Find smarter ways to overtake instead of relying on the divebomb.
Make good iRacing friends.
And above all... keep having fun.

We also look at our obsession with iRating and Safety Rating, why losing a position doesn't necessarily mean losing the battle, how racecraft develops with experience and why the people we meet can become one of the best parts of sim racing.
