I think Papyrus copped out as they couldn't spend the time to implement
a save race feature to suit their exacting criteria and still make the
release schedule.  I know that the purists think it's a bad idea, but as
it is, it sure would have come in handy last night.  I was working on a
full length race at Monza and only had 18 laps to go and for some unkown
reason my wife hadn't scheduled dinner for an approriate time.  At least
she indulges me my GPL indulgence.  We even watched Grand Prix together,
but then she used to hang about with Sterlin Moss.
