Quitting out of replay before finish takes away the race win

Yet another unbelievable bug in this unbelievably buggy game: I got first place in a Retro Muscle circuit race at Nice Massena. I won by like 12 seconds. So I watched a couple of replay laps until I was too far ahead to care, so I quit out. Then I was shown in 2nd place–16 pts. I cursed the mother of all programmers (which includes me, but what the hell–I was mad), and ran the replay again for a bit, and quit out again. Again, 2nd place. So I got into the replay a 3rd time, this time letting it play all the way till the end–3 laps. I quit out just as it looped back to the start. And finally, I got back my win–20 points.

This is yet another first for me. I have never played a racer before where the replay can affect the race results. I started with Pole Position on the Atari 2600.
