I just submitted a Grand Prix run with the disc in the tray, so the load times are genuine. But after my run I ejected the disc to find what I had feared: scratches.

I bought this game new old stock and only put it in a CD tray to back the game up on a HDD to play through OPL. The game is on a CD, not a DVD, and I saw only CDs being affected by this, and not DVDs.

I want to make runs of this game on OPL from now on. I know the load times are quicker, but the alternative to me is playing until my CD is unreadable or my drive breaks down. That's bad for anyone playing on real hardware!
