    Comment on the show?..send me a text!Hey everyone, welcome back to The Lone Road iRacers Podcast! I'm your host, Guy Robertson — and today, we're digging into one of the biggest truths about iRacing that every sim racer eventually learns:Winning is hard. Really hard. No matter what car, what track, or what series you're in — getting that first-place finish takes a massive amount of work, patience, and, yeah — a little bit of luck too.In today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into two big ideas: First — why winning in iRacing is so difficult across every discipline. Whether you're racing GT cars, stock cars, sprint cars, or rallycross beasts, the challenges are real, and we're going to talk about what makes the path to victory so demanding.Then — we'll go even deeper. We're asking the spicy question: Which iRacing discipline is actually the hardest one to win in?Is it road racing with its precision demands? Is it ovals with their insane pack dynamics? Is it dirt with its wild, ever-changing surfaces? Or is it something even tougher?I'll break down the skill ceilings, the randomness, the racecraft battles, and I'll share which one I personally think takes the crown as the toughest battleground in iRacing.We've also got tips from listeners on how they finally got over the hump and grabbed that first win — and trust me, their advice is gold.So settle in, strap up, and let's hit the Lone Road — because today, we're talking about what it really takes to cross that finish line first.Shows e-mail: theloneroadiracerspodcast@gmail.comYouTube Vlog: https://youtu.be/GPueSZJYfKEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 10% off DRE: https://getdre.app/loneiracerSupport the show

Yep, it stings. But here's the good news: it's not the end of the road — not even close. In fact, it might just be the beginning of a big comeback. We're going to talk about why it feels so personal, how it can mess with your head, and — most importantly — how you can turn it all around and get back to loving your time behind the wheel.  We'll also dive into one of the most overlooked but crucial elements of becoming a faster, more consistent iRacer: effective practice. Not just "turning laps," but practicing with purpose. We'll explore how to build a structured training routine, what elements you should focus on (racecraft, qualifying, setups, mental preparation), how to track your progress, and why the smartest drivers treat practice like serious athletes. Plus, we'll talk about how to avoid burnout and make practice sessions both efficient and fun. Podcast e-mail: theloneroadiracerspodcast@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 YouTube Vlog: https://youtu.be/A0MfQWwaVsk10% off DRE: https://getdre.app/loneiracerSupport the show

Little did I know, Mother Nature had a different plan in store. As I rounded the Arie Luyendyk Bocht, the skies suddenly sprang a leak, and within moments, rain started pouring down. The dry, grippy asphalt I had been racing on transformed into a slick, treacherous surface. My tires were screaming for traction, but i made the split decision to change to wets on the grid!But that's what makes Zandvoort so special. It's not just the technical sections or the stunning scenery; it's the unpredictability that keeps you coming back for more. You never quite know what to expect, and that makes every lap an adventure.So, stay tuned as we break down the intricacies of Circuit Zandvoort, and of course, I'll give you all the details on how I managed to navigate that surprise rainstorm.You're listening to The Lone Road iRacers Podcast.
