    iRacing: Why Is Lap 1 Always a Sh*t Show?

    Comment on the show?..send me a text! Why does lap one in iRacing always feel chaotic? In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we break down one of the most frustrating and universal experiences in sim racing: lap one carnage. From cold tyres and adrenaline mistakes to skill spread and divebomb culture, we explore the real reasons why Turn 1 incidents happen so often — and more importantly, what you can actually do to survive them. You’ll learn:  • Why lap one chaos is predictable  • Racecraft habits that protect your Safety Rating  • How experienced iRacers quietly gain positions  • Smart mindset shifts that stop iRating yo-yoing  • What iRacing could do to improve lap one behaviour Plus, in this week’s iRacing Agony Uncle, we answer a brilliant rookie question: Should you run Sports Cars and Formula in parallel, or focus on one discipline early? If you're new to iRacing, struggling with lap one incidents, or trying to improve consistency, this episode is packed with practical advice you can apply immediately. 🎧 Follow the podcast for weekly iRacing insights  👕 Supported by Outlap — built for focused sim racers  📩 Got an Agony Uncle question?

    Why iRacers Can’t Race In Traffic (And How To Fix It)

    Comment on the show?..send me a text! This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we tackle one of the biggest missing skills in the entire service: Why iRacers can’t race in traffic. Most drivers can hotlap. Most drivers can qualify.  But the moment a race becomes side-by-side, nose-to-tail, or Lap 1 chaos in a big field… everything falls apart. Using this week’s Ringmeister series and the hidden Legacy gem — the Legacy Mazda Pro — we break down why traffic causes so many crashes, why the mindset of drivers becomes dangerous, and how YOU can become one of the rare iRacers who gains positions simply by staying calm and making smart decisions. In this episode you’ll learn: Why Ringmeister becomes a crashfest (especially Lap 1)The 4 dangerous types of traffic drivers (and how to survive them)What traffic skill actually isA complete “traffic survival system” you can use in any seriesHow to practice traffic skill without ruining racesWhy momentum cars like the Legacy Mazda Pro punish impatienceBecause here’s the truth:  You don’t lose iRating because you’re slow… you lose it because you can’t drive near people. 🎧 Follow the podcast for weekly episodes covering iRacing racecraft, mindset, strategy, and improving your consistency.

    iRacing’s Missing Fundamentals: What Rookie Class Isn’t Teaching New iRacers

    Comment on the show?..send me a text! Week 2 of Season 1, 2026 has exposed a growing problem in iRacing — missing fundamentals. After  racing FIA F4 at the Adelaide Street Circuit this week, one thing has become clear: this isn’t just early-season chaos. It’s a systemic issue rooted in how Rookie class prepares new iRacers for real racing conditions. In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson breaks down: Why Week 2 chaos is no longer “bad luck”What Rookie class actually teaches — and what it doesn’tWhy street circuits brutally expose missing racecraft fundamentalsThe growing rejoin and dive-bomb problemWhether demotion should exist as an educational toolHow broken practice culture feeds panic and poor decisionsWhat both new and experienced drivers can do right now to survive early-season wreckfestsThis episode isn’t about blaming rookies — it’s about improving race quality, protecting Safety Rating, and building better racers from the ground up. If you’ve lost iRating, been caught up in unnecessary incidents, or wondered why race standards feel worse each season, this one’s for you.
