Cut Throat Races from Aus Gateway

So not sure if its just me, But both cut throat races I've entered since the aus gateway came online, I get through twilight strand just fine with no problems
but as soon as you head through the gate into lioneyes watch the game keeps rubberbanding you back to the gate, and seemingly there are no NPC's in town.

Logging out and back in doesnt resolve the issue you are just stuck in the central spawn point in town. the npc's do appear but you cant interact with them. you also cant go through to terraces.

But as soon as you change to the American Gateway everything works fine.

Is this working as intended? ie we cant use the australian gateway for CT events?

(not sure if this should be in bug reports or here, so feel free to move if its not the right location for it.)

Ok so every race this happens, not just cut throat. just had the exact same thing happen in the 12 min solo

Good to have two threads for attention - here's one in the support section: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/400088/page/1/#p3546077
