No enduro's for starters! Also, things can happen where simply being able to pause is
no good ie you need to stop and leave the computer for hours. Come to think of it, if no
racesave, then why a pause feature? Not very sim like, is it!
   I personally see the lack of a racesave as lazy on Papy's part. It could be something
that is simply noted in race results, etc.
