| iRacing: When Should You Walk Away? | 14 Oct 2026 | 00:46:05 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! When should you walk away from an iRacing car or series? We’re often told that the secret to improving in iRacing is simple: choose a car, choose a series and stick with it. But what happens when it just isn’t working? In Season 5 Episode 6 of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we ask when perseverance is helping you become a better sim racer, and when it’s simply time to park the car and try something different. We look at driving styles, difficult cars, choosing the right iRacing series, the sunk-cost trap and why one terrible week of racing shouldn’t automatically make you quit. 🎉 We also celebrate a huge milestone: 25,000 podcast downloads! A massive thank you to everyone who listens, watches, writes into the show and has become part of our growing Lone Road community. 💓 THE PULSE 🧔 iRACING AGONY UNCLE How do you stay motivated after a bad week on iRacing? When the iRating disappears, Safety Rating takes a hammering and every race seems to go wrong, should you keep racing to win it back or stop, reset and return with a different mindset? 🏁 The Lone Road iRacing Podcast If you enjoy the show, subscribe, leave a comment and tell us: Have you ever walked away from a car or series because it simply wasn't working for you?

| iRacing: Have We Forgotten How to Race for Fun? | S5 E5 | 08 Oct 2026 | 00:35:02 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! Have we become so obsessed with iRating, Safety Rating and results that we've forgotten why we started sim racing in the first place? In Season 5 Episode 5 of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy asks a simple question: if iRating disappeared tomorrow, would you race differently? We look at iRacing's Track Day concept, mixed-class racing and the return of legacy cars as a possible way to put FUN back at the centre of sim racing. 🏁 Also in this week's PULSE: • iRacing Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta And in iRacing Agony Uncle, Steve races exclusively in VR and has switched OFF the virtual mirror for greater realism. There's just one problem... Sometimes he doesn't see the car alongside him. So where should we draw the line between immersion, realism and situational awareness? 🎙️ The Lone Road iRacing Podcast Whether you're a Rookie, an experienced iRacer or somewhere in the midfield, join us each week as we explore the racing, psychology, racecraft and community behind iRacing.

| What Are You Actually Racing For? | iRating, Britcar 24 & iRacing Week 13 Madness | S5 E4 | 01 Oct 2026 | 00:38:05 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! What are you actually racing for in iRacing? Is it iRating, Safety Rating, championship points, race wins, progression... or simply having fun? In Season 5 Episode 4 of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson looks at how the goals we set can completely change the way we race, the decisions we make and whether we know when it's time to Bank the Result. 🏁 Also this week: • Britcar 24 comes to the official iRacing Special Events calendar. What does 24 hours of GT3 and GT4 multiclass racing at Silverstone bring to the challenge? • Weather Rerolls bring more unpredictability to official racing. • Physics Islands might sound like an engineer's holiday destination, but the technology behind them could have a major impact on iRacing's future. • iRacing Agony Uncle: What happens when you become so obsessed with protecting your iRating that you're actually frightened to race? And finally... 🙈 The Week 13 blindfold driver. Yes. Someone apparently decided seeing the racetrack was an optional extra. Racecraft. Mindset. Performance. Prepare. Perform. Bank the Result.

| Caterham 420R on iRacing: What Went Wrong? | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:40:30 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! The Caterham 420R has arrived on iRacing, and Guy's first week with it has been quite a journey. Initially, the lightweight British racer was fantastic to drive... until it was time to accelerate out of a corner. Sudden oversteer and spins made the 420R a serious challenge, but following an iRacing update addressing the rear suspension, Guy's experience of the car changed dramatically. So what happened? In Season 5 Episode 3 of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we go back to where the Caterham story began, exploring the history of the Lotus Seven, Colin Chapman's lightweight philosophy, Caterham's takeover of the Seven and the development of the modern Caterham racing ladder. Then, in Pulse, we examine the 420R's iRacing launch. Why did a suspension issue make it into the release build? Should it have been discovered during testing? Was the Caterham genuinely improved by the update, or, as some drivers argue, has iRacing simply made it easier? And this week's iRacing Agony Uncle is for the newcomers: What are the must-have apps for a new iRacer? We look at Trading Paints, spotters, overlays, telemetry tools such as Garage61 and why filling your screen with data isn't necessarily going to make you a better racing driver. 🏁 This week: • Caterham 420R first impressions The Lone Road iRacing Podcast E-mail: theloneroadiracingpodcast@gmail.com YouTube Pod: https://youtu.be/iu48tp79gGk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 Project Apex: https://projectapex.uk Racecraft.

| SEASON 4 FINALE THE ROAD BEHIND. THE ROAD AHEAD | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:45:14 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! The chequered flag is out on Season 4 of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast! For our final episode of the season, we're looking both behind us and ahead. First, Guy dives into the brand-new iRacing August 2026 Development Update, exploring the latest cars, track updates, physics improvements, UI changes, multiclass developments, weather evolution, Career Mode and some of the technology that could shape the future of iRacing. Then we turn the car around. After 52 episodes, it's time to reflect on Season 4 of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast and some of the conversations, races and people that made this season memorable. From racecraft, iRating and Safety Rating struggles to confidence, intentional wrecking, rookie racing, tyre management, strategy, Lap 1 chaos and learning when to simply bank the result, Season 4 has increasingly become about more than outright speed. We also look back at the listener emails, Agony Uncle questions, interviews and community moments that have helped shape the podcast throughout the season. And finally... Season 5 is coming. ❤️ Stay right to the end of the episode because we're finishing Season 4 with the exclusive first reveal of the brand-new Season 5 intro. No Agony Uncle this week.

| iRacing: What Would You Tell Your Rookie Self? | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:50:34 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! If you could go back to the day you first joined iRacing and give your rookie self five minutes of advice, what would you say? After nearly six years on iRacing, Guy looks back at the lessons that turned out to matter most. And surprisingly, they're not really about finding more lap time. This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we explore the lessons experience teaches us that no setup guide or track tutorial can. Respect the other drivers. 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. Then in this week's iRacing Agony Uncle: How do I avoid the Lap 1 chaos? We discuss braking earlier, reading the cars further ahead, recognising dangerous situations before they develop, leaving yourself an escape route, being predictable and changing your opening-lap objective from gaining positions to simply: GET TO LAP 2. Whether you've been on iRacing for six days or six years, there's something in this episode for all of us.

| iRacing Licence Classes: Perception vs Reality | 20 Aug 2026 | 00:53:09 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! Does reaching A Class in iRacing actually mean you're a better, cleaner or more respectful racing driver? When we first start iRacing, it's easy to imagine the licence ladder as a progression in driving ability. Rookie is where the chaos happens, D Class is where we're learning, C and B Class are increasingly experienced, and A Class is where everyone surely knows what they're doing. But is that really what happens? In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson explores the difference between our perception of the iRacing licence system and the reality of racing across Rookie, D, C, B and A Class. We discuss why higher-licence drivers still make mistakes, why divebombs, poor judgement, frustration and road rage don't magically disappear at A Class, and why a lower licence doesn't necessarily mean poor racecraft. The big lesson? Race the driver. Not the badge. We also look at the difference between Safety Rating, licence class, iRating and genuine racecraft, and why none of them individually tells you everything about the person you're racing. This week's iRacing Agony Uncle "I can't stop divebombing!" A listener admits they've taken out several drivers by lunging into gaps and wants to change their racecraft. We explore practical ways to break the habit, including one simple question to ask before attempting an overtake: "If the other car disappeared right now, could I still make the corner?" Plus, during the mid-show break, Guy introduces Project Apex, the new home for The Lone Road Podcast and the beginning of something much bigger. Learn. Adapt. Improve.

| The iRacing Process: Why I Stopped Chasing Results | 13 Aug 2026 | 00:41:20 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! What if the fastest way to improve your iRating… is to stop chasing it? In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson looks back at the process that has taken his Formula iRating from just over 2,000 to more than 4,300, and why that same approach is now beginning to produce significant gains in Sports Cars. And this isn't theory. During one evening racing the Radical at the Nürburgring, three races produced three completely different outcomes: 🏁 P26 → P22 | -44 iRating after contact and an 8-minute repair Overall: +53 iRating But the most important thing wasn't the number. The process never changed. This episode explores how a Quality mindset can be applied to iRacing through consistency, repeatability, reproducibility and continuous improvement. We discuss: • Why one bad result doesn't necessarily mean you raced badly Perhaps the question isn't: “How do I gain iRating?” Perhaps it's: “How do I become the kind of driver who gains iRating over hundreds of races?” 🎙️ The Lone Road iRacing Podcast | Season 4 Episode 49 Subscribe for weekly iRacing discussion, racecraft, mindset, strategy and stories from the sim racing community.

In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson explores one of the most common but least talked about challenges in sim racing: the fear of racing online.

Comment on the show?..send me a text! Have you ever forgotten to add fuel before a race? Joined the grid... then disappeared before the green flag? Lost iRating because real life got in the way?

| iRacing's Price Rise... Fair or Foul? | 16 Jul 2026 | 00:47:37 | |
Comment on the show?..send me a text! Has iRacing finally become too expensive? For the first time in years, iRacing has announced an increase in subscription prices, sparking passionate debate throughout the sim racing community. Is the increase justified? Does iRacing still represent good value compared to other racing simulators and subscription-based games? Or is the cost of entry becoming too much for new drivers? In this week's episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson takes a balanced look at one of the biggest talking points in sim racing, exploring both sides of the debate without the social media shouting. This week's topics include: 🏁 iRacing's latest subscription price increase 🏁 Price vs Value - are they the same thing? 🏁 Comparing iRacing to Assetto Corsa, ACC, RaceRoom and other simulators 🏁 How does iRacing compare to subscription services like Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus and World of Warcraft? 🏁 Is the hobby becoming too expensive for new drivers? 🏁 What are we actually paying for? PLUS... 🎙️ The iRacing Agony Uncle Listener Steve asks why his GT4 Porsche loses grip towards the end of races. Is he destroying his tyres early? How do the fastest drivers manage tyre wear? And why is tyre management really about driving style rather than simply driving slower?
