    iRacing Week 13: Preparing for Season 2 Without Getting Demoted

    Comment on the show?..send me a text! Week 13 in iRacing has always been known for chaos, fun race combinations and experimental series. But this season something has changed. For the first time, more Week 13 races are now official, meaning your Safety Rating and iRating could be at risk before Season 2 even begins. In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson looks at how smart iRacers can use Week 13 as a pre-season testing week rather than a demolition derby. With the Season 2 schedule PDF now released, we explore how drivers can prepare early by learning difficult tracks, refining racecraft, and selecting the right series to focus on. Also in this episode, the iRacing Agony Uncle answers a listener question: How do you avoid license demotion during Week 13? We break down the safest strategies for protecting your Safety Rating while still improving your skills before the new season begins. If you want to start Season 2 stronger, smarter, and better prepared, this episode is for you. Topics covered • Why Week 13 is perfect for pre-season preparation  • How to use the Season 2 schedule PDF to plan your season  • The skills you should practice during Week 13  • Why more official races make Week 13 riskier than before  • How to avoid Safety Rating losses and license demotion  • iRacing Agony Uncle listener advice segment The Lone Road iRacing Podcast Hosted by Guy Robertson, this podcast explores the skills, mindset and strategy behind becoming a better iRacer.
