🏁 Does iRacing have too many cars and championships, but not enough drivers to fill the grids?

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 7 of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast!

This week, Guy Robertson investigates one of the most interesting challenges facing iRacing: why do some championships attract hundreds of thousands of race starts while others struggle to fill a grid?

From the hugely popular Mazda MX-5 and GT3 championships to quieter series featuring the Radical, Renault Clio and historic racing machinery, we're asking whether iRacing's incredible variety is also spreading its community too thinly.
