qaulifying without falling glitch?

[jburm]

So i have had my top sponsors be the ones that require you to qaulify in a certain position without falling which i have been doing and ive been getting around 100000 for each race, this allows me to have a full staff of engineers and upgrade my bike like crazy. So today i fell while qaulifying, didnt get the sponsor payout because of it, big deal one race...oh well. So next race i qaulify first without falling, finish the race and BAM says i fell during qaulifying, didnt get any of the payouts for the 4 sponsors with qaulify without falling objectives. I had to let go an engineer, tried it again and same thing happened. Qaulified first without falling still no payout. So i thought well ill try new sponsors and the same thing happened still no payout. Now im down to 3 engineers and a press officer and i am barely making any money. Im wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if there is a way to alleviate the problem. Im not making crap for money anymore and im almost a level 25, id hate to have to restart, in fact i wouldnt. Also a side note, i always do the practice then go to the pits then quit to start new research. ive been doing this since the 125cc and a ways through the motogp so not sure if that has something to do with it all of a sudden. thanks for any responses.
