[keen brook]

And also having drivers like Evans, Frijns, Cassidy, Rowland, Mortara in F1 is really interesting.

[fallow breach]

and this time i got past the start but the level of braking assist i have on (low??) is making me cede positions for no reason

my experience with brake assist levels:
none: lewis hamilton on the baku 2021 red flag restart
low: some attempts i'm ceding positions, some attempts i'm running wide but others it does benefit me
medium: "here you go sir, you can pass, and you, and you as well"

[keen brook]

Oh and de Vries also returns to F1.

He was too obvious to remember him.

[fallow breach]

only 19

[floral apex]

bros boutta get fired after 10 races

[fallow breach]

spun by ocon, spun by leclerc...

[floral apex]

i think the database editor will continue to be used a lot for things that still havent been added

[fallow breach]

yk what fine i will retire

[floral apex]

make your bets on who will spin virtanen next!

[fallow breach]

my original thought about japan when i decided to add it to the calendar: oh yeah i do well around this circuit

reality:

you spin me right round-

ughhh of course mclaren get the 1-2

[floral apex]

"oh i do well around suzuka"
at suzuka: mazespin simulator

[fallow breach]

virtanen 2033:

• win bahrain by 5 seconds after a red flag and a safety car
• australia started alright with lead management, then i had a drs failure midrace while 2.6 seconds ahead and then i ended up barely holding on by the end of lap 15
• absolute disaster in japan

[keen brook]

Yeah, the database editor will still be useful.

It will just need less features now.

I think this will then be the end of what Frontier does with the game.

[floral apex]

i dont even think creating a driver is possible on either database editor or save browser so thats a huge feature

[keen brook]

Basically they now say, you can now do what you want, it will be replayable for years, have fun.

Yeah, it isn't.

You can only edit existing drivers.

Well and this will still be the biggest point of the database editor.

As I think you won't be able to edit existing drivers.

[floral apex]

Yea

[keen brook]

Which can be useful for things like an equal grid.

all cars equal, all drivers equal

pure chaos🔥

[floral apex]

They're making more features a part of the base game bit they're not fully taking away the mod

[keen brook]

yeah

But the things what they do definitely make the game timeless now.

At it now even without mods has infinite replayability.

[floral apex]

Codies game: 10 year cap
Frontier game: wait, we can end?!?

[keen brook]

There is now always something new you can do.

Is it recreating historic seasons, future seasons, different racing series.

The possibilities are endless now.

[red wadi]

I’ll play the season finale tomorrow (most likely)

[floral apex]

I do like how i've kept the sunwest save going even tho theres no more glory to rise to

[fallow breach]

idk what im gonna play now

should i even play imola rn

honestly maybe yeah

i don't usually suffer that much in imola

...usually

WHERE HAVE I PULLED POLE FROM??

i was down in p22 bc i was struggling to get a run in all quali

started a lap in the final minute

only driver on track

i can see my comparisons against zhou guanyu in p18

and sector 1 i'm only 1 tenth quicker than him (he's 0.88 seconds away from pole)

sector 2 i'm a quarter of a second up

So i'm thinking as i come around the final corner (not knowing the deltas at the time) "i'm absolutely cooked i'm only 2 tenths ahead of a williams"

cross the line p1.

0.086 clear of Norris who was on provisional pole

I'll take it

but like how

[floral apex]

Man pulled a Monaco Verstappen

Absolute banger of a third sector

[fallow breach]

that 3rd sector was half a second quicker than the mclarens and Piastri 🔥

[floral apex]

They mustve been going real slow through the final corners

[fallow breach]

previous fastest sector 3 was a 25.421 (norris)

virtanen put up a 24.934

anyway whos gonna win in imola

wonder what the next lore point will be

Finishing lap 4, Virtanen leads by 1.1 seconds over Norris, Piastri, Verstappen and Charles Leclerc - a McLaren-Ferrari chequerboard

Piastri is past Norris into P2!

Interesting, Charles Leclerc jumps Max Verstappen in the pits!

[edgy cradle]

my main discord account got blocked

D:

anyway

current results for my F1 24 career as Kornelia Olkucka in VCARB:

• Bahrain P10,
• Jeddah P6,
• Melbourne P1 (strategy win)
• Suzuka DNF (crash)
• China sprint DNF (retired because of my choice)
• China race DNF (mechanical issue)
• Miami sprint P11
• Miami race (started P2 but i saved and quit but there was a red flag on like lap 10 due to piastri spinning in the last hairpin)

[fallow breach]

By lap 11, Norris and Verstappen have passed Piastri (he jumped them both but he had hards on) and Leclerc is down to P5.

okay never fucking mind

spun out.

restart time.

[floral apex]

looks like only 5 of the 2025 liveries will be added to my save in 2033: Red Bull, VCARB, Ferrari, Merc and Aston
Alpine will wait because they're still with Orlen
Sauber is Audi so that doesn't make sense
Haas is with Toyota and I kinda want to keep that
Williams is with BMW so that will wait
McLaren I want to keep the new driver number style

[fallow breach]

running well, then a very slight excursion sends me pirouetting.

through go the mclarens, through go the Ferraris and through goes Doohan

Doohan P14

[fallow breach]

there's 16 laps in the imola race on short why did i put 15

[floral apex]

they swapped positions

[fallow breach]

Veikko Virtanen has a 3 second time penalty for corner cutting.

(i really dont know why tho it only happened twice)

he'll probably end up P3.

[floral apex]

f1 game penalty system moment

[fallow breach]

"Veikko Virtanen takes the chequered flag, but upon application of the penalty, Lando Norris wins the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix."

istg this game has it out for me

drs issues in quali in bahrain
drs issue in the race in Australia
straight suffering in japan
unjust penalty in imola

(track limit penalty rules on the game really are flawed)

but hey.. first podium that isn't a win for veikko?

Virtanen should have won by 0.261 seconds

Top 10:

1. Lando Norris (McLaren) WINNER
2. Max Verstappen (McLaren) +0.704
3. Veikko Virtanen (Euterpe-DSB) +2.739 [ 3s]

W Virtanen with 67 Titles

[fallow breach]

i obviously mean the order in the titles so far on points

but like i can see the misconception

three podium spots taken up by someone other than virtanen or the mclarens.
2 belong to yuki
1 belongs to fred vesti.

yet oscar piastri is still ahead of both of them by 1 point.

the power of consistency.

[keen brook]

I like how aarava made a video about the new patch and it starts with a rant about Codies.

[fallow breach]

literally in the same mind as us first thought when frontier announce the update is "codies should have this but it doesnt"

[keen brook]

Well, I mean he has a good point, they always said it's not possible, F1 wouldn't allow that, well, obviously they do.

[fallow breach]

they have no excuse

[keen brook]

So the issue must be the game itself.

[fallow breach]

a literal f1 affiliated game is doing these things

[keen brook]

or the developers being lazy

[floral apex]

"F1 wouldn't allow it"
Frontier: allow us to introduce ourselves

[keen brook]

even better, an official licensed F1 game

[fallow breach]

f1 where the f stands for frontier fr

no driver has 4 for 4 podiums but virtanen has a podium every race he's finished this season

[keen brook]

So if the license isn't the limiting factor, what is?

[fallow breach]

and that imola would be a win if it wasnt for the penalty system

[fallow breach]

here we go again ranting about the codies f1 game

[keen brook]

Codies, we need answers.

[floral apex]

EA made a wreck of Codies

[keen brook]

Frontier literally exposed Codies.

[fallow breach]

Next round is Canada

omg i've made virstanen3343 a character, should i make a hardcore vesti stan/virtanen hater??

[floral apex]

"virstanen" is that virtanen and verstappen or virtanen and vesti

[fallow breach]

the only thing Verstappen about the user is the number 33.

virstanen is virtanen with 'stan' shoved in the middle by adding an s

[floral apex]

[fallow breach]

bro how can you like vesti and virtanen

thats like supporting drake and kendrick

pick a side

triple v goes hard tho

if only there wasnt some sort of longstanding beef between two of them...

[keen brook]

Damn, what happened?

[edgy cradle]

discord thinks that in Poland it's 17+ but they've written in the ToS that it's 16+

and i don't have my passport currently to confirm

i mean

i will be of age to use discord in a month so even if they don't accept it now they must do in a month

[keen brook]

oh damn

[floral apex]

Poland is in fact 16+ so idk what drugs discord is on

There is no country that discord says is 17+

[keen brook]

[floral apex]

is it an EU thing that makes it 16+

[fallow breach]

corner cutting merchant

[fallow breach]

(veikko got penalised after 2 corner cuts)

both at the chicane at the start of s3

[floral apex]

basically me but by complete accident cuz im either turning in too early or going too fast and going wide

[fallow breach]

literally the same way those cuts happened

premature turn in

[floral apex]

Jeddah T11 is a very interesting corner
Cuz there are points where you can get away with cutting it, but at other poimts it gives a warning

he hasnt really done anything too severe

other than almost beating max up

all veikko has done:

• try to fight verstappen after he sent him off in Australia in 2031
• threatening vesti over the radio after he spun him out in china 2032
• more verbal abuse + pushing and shoving vesti in parc fermé post-china 2032

Bearman could be replaced after British GP, sources say.

This comes after a string of undesirable finishes from Bearman, as while his teammate Veikko Virtanen leads the World Championship, as he has the entire season thus far, Bearman himself is just 12th with 10 points.

2. Yuki Tsunoda +0.517 [+7p]
3. Lando Norris +0.698 [+6p]
4. Max Verstappen +1.061 [+5p]

6. Alexander Albon +7.365 [+3p]
7. EDSB Oliver Bearman +8.366 [+2p]
8. Ayumu Iwasa +8.852 [+1p]

Time for quali.

Virtanen takes GP pole, and is looking set for the perfect weekend at Austria again. The man to beat continues on the charge.

Couple of shock high qualifyings, such as Doohan P4, Bearman P6, Sargeant P8 and Boschung P13.

[fallow breach]

the tradition continues

Tsunoda and Fittipaldi have grid penalties and start P18 and P20.

[quaint hare]

only 3 drivers who are currently in a different team

wait. I think update 1.11 for manager 24 is out now

[keen brook]

It is.

[quaint hare]

ill play it once i get home

in. 40 minutes

[fallow breach]

Actually i don't have time to complete the Austria race

[keen brook]

I'm right now setting up a 2025 grid.

Why is it so hard to find who are the head of aeros and sporting directors?

Like for Red Bull you only find Wheatley who isn't their sporting director anymore.

[lyric scaffold]

does anyone know where to choose a specific “profile pic” for a created driver in f1 manager? (if there’s even how to) cuz i only found a thing that randomizes it

[primal drift]

you can't

[lyric scaffold]

ah ok

thanks for telling me lol

[dim skiff]

Very interesting lineup.

[atomic crypt]

Opposite sides of the grid

[quaint hare]

opinions? (Usa one is Vegas)

[atomic crypt]

this only makes me want f1 manager 24 more 🕊️

[quaint hare]

get it. The new update literally makes it perfecg and a million times better than ea

and its on sale rn

[red wadi]

Time for RD1704’s return to F1M

[quaint hare]

wtf is this denmark flag

i used the 2025 grid with the 16 race season and in my team i put Mick and Kmag

[red wadi]

How do you enter the editor?

[quaint hare]

create a team

new career

or at the end of a season

i think

[red wadi]

New career didn’t work for me

Indeed needs to be a CAT

[quaint hare]

Yes

i created the best driver and he costs a whopping 117 mil

[keen brook]

OK, the 2025 grid is done apart from Red Bull's sporting director.

How is it possible that from a top team it's impossible to find out who that is but even from teams like Sauber or Haas you can find the staff?

Like the only thing you find is Jonathan Wheatley but he obviously can't be Red Bull's sporting director and Kick Sauber team principal at the same time.

Or no, TP is Binotto, but whatever he is then at Kick Sauber now.

He can't be at Red Bull at the same time.

So they must have a new one and Red Bull is a far to good team that this is unknown.

[floral apex]

ooh okay

so the two DLCs are indeed livery packs

and one of them is historical liveries which adds on to the deluxe version's liveries

hm your team can have an actual nationality now

[keen brook]

oh nice

[floral apex]

ok the new livery packs add a lot to the replayability
now i have so many more livery options for the future

[keen brook]

Red Bull's sporting director is literally the only thing I can't find out.

[red wadi]

Mine is from Belgium iirc

I race in the Swedish colours

[floral apex]

so the new historical liveries are if i'm correct, Lotus 1963, Minardi 2000, McLaren 2021 (Gulf), Renault 2004 and Arrows 1995

[red wadi]

Goated af line up

[keen brook]

Ido Cohen is back.

[red wadi]

I can finally use Ido in the console version

[red wadi]

Yup

[keen brook]

I'm just setting up the entire 2025 grid.

including staff

[quaint hare]

yeah i dont give a shit about staff

also. One guy reminded me of seb. So i made him a custom driver. Just on drugs. 100 rated. 18 years

[keen brook]

And well, it fails at the point of Red Bull's sporting director, you can literally find out everything apart from that.

[floral apex]

i had to do some research on these past liveries to find them

[red wadi]

PER USES HIS TEAM BOSSES NUMBER

[quaint hare]

the thing is i made most op team except i gave myself a slower car and mick schumacher

[red wadi]

My team is cold

[floral apex]

ohh okay

[red wadi]

They use 84 and 88

[floral apex]

so the mclaren 2021 livery is actually their 2021 gulf livery

[keen brook]

Well, I guess I have no other choice than letting it vacant then.

[red wadi]

Imma send the grid in a hot sec

Accidentally signed Max as an affiliate

[keen brook]

I was surprised when I saw Gary Gannon left Haas and joined Aston to be Stroll's new race engineer.

oh zhou's still here

[quaint hare]

our car shouldnt be in the points. And mick is already p5

AND SETS THE FASTEST LAP

[keen brook]

OK, how do I make 2025 car performance now?

Only 5 settings make it tricky.

[quaint hare]

Mick is going ham

P8-P3 in 5 laps

[fallow breach]

DAMN

Mick must think he's become Michael 🔥

[floral apex]

gotta wait for friday for that

[quaint hare]

Mate hulk stays p3

[floral apex]

or just take the car performance at the end of 2024 and base it off that

[keen brook]

Yeah, I base it off 2024 wcc.

[fallow breach]

Nicooo Huuuuuulkenberg

[keen brook]

But how do I with only 1 to 5 dots make sure McLaren has the best car and Kick Sauber the worst?

[quaint hare]

WTF

mate

[keen brook]

I'm btw on the console version right now.

[quaint hare]

Vettel. P13-p4 in 10 laps

[red wadi]

I have made a grave mistake

[red wadi]

Yes

CHRISTENSEN YOU GOAT

We’ve had a 1-2 in every race 🥶

[quaint hare]

wtf was that

Sainz slammed into ocon. Then ocon got a mechanical fault. I click on replay for ocon mechanical fault AND OCON IS FUXKING SPINNING

[floral apex]

and the zandvoort sprint is under way!

[edgy cradle]

what

zandvoort sprint

[dim skiff]

"You spin me-"

[floral apex]

looks like ocon takes a pit lane start after his crash in SQ1

[edgy cradle]

is this a feature of the new update?

[quaint hare]

„right round baby“

[floral apex]

coulstock gets a 5 second penalty for colliding with sasaki

and we have a VSC on lap 13/24
Sasaki has crashed at T3

[floral apex]

changing sprints is a thing yeah but i made this calendar long before the update

[fallow breach]

1-2??

[quaint hare]

Hell yeah. Vettel p2

from like 7th or so

[red wadi]

Yeah we had one for every race

I forgot to make my car 1 star

Bc iirc I made every car 1 star😭

[red wadi]

Or 3 or smth, can’t remember

[floral apex]

should do that before you start isrfasting all over again

[red wadi]

Yeah, I’m restarting

[floral apex]

Lawson gets a puncture at the end of the race

Abbi Pulling wins the Zandvoort Sprint

average F1M AI tire management on inters

0%??

[floral apex]

yeah he had a puncture

happens more often during wet races

i removed the rename mod also cuz that was based on the older version which means missing text in this version

Pelley 🔥🔥🔥

[floral apex]

the only question is how well can pelley hold up against the sunwests

lol i was watching the onboard and i just tried to hit control to look back like i would on f1 23

well that was expected

yeah that VCARB's got no pace in it right now
he's dropped to P5 behind Pourchaire and Piastri

the 4 Ps

and hes just been passed by an aston

zandvoort really is small
these pit boxes are so close to each other

Fournier gets a 5 second penalty for colliding with Doohan

yeah that VCARB is a solid midfielder
Romeo just has really strong one lap pace

pourchaire just got a puncture

Abbi Pulling wins the Dutch GP!

Verstappen P2, Piastri P3, Antonelli P4

Tsunoda P5 and Pellegrini can only manage P6

Bearman, Sainz, Sasaki and Ocon round out the points

then its Lawson, Albon, Pourchaire, Russell, Maloney, Hauger, Vesti, Coulstock, Iwasa, Doohan, Fournier and Stroll

[keen brook]

I'm now going through my saves changing the nationalities of the generated drivers to the in-game ones now as the site I used gave quite some different nationalities to the drivers.

From the 1st 4 generated drivers 2 are Canadians lol.

Only 1 had the correct nationality so far.

[quaint hare]

the first time i play f1 manager 24 on pc now and wow. the graphics are insane

NOO

HULK CRASH

had potential for a podium

[floral apex]

lmao my team is so good my constructor's results score is higher than the max

oh the F2/F3 results screen is fixed

with the new built-in calendar editor it also fixed the F2/F3 results screen bug

[quaint hare]

HELL YEAH

FIRST WIN

VETTEL WINS

IN IMOLA

And mick gets p12...

3 races

[floral apex]

oh damn Slovakia for some reason isn't a nationality option on the in-game editor

[quaint hare]

simulating a race is so broken

THIS IS MONACO

[floral apex]

so i started a new save

i've put lawson at VCARB, doohan at Alpine, bearman at Ferrari and leclerc at Red Bull

[primal drift]

damn

OG Sunwest

[floral apex]

ima remove all of my "future seasons" mods

[lyric scaffold]

My career lineup:

Russell x Hamilton
Leclerc x Sainz
Piastri x Norris
Verstappen x Alonso
Zhou x Gasly
Albon x Ocon
KMag x Iwasa
Hulk x Bortoleto
Ollie x Pourchaire
Brawn GP: Pérez x Bottas

I’ll be managing McLaren, none of the irl teams have a 5/5 car, only Brawn
But Brawn has no money and no facilities

[keen brook]

Why have they even added the setting to change the nationality of the team if it gets reset to UK anyway?

[lyric scaffold]

Ferrari: 3/5
McLaren: 3/5
Red Bull: 4/5
Merc: 3/5
Alpine: 2/5
Williams: 2/5
Haas: 1/5
RB: 1/5
Sauber: 1/5
Aston: 4/5

[floral apex]

it takes a few attempts to get in but itll be set

[lyric scaffold]

it resets?

[floral apex]

i managed to set mine to Canada after a few attempts in my first save

ima get all of the 2025 livery mods

[keen brook]

It still doesn't work for me.

It still goes back to UK every time.

Tried to changed it multiple times to different nationalities, tried to do other changes as well, even tried to save with Germany set and not leaving the menu, it still went back to UK.

[floral apex]

goddamn what are these sponsor options

[keen brook]

Ah, I loaded the save now, now it's set to Germany.

The nationality of the team literally is the only indication our team is German.

[frank plinth]

First win for Toyota in F1.

[floral apex]

Lol my F1M runs at 400+ FPS on thr loading screen right up to when the F1 intro sequence plays

i just changed my sponsor mod so my other save is gonna be a bit messed up but itll work

i got both AMD and Nvidia as sponsors lol

oh they also added a thing where you can see your actual current sponsors on the stickers screen

[keen brook]

Btw the 2025 rookies got new ratings.

And Kimi is available now from the get go.

Also Franco got a new rating.

[eager sonnet]

what's the mod for those sponsors???

[floral apex]

oh thats nice

[primal drift]

???

[floral apex]

i guess its 300th race start as Alpine

not counting the predecessor Team Enstone

signing estie bestie was an elaborate plan to get @keen brook to support my team

[keen brook]

Now I'm a Sunwest fan.

Good that I setup now a 2025 grid on the PS version to do the same again on the PC version tomorrow whilst watching pre-season testing.

[floral apex]

time for bahrain

Lawson and Bearman make their full-time debuts in 2024 instead of 2025

well i'm an idiot
i just loaded a save instead of saving it

[keen brook]

Well, I guess I'll 1st do the randomized grid save I did on the PC version.

There are some really funny line-ups.

[floral apex]

fortunately nothing was lost as i had already saved the livery and race suit and the past save i loaded was just before sponsor negotiations

[keen brook]

Then I created my own team, randomized it as well and left it for Haas.

[keen brook]

That resulted then in Aston having a vacant seat.

Which they filled with Piastri who otherwise would've been a free agent.

I chose Haas as they had the most interesting line-up from the teams that didn't have any vacant spot.

I avoided these as I wanted to see how the AI fills this gaps.

[floral apex]

breaking news: our car is ass

ok im gonna have to fix my livery after bahrain
some sponsor placements got changed

these are the 2024 driver lineups in my new sunwest save

[keen brook]

Pérez sacked and Leclerc moved to Red Bull

[floral apex]

ok thats nice

all of the driver numbers are correct

Bearman has 87, Lawson has 40 and Doohan has 7

[quaint hare]

hmmm

[vernal cave]

2021 scenario=Stroll cooking

[floral apex]

okay how slow are these AIs going in free practice

our car is ranked like 17th or something

[quaint hare]

only pracfise 2

[keen brook]

Well, if Ollie has the 87 Liam should have the 30 then.

[floral apex]

esteban has locked up in what i believe is turn 14

oh 13

turn 13

yep game confirms its t13

ok that result was expected

Eliminated in Bahrain Q1: Tsunoda, Gasly, Ocon, Bottas, Doohan, Zhou

yeah this is gonna be a long season

double Q1 elimination

which is pretty realistic for a brand new team

Bahrain Q2 eliminations were Russell, Alonso, Stroll, Hulkenberg, Sargeant and Magnussen

Q3 was a dominant Red Bull 1-2

0.3 ahead of Sainz in the Ferrari

[deft bridge]

Cursed lineup

Bono followed Lewis to McLaren

[floral apex]

Guess Frontier put his 2023 number instead of his 2024 one for some reason
Cuz he uses 40 in my save

This new sunwest save will of course have a Rise to Glory style to it
I've set my car performance to 2 but with max finances and lvl 3 facilities

[lyric scaffold]

Won the f2 championship in f124

[floral apex]

So are you going to sign with ferrari

[keen brook]

interesting

I don't remember exactly the settings I started with, but it definitely was worst car performance.

[floral apex]

I'll hopefully get through a few more seasons before winning the first title

[lyric scaffold]

nope

[quaint hare]

Generated names are so weird

Klaus Krause

wilhelm jäger

the most german german names

Bro i just randomly got 2 germsn stefans back to back

[fallow breach]

im randomising the team lineups and omfg i got this gem

The 2024 sauber lineup are at Ferrari
Hulk and Sargeant at McLaren
Albon and Ocon at Aston, and Albon has Bono as his engineer

Ricciardo and Alonso at Alpine, with Will Joseph being RE for Alonso

Piastri and Norris at Williams

Checo and Carlos at VCARB

Yukierre as teammates at Sauber

Russell and Leclerc at Haas

And Hamilton and Magnussen as Merc teammates

[deft bridge]

I got this lmao

Also Bono followed Hamilton to McLaren

[fallow breach]

What the fuck is this dream team bro 😭

Fernando and Lewis teammates again
GP AND BONO AS ENGINEERS

[keen brook]

I got Carlando at Alpine.

and also Kick Sauber with Cordeel and Hadjar as line-up and 5/5 performance

[fallow breach]

if hamilton had replaced charles instead:

[quaint hare]

Aarava got Lando and Sargent at Ferrari

[floral apex]

i opted not to try out the randomization thing and just started a fresh new save
i dont think i even changed the regs

[celest nymph]

I need to figure out the ultimate calendar possible in F1 manager 24

[floral apex]

well i probably removed the fastest lap point but i forgot

[keen brook]

I did that in the 2025 grid I set up.

Also maximum gearbox limit as that's not a thing anymore.

[fallow breach]

I was watching aarav's video

[keen brook]

and of course the 2025 calendar

And moved the Sprint from Austria to Spa.

[fallow breach]

how does one

[keen brook]

So everything possible matches the 2025 season.

Max with Checo's race engineer

[fallow breach]

bruh max verstappen, 100 mil balance, best facilities, but minimum performance??

[keen brook]

Well, they spent everything into Max.

[quaint hare]

its aston martin

what do you expect??

[fallow breach]

Checo's got Lando's engineer and theyre at Alpine in this randomisation

GP's with Bottas at Sauber

[primal drift]

the random function hasn't given me anyone outside of the initial grid

[floral apex]

its also nice to get back to the start of the game, esp in a version where there wont be driver market chaos in the first few seasons

and we have a much worse start compared to my other save

i mean 17-19 in quali

also my actual team name in the game is "AMD Sunwest Racing" lol

[quaint hare]

I DID RANDOMIZE ONCE

max with stroll at haas

lewis with alonso at williams

Leclecr and Zhou at Red bull

[floral apex]

oldest team on the grid

[quaint hare]

HELL YEAH

Nico at red bull

haas

wtf did you do???

SAUBER????

bro. I randomized again and holy shit

riccardo and perez at red bull

[floral apex]

the forbidden red bull lineup

[quaint hare]

verstappen and norris at mercedes

PIASTRI AT ALÖINE

the typos are cettig worse

[quaint hare]

i got a worse one

Max and Lando

McLaren

[floral apex]

that lowkey feels like a transfer that would actually happen

[quaint hare]

ima do a randomization with generated stuff

[floral apex]

i'll still rp ford rbpt in this new save once i get to 2026

[quaint hare]

Please kill me

what

the

hamilton and charles at haas

[floral apex]

bruhh

[quaint hare]

stroll at ferrari

[floral apex]

i'll write into the lore of BMW entering with Williams in 26
Haas Toyota in 25

[quaint hare]

Max with Bono

and his teammate is antonelli

at ferrari

[floral apex]

chances are i'll try Esteban and Yuki for 24 and 25 and then look into another lineup for 26

[quaint hare]

new hardest challange btw. Ai teams: 100 drivers and staff member. 100 mil start. Max car and facilities.

Your team: lowest possible drivers and staff. Like 2 mil Start. Lowest level facilities and car

[floral apex]

isn't that just kick sauber simulator

[quaint hare]

also. Every race is a sprint race, 1 of each engine component, top 6 get points. All equal air tunnel time and stuff. Least possible money gain for 11th

[quaint hare]

no cuz sauber atleast had good drivers

[floral apex]

oh so kick sauber simulator but it's formula two in 1966

[quaint hare]

average Aarava challenge:

[fallow breach]

vesti and Virtanen as teammates

[floral apex]

i addded the "classic 5" lore drivers to my new save

[fallow breach]

[floral apex]

also when i made virtanen i accidentally made him Swiss

and Pelley was made Monegasque cuz Slovakia wasn't an option
i fixed both in the save browser tho

[atomic crypt]

Piastri got sacked for Hamilton and I just now found him halfway through the season 😭

[fallow breach]

Damnn Bearman in Q3

[fallow breach]

(This is basically just a 2025 sim, no customisation, except I for some reason have got key staff like GP, Wheatley, etc)

First race in the books, Lando wins in Australia, Max P2 and Liam P3

HOW THE HELL DID VEIKKO FINISH P11

ON THE LEAD LAP??

Gasly, Kimi and Yuki DNF

[fallow breach]

Vesti P14

Also somehow Albon got P10

We're called 'P11 DPM' but we're 7th

WE GOT 20 WHOLE PIT STOP POINTS WTF

VESTI'S CREW HAD THE 2ND FASTEST STOP

Next is China

i've done it, same race result at the top, lando/max/liam podium

im gonna go back to the f124 save with veikko

complete that austrian gp from earlier

Virtanen has a 25 point lead in the championship after winning the Sprint earlier.

He continues his momentum with pole for the main race.

Bearman is P6.

[kindred marten]

Guys I need help

Is there a way for me to still play as the official f1 teams even if I create a team

[atomic crypt]

Piastri P4 from P13
It was a very good idea getting him

[floral apex]

In the F1 game, no
In F1 Manager, they just added that feature

[fallow breach]

wonder how long it takes for me to get kicked out of the team in f1m

[fallow breach]

Oh btw, insanely close P9-13 in the WDC 🔥

Bearman 18
Ocon 17
Hulkenberg 17
Albon 17

too lazy to write all that again, got timeouted because of it, probably due to the long length of the message lol

the video i mentioned

Championship standings

[fallow breach]

wait can you get timeouted for long messages?

[floral apex]

Imagine the commentary around a driver named Ferrari who drives for McLaren

[fallow breach]

i've been timeouted in this server once over a bit of lore i created (leclercgate)

[floral apex]

I've only been timed out for trying to use # to format a message

Once was an accident cuz i wanted a message to replicate a channel name

[fallow breach]

i think it was a word choice in the verbal interaction behind the scenes
i self censored the swears (although i dont think they contribute to timeouts, that was just a choice for the transcript) but i think it was something to do with the way Leclerc tried to describe DP73

[floral apex]

when the lore gets so bad the server itself has to stop it

[fallow breach]

when DP73* gets so bad the server has to stop the description

[floral apex]

i'm just impressed they didnt fire him as a result of that incident

[fallow breach]

i ended up changing the original word to anarchist

[fallow breach]

fr like how did it still take another year after it 💀

[floral apex]

Apparently the team board was like "we have no expectatilns for this team, we just like being lapmarkers"

[fallow breach]

funny thing tho, the board cited the fallout from Leclercgate as a contributing factor to firing him.

how did dp73 survive after Leclercgate (Britain-Hungary 2029) all the way until Belgium 2030??

[fallow breach]

you edited to add the word 'being' (i think)

but didnt correct the horrendous spelling mistake/fast typing error expectatilns??

[floral apex]

nha i dcedide not to do that

czu why nkt

are you reddawn on canadas account

[floral apex]

lmao

[floral apex]

they had just one more straw after that
god knows what the last straw was

[fallow breach]

i really dont know

maybe the abomination that was japan 2030 when roy nissany and arthur leclerc got a podium, Nissany winning with FL??

but if that was the last straw

surely he'd have been gone sooner than hungary to Belgium??

[rare robin]

time for another test..

i wonder what should i fill these up with

[fallow breach]

Im also making a randomised save

(For Italy, round 1 is Monza, round 23 is Imola.

For US, round 3 is Vegas, round 8 is Miami and round 10 is COTA)

[floral apex]

So close to making the calendar an italian sandwich

[fallow breach]

round 9 is qatar, round 14 is bahrain

sprint finale is kinda cursed ngl

and australia for that??

[floral apex]

Sprint at Jeddah tho 💀

[fallow breach]

vegas being the first us race is funny

also monza season opener?? hello??

[floral apex]

that seems fairly normal... in like 1965

[fallow breach]

well we're in 2024 (in this game obviously)

interesting

27 points per gp and for Australia thats gonna be 54

The teams:
Verstappen/Alonso
Perez/Piastri
Hamilton/Gasly
Leclerc/Magnussen
Norris/Albon
Sainz/Stroll
Russell/Ocon
Tsunoda/Bottas
Hulkenberg/Zhou
Ricciardo/Sargeant
Frontier Racing (yes i left that as default) have Evelyn Newman (a randomly generated driver) and Cordeel.

i made Frontier have OP staff, max funding, max performance, but their drivers are mid

[rare robin]

turns out.. randomizing the lineups also randomizes the starting conditions

[fallow breach]

Piastri () wins in Monza from Norris () and Perez ()

Piastri had pole and the win (26pts) while Sainz had FL but DNFed.

Frontier had 8-10, Newman got P8 and Cordeel P10.

Next round is in Spa.

[floral apex]

VCARB win doesnt exist, it cant hurt you
VCARB win:

[fallow breach]

VCARB front row lockout:

[floral apex]

VCARB, Haas, and Sauber in the top 10

Since when was checo good

[fallow breach]

afaik thats like the pecking order

i didn't take time to look at the lineups and setups, i just hit random and moved onto the calendar

[floral apex]

I mean looking at it its still pretty much top drivers at the top

Oscar, Max, Lando, Carlos, Fernando

[fallow breach]

yeah, i mean you got lance stroll in p4, logan sargeant in p9, amaury cordeel in p10...

[floral apex]

Checo and Lance are anomalies

[fallow breach]

WHAT ABOUT LOGAN

[floral apex]

yeah i guess him too

[fallow breach]

"checo is an anomaly" bro qualified p2 in monza behind oscar as well, now he's on pole for spa

[floral apex]

he's not supposed to be good tho

[fallow breach]

fair

[floral apex]

Or maybe thats just specific to red bull idk

[fallow breach]

btw i have no real intention to incorporate evelyn into the lore

i might at some point but idk yet

[floral apex]

Checo Perez: only choosing to underperform specifically at Red Bull

The Central Five of lore drivers: Pellegrini, Virtanen, Cambleforth, McKinnon and Christensen

[fallow breach]

and checo wins in spa, in a vcarb 1-2!

literally 2023 all over again except the other red bull owned team

[floral apex]

the lore: "Virtanen finds a GF"

[fallow breach]

i was debating whether to make Veikko have a gf when i created him

damn evelyn p12 and amaury p13 in spa

[fallow breach]

albon got p3 in the aston

hamilton scored a point for ewd bull!

wait

red bull

blindly typing

[floral apex]

Red Bull is now the second team

Should call VCARB Visa Cash App Red Bull now

[fallow breach]

frontier has 5x as many points as red bull

VCARB have 85
Aston have 51
Haas have 30
Sauber have 27
McLaren have 6
Frontier have 5
Red Bull have 1

[floral apex]

Yeah they literally swapped roles lmao

[fallow breach]

im not too concerned with how frontier do tbh but i'll still kinda try to manage ig

and by that i mean do some manufactures of parts when stock runs low probably

vegas time

FP1:
Iwasa in Oscar's car, P1
Pourchaire and Maloney in at Sauber, P3 and P14 respectively
Not affiliates but Newman and Cordeel go 7-9
Drugovich in Albon's car goes P10

FP2, Norris top for Aston; Newman P7, Cordeel P19

FP3, Perez top (RB 1-2), Newman P5, Cordeel P16

Quali - Perez on pole again

Newman P13
Cordeel P17

Perez wins in Vegas from Albon and Alonso.

[rare robin]

i had no idea what to name it

[floral apex]

Kick Haas ok that sounds wierd

[dim skiff]

Volvo bus. /J

Maserati, I guess?

[floral apex]

if its a sim save backmarker volvo bus might be more accurate lmao

[fallow breach]

firstname lastname

[floral apex]

This reminded me of that time in an australian gp where the tv graphics showed "lastname" and "lastname" for a battle between raikkonen and ricciardo

[rare robin]

even in this universe

we still can't stop verstappen

also the perfomance seems to have flipped..

VCARB now have the fastest car

alongside haas and williams

[fallow breach]

it seems vcarb, sauber and haas are the top in mine

[lyric scaffold]

LMFAO
gotta try to make it to f1 irl and drive for McLaren just to make this real (100% not happening but dreaming is free)

[lyric scaffold]

maybe it wasn’t because of the message length and yes because of something else, it was just a guess

[floral apex]

"And Ferrari in the McLaren gets past the Ferrari of Leclerc!"

[rare robin]

hamilton vs verstappen

[fallow breach]

imagine a descendant of bruce mclaren gets to f1 and races for like williams

[floral apex]

"McLaren in the Williams fighting with the McLaren of Ferrari!"
fans: wut.

or "McLaren gets past Ferrari!"
fans: "so who passed who?

[lyric scaffold]

LMFAO

[floral apex]

doing the first race in my new f1 manager save now

the other Sunwest save is put on hold while i go through this new save

just got a 4 second stop with a pit stop error

Tsunoda's up to P12 and Ocon's up to P14
we have no chance of points tho

like i can't even be mad right now
this is fully expected for a team of our position

and ocon has been lapped

Tsunoda P13, Ocon P14 after the Bahrain GP

It's a Red Bull 1-2 with Max winning and Charles in P2

Sainz rounds out the podium

sorry what

[floral apex]

and we won't get upgrades until Suzuka

[floral apex]

ok yeah i can confirm i disabled the fastest lap point for my new save

Leclerc only scored 18 points in Bahrain while having fastest lap

and i also increased the power unit allocations: 5 engines and gearboxes + 3 ERS

other than the driver lineups nothing else was changed

yuki set a 1:31 on the dot

yesss great job esteban
strong second lap saves him from a Q1 knockout in Jeddah

Out in Jeddah Q1: Bottas, Magnussen, Sargeant, Ricciardo, Zhou, Doohan

but Q3 is 100% off the table

oh my god Esteban you're the goat

Out in Jeddah Q2: Stroll, Bearman, Albon, Tsunoda, Gasly, Hamilton

Ocon put up another strong lap to make it to Q3 letsgooo

Esteban Ocon sets a team best P8!

ill do the race tomorrow cuz i wanna see if i can catch the last hour or two of pre season testing if i can even do that

just looked at the upcoming race forecasts

that's three straight races of heavy rain.

[keen brook]

Silverstone season finale is actually crazy.

The cost cap is only 125 million lol.

And there's the maximum of points available.

fastest lap point, pole point and double points for the final race

nevermind

not the maximum points

Points system is 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Gearbox limit is 4, ERS 3 and engine 6.

[quaint hare]

[keen brook]

I randomized everything.

[quaint hare]

[keen brook]

[keen brook]

[keen brook]

Wait, can I throw the save file into the database editor whilst being in the save?

[quaint hare]

[keen brook]

OK, I've saved it in case it should crash.

[quaint hare]

[keen brook]

[quaint hare]
