No I think you missed my point. The Cups and Championships do not show up at all, even with a new profile. And even if you try looking for them with one of the default cars.
I tried starting a new game/new profile. The tutorial "story" still takes you to the used car dealership (I bought the default Lancia) and then on to the C4 school. But after you complete the tests and it tells you to go to the C4 Championship, it's not there.
In fact, because that "center point" I mentioned that holds them together is missing from the database, your GPS will direct you to the upper left most corner of the map, where there is nothing. It seems to me that the database file that gets copied over from the AutoPack may be corrupted somewhat in the latest release.
So I tested even further. I went and completed the tests in the other schools to unlock the Championships. And they do the same. It will still let you play the "Bomb" missions and go to the schools, but the Championships and Cups are not there.
I did not yet test the earlier versions of the AutoPack to see if the same thing happens. If you want, I can try that and let you know when I have time.
