Daily races without others but full lobbies

So I’m back to gt after the road Atlanta bug that wouldn’t let the races start back in the summer, either june or July. And now the races start with full 16 person lobbies but all the other cars just sit at the start until I pit and they disappear. However I can drive through them and I see others post fastest laps, also after I complete the race I’m awarded a position but there’s literally no competition, per se. so no sr lost. It’s fine I guess but I don’t feel like I’m getting any better just racing alone. Anyone know what is happening? I did delete and reload the game. Test connection quality is 88 in the green.
