He was a Race Director for Racedepartment's US Club and ran a popular assortment of racing for their members. He currently primarily races Assetto Corsa Competizione, but has also raced with Assetto Corsa, Automobolista 2, RaceRoom, and iRacing.

Instead of the popular triple screen setup, he races exclusively in VR using a Valve Index.

Saul relies on Mikes real world motorsport experience, and many aspects of the club have been simulated to be as close as possible to the real thing.
