GPII: full race replay?

Is it possible to replay the entire race in Grand Prix II?  From reading
the manual and playing the game, it doesn't look like you can save more
than one lap at a time.  It sure would be nice to save the entire race.
I forget to stop in the middle and save a lap right in the thick of it.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Unfortunately you can only save one lap at a time. A full race replay
would be great, even if it required a large hard drive swap file. Check
out Indycar and Indycar 2 for an example of excellent replay
capabilities. :-)

Nope....the most you can save is one lap.  Ridiculous, ain't it, when you
think of NASCAR Racing and IndyCar Racing?!

     Ridiculous indeed!  It's my single biggest gripe about GP2.
Any chances of a patch addressing this at all?

I, like most people, miss the great replay functions of the Papy sims
but before everyone starts to slag off GC for his "one lap wonders"
consider why we don`t have long replays.  As well as storing the info.
for the hot laps the game is also storing all of the telemetry
available to us.  IMHO this is much more useful than an ego-inflating
replay.
