    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?

    iRacing: The Invisible Skills of Good iRacers

    Comment on the show?..send me a text! Most iRacers focus on lap time. The best drivers focus on things you cannot see. In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we break down the invisible skills that separate consistent, high-iRating drivers from the crash-prone chaos merchants. We cover: Brake discipline and why “sending it” loses more races than it winsThrottle patience and how smooth exits quietly gain positionsMirror awareness without panicEmotional control and how to recover when things go wrongPlus, we launch our brand new iRacing Agony Uncle segment, where a listener asks: “How do I stop melting under pressure at race starts?” If you get nervous on the grid, overdrive on Lap 1, or struggle when the pressure is on, this episode gives you practical habits to calm your mind and improve your results in iRacing. This is racecraft, mindset, and performance — the stuff that actually builds iRating.

    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.

This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we’re breaking down what it really means to race smart — and why smart racing wins more iRating and championship points than aggressive driving ever will. In this episode I’m using real race footage as the background, so you can watch the decisions unfold in real time. ✅ Qualified P17 ✅ Finished P6 ✅ Gained 11 positions ✅ Scored 11 championship points ✅ Only 1x incidents No dive bombs. No chaos. No risky moves.  Just racecraft, patience, awareness, and smart decision-making — including how to: Survive Lap 1 carnageYield safely to faster carsSpot and avoid dive bombersManage backmarkers without throwing the race awayCollect points while others self-destructIf you’ve ever felt like you’re fast enough to climb but keep losing iRating to crashes, this episode is for you.  Proudly sponsored by Outlap 🧡 Focus.

    🎙️ The iRacing Iron Man Event

    Comment on the show?..send me a text! What happens when a race removes every safety net?  No pit strategy.  No tyre games.  No short laps to reset your focus. This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we break down what I’m calling the iRacing Iron Man Event — the Ray FF1600 taking on the Nürburgring Combined Gesamtstrecke Long. Nearly ten minutes per lap.  Three laps per race.  Over 500 corners negotiated without pause. This isn’t about raw pace — it’s about mental resilience, discipline, and sustained focus. In this episode, we explore: Why this combo feels more like mental endurance than racingHow the Ray FF1600 exposes bad habits instantlyWhy over 170 corners per lap changes how your brain worksA realistic race strategy for surviving all three lapsHow mental fatigue ruins Lap 3 for most driversHow iRacers should practice for long, no-reset racesWhy finishing clean matters more than winningIf you’re stuck in an iRating plateau, struggling with consistency, or looking for a race that genuinely forces growth — this episode is for you.

    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.
