Is this what you are looking for?
GPxPatch 4.50GPxLap: Added quicksave and autosave so you don't have to leave the cockpit to save the game. Use F12 for quicksave.
GPxPatch 4.51GPxLap: Fixed autosave not working when player was leading the race.
GPxPatch 4.52GPxLap: Fixed quicksave/autosave not working for GP3 and GP3-2000.
I use version 4.52 and F12 works.
