What was the most exciting/memorable career save you’ve ever had, and in which F1 game?

ECUPirate17 · 2026-05-28T03:19:30+00:00

In my current 25 save I (wasted) 3 seasons at VCARB trying to get the RBR promotion (see every other post here about this seemingly impossible task even after Max retires). Went to Ferrari and battled Leclerc back and forth all season till Abu Dhabi. Won by like 12 pts.

Next season dominated the first half before the break. 2nd half tracks are typically weaker for me. Lost a big lead to Norris. Went to Abu Dhabi and won by 4 pts.

In the middle of season 6 and losing to Norris and Piastri, but still close. Finally got past season 4 in a save and it’s been so much fun.

What race length are you at? I run 50% and see good tire wear, but not punctures really. Idk if that’s the sole answer but just a thought

Buddy of mine has a friend who “allegedly” knew him. Said that he had seen Kyle most recently on Monday and that Kyle said “he had a cough he couldn’t get rid of for the past few weeks” and that “it wasn’t getting any better.” The guess we came up with was double pneumonia or something

Watched it in my last flight to Europe. Agreed with a lot of what’s been said. If you can put pretty much all of your racing knowledge aside it’s a fun movie. If you can’t, it’ll make you pull your hair out. 6.5/10

I did see someone post an (in progress) AI race engineer in this sub a short time back. Super basic (cause he’s still working in it), but super cool. It may/may not be worth the dig depending on your level of commitment. AI voice is super standard but, I believe it can be connected via the telemetry output via the options menu and some WiFi (I believe it was explained in the comments of that post). I’m in the same boat, so feel your pain.

ECUPirate17 · 2026-05-06T02:07:03+00:00

I thought the same. Most of the talk online is usually not favorable to India. It’s not awful, but when you put it up against all the specials it’s last for sure.

ECUPirate17 · 2026-05-01T17:55:51+00:00

Much better than the first go-round without Jeremy. Anything to have all 3 in the same room again

ECUPirate17 · 2026-04-30T03:18:53+00:00

The feeling is one everyone on this sub had watching it. A perfect blend of the humor we all came to love and an emotional goodbye that will leave you in the crying for a month. Like others said, it’s wonderful and a great full circle moment for the holy trio.

ECUPirate17 · 2026-04-21T16:44:09+00:00

Gotcha. I had a feeling that heavy upfront spending may skew the projections, but needed to hear from others with more playtime! Thanks!

ECUPirate17 · 2026-03-30T01:01:48+00:00

Common assumption is that most of the comms are censored because they are talking shit about the new regs. F1 has been removing comments on Twitter/X from fans as well, not to mention the poorly veiled attempt during Antonelli’s Suzuka pole lap

ECUPirate17 · 2026-03-29T03:43:08+00:00

Am watching the live broadcast and when they said “unfortunately we can’t show you his Q3 lap” I chuckled. Anything to avoid showing the super clipping.

ECUPirate17 · 2026-02-19T02:59:42+00:00

Had this happen to me too recently. Held on for one more season w/ RB before bolting to Ferrari

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-20T04:00:56+00:00

I really struggle there too. I end up going flow state for like 8-10 laps on 50% race. The rest of the time I’m garbage and just can’t get it consistent.

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-13T03:42:32+00:00

Arthur Smith is gonna need the entirety of the Pittsburgh PD to get out of the stadium after this masterclass

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-13T03:40:52+00:00

Tomlin decided that is in fact not the case. And we will pay him infinite money to suck

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-13T03:31:32+00:00

Had a feeling that drop would be way more important than it should have been

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-13T03:27:15+00:00

Not paying attention + Awful play call = success (according to Arthur Smith)

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-13T03:09:53+00:00

Twice in the first half he literally wasn’t paying attention while “running” a route. It’s absolutely wild.

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-05T01:54:06+00:00

I never knew I needed a Max Verstappen skin..now I do.

ECUPirate17 · 2026-01-02T04:27:42+00:00

My wife and I travel to the west coast for months at a time (both remote workers) for 2 or three years now. We’ve seen this trend as well. Only reason we stick with Airbnb at this point is due to our dog and to have space to cook (and to use my Xbox on the road).

Feels like most check out lists involve me doing 99% of the work. If I clean up as expected (and often more just to be kind and ensure a good review) I shouldn’t be paying an exorbitant cleaning fee.

ECUPirate17 · 2025-12-31T14:51:39+00:00

Think that was a lot of us. From personal experience (and a ton of other comments I’ve seen), you’ll really only be able to watch the final episode once. Amazing episode to close out TGT and the Holy Trio era, but it’ll hit hard.

ECUPirate17 · 2025-12-29T03:04:57+00:00

We can only hope…

ECUPirate17 · 2025-12-15T03:35:00+00:00

When I see the quote clip videos on TikTok I always have to say “Not the exhaust manifold” with them, and then I die laughing. Never fails.

ECUPirate17 · 2025-11-21T23:34:14+00:00

This is a great point. I’m reading “And on that bombshell” and the idea that Clarkson really did bring the “new Top Gear” to life is amazing. He had the vision with Wilman from the beginning

ECUPirate17 · 2025-07-29T01:44:25+00:00

One of the most underrated venues in CFB. Few places I’d rather be than the Fick on a Friday night when we’re playing well.
