need sme help w/ Nascar 4

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I just discovered this group. I can't
believe that Nascar 4 was released without a way to save a race - this
is just totally incredible to me!
Then while looking on Sierra's site I find this:
Problem:
Can not save game

Solution:
The ability to save a race in progress is not available with NASCAR 4.
Due to time constraints, it was not feasible for the developers to
implement the "Save race" feature. The developers are aware of the
desire for such a feature.

If the save feature is important to you, we suggest writing the

response acknowledging receipt, and your e-mail will be forwarded to
the relevant department.

WTF????? I sent an email to the suggestions email address only to have
it bounce (surprise).

My question is, is there any way to fix this, or barring that, is
there a way to contact Sierra that works?

Thanks,
-Ed

development on N4 ended about 2 years ago, there will be no help for N4.....no proper sim lets you
save in the middle of a race anyway....there hasn't been a save race option since N2 to the best of
my knowledge

That may be, but they're still selling it, so they should fix it.

Really? Do you have 3-4 hours to sit down and play a 500 mile race in
one sitting?

N3 (which I guess I'll be going back to) has it.

Are you saying Nascar 2002 and 2003 don't have a save option either?

That is correct. I'm guessing it's the single biggest feature that people
have asked for, but isn't in the game. But you will be missing some great
sim racing if you stay away from NR2003 just because it doesn't have a save
game.

I miss this too. If you are going back, go here:

You can get nice carsets for 2002, 2003 and some track updates also.

Sorry - you're SOL.  Papyrus has abandoned N4...  The newer NASCAR games don't
have a savegame feature either.

Oh please.

This point is irrelevant.  We aren't Papyrus.  No need to tell this to us.

Biz wrote clearly "no proper sim".  Sorry, N3 is not a "proper sim" anymore.

We have a winner!
