes again .. seems like it anyway ..;-)
