Race strategy isn’t about pit stops — it’s about patience.

This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we dive deep into race strategy across short tracks, normal road circuits, and long-form monsters like the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Using a real-world example from this week’s MX-5 races at the Nordschleife, we break down why so many races are effectively lost on Lap 1 — and how restraint, risk management, and emotional control can quietly gain you double-digit positions without a single overtake.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Lap 1 chaos is almost always self-inflicted
• Strategy differences between short tracks and long circuits
• When aggression helps — and when it destroys your race
• How emotional driving kills results
• Why “doing nothing” is sometimes the fastest strategy of all

If you’ve ever wondered why your pace doesn’t match your finishing positions — this episode is for you.

Every new iRacing season starts with optimism — and often ends in frustration.

In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy reflects on Season 4 2025, analysing over 200 race starts, where iRating was gained and lost, and how mental damage from weak weeks can quietly derail performance.

This episode also sets the foundation for Season 1 2026, covering:

• How to start a new iRacing season positively
• Why Week 1 results don’t define your season
• How to manage weak tracks without losing confidence
• The mental side of consistency and control

If you’re serious about improving on iRacing — this episode is for you.

In this explosive episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we dive into one of the most heated topics in sim racing: Safety Rating.

But this isn’t another “SR is broken” rant.
Oh no.
Today, we’re looking at 10 controversial, outrageous, and surprisingly logical ideas that could actually fix the Safety Rating system — and transform the iRacing experience for everyone.

From seasonal driving tests and public safety scorecards… to AI marshals, risk-based SR, class bans, safety co-op modes and more — this episode challenges the entire philosophy behind how iRacing measures behaviour and punishes bad driving.

Whether you agree, disagree, or rage-quit halfway through…
You’ll definitely have something to say after this one.
