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.
