Looping a track in PA800

When recording in a sequencer mode, is there any way to loop certain track? For example I obviously won't be recording a drum truck or a base for 50 measures

I watched Korg Arranger Secrets DVDs but did not find answer in there. It only showed recording of a very short song. What would be the approach on recording a song from scratch? I imagine it would probably be creating a style first, then recording the song in Quick Record Mode, and then editing later. Am I correct?

The approach on recording a song is doing everything from scratch in Sequencer.
Looping one track...not possible...what the hell are the other tracks are gonna do
while this one is looping...you have a Copy function in there for that.

That's possible in most work stations that have a more advanced midi editing and recordign features. I know for sure Tritonstudio has this feature. May be in the future Arranger keyboards will have some of those features as well.
If you're a beginner sequencer, as Rob suggested in the past, you can use a style with its accompaniment to record the melodies. Once you the frame set up, then you can go back to individual track and make further adjustments. That might be a good way for starters.
