In the last week I've bought F1 2000, SCGT and GPL. Not one of them allows you to save during the race. How can I run a full length race with no save game feature? I don't want to have to sit in fornt of my computer for 80 laps in one session. Is there some kind of technical issue as to why these games don't have this option? GP2 has an in-game save feature so why not these ones? -- Nos

Maybe a good way to enable "fair" saves would be to only allow saves in the pit? Perhaps also a game that was saved in "career" mode could only be continued from its last save point. Just my 2 cents. Andrew Hey! HEY! Where is the "cents" key on the keyboard!?!?! (just another way the man is keeping us down) Nos wrote:

The adrealine rush you get when you're fighting for the win after 2 hours of racing, without saving or pausing, is the biggest thrill you'll ever get behind a pc. Andre On Thu, 25 May 2000 11:37:48 GMT, Andrew Turner <[email hidden]> wrote:

Funny, I sit *in front* of my PC, but, well, to each his own. :-] Andrew PS But I *was* behind my PC with my wife the other night, pretty good thrill there you know.

GPL has no savegame feature? Funny, I never even noticed.
