has anyone seen their car type change in the race standings?

I understand there is an old bug which seems to randomly change your country flag. But today I did a race (offline against AI), using the 2005 cars and both classes. I was in practice mode and when I first started (entered into the first practice) my flag was correct, and my name was correct, and my car was correct (GT1 class corvette).. I did a few laps and had a wreck .. when I looked at the standings, it said I had a different country and I was driving a GT2 car? I was still sitting in the corvette. l
I had recently done a complete re-install of the game so I think I should be good there, but I am doing a verification of the files in Steam.
Anyone else see something like this?
I wish to start a championship using GT1 and GT2 (from 2005) and I just want to make sure things are working before I start a season.
