N4 - Is there a way to re-start the race?

At the risk of exposing my lack of professionalism, is there a keyboard command to re-start the race after a bad start? If I remember correctly, I think N3 and GPL had a shift+R combo or something like that. I know, I know...It's the wus's way out of a bad start. My excuse is that I'm forced to use an inaccurate wheel right now, and the frame rate seems to drop significantly for a few seconds at the green flag (hence less control). I assure you my head is lowered in shame as I ask this. Brian

Once the race is started you either finish it or have the option of saving the session when you exit. If you save the current session, it only saves prior to the start of the race - ie, your qualifying and race start position. So yes, you can start a race over with your original qualifying, but you will have to exit , save the session, and go back in. -- Don Burnette D Burnette in N4 Some people do nothing wrong. The problem is, they do nothing. And THAT is wrong.

Haven't tried it myself, but if you exit after you qualify you should be asked if you want to save the race weekend. You should then be able to load it and re-start the race. Would mean pre-empting a bad start, but for me it's a given. ;) Cheers, Rod.

I should have been more accurate in my original post. I wanted to avoid leaving the track. I think N3 just instantly put you back on the start line.

nope...this is another difference between N4 and n3...N4 follows the GPL procedure.

Yes, it was my most used key combo. I wish it existed in N4, but the lack of it will force us to be better drivers since the cost of a botched up start is high.

I believe that the Shift-R in N3 only worked in practice sessions. I do not think it worked in a actual race session. I could be wrong, you start to lose your memory when you have not played it for awhile "Brian Carabee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ixRl6.67$[email hidden]... > Yes, it was my most used key combo.

Actually, shift-r in N3 restarted the race at the start of the pace lap. -- Don Burnette D Burnette in N4 Some people do nothing wrong. The problem is, they do nothing. And THAT is wrong.

You are wrong. I wish that feature was in N4 as well - It takes too long to have to reload the track that advance up to race =P On Sat, 24 Feb 2001 20:17:31 -0600, "Cliff Roman" <[email hidden]> wrote:
