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.

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.

The studio was lively this week for a special Wednesday show – an extended edition of Ask Jr with Dale and TJ.The fans brought all of their best questions from social media and the live chat, covering topics like the biggest fights in NASCAR, the supposed brawl in the NASCAR Hauler between Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart, Dale's terrifying crash at California 2002, and many more.Dale and TJ also had some fun reminiscing on the days where our wallets had photo albums, wallets had chains and a lot of guys carried a comb in their pocket.. Do we need to go back to those days? They also discuss Ty Gibbs throwing his water bottle into the Blaney/Hocevar scuffle, if Dale Sr has ever fought any drivers during his career, and the $400 phone bill that Dale Jr racked up while living with his brother Kerry.This Wednesday show also rounds out with Dirty Mo Dough and a special guest George Wrighster III, the host of Dirty Mo Media's new podcast Unafraid Show.

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Being faster doesn't give you the right to drive through the car ahead.This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we're using real racing footage to look at two sides of racecraft: knowing when to Bank the Result, and understanding why some iRacers catch another car only to punt it off instead of actually overtaking it.Plus:

On today's show: 2026 Season 4 Release is live, how much has iRacing changed since 2008?, first impressions of Sim Labs DDS26, would a foldable rig save you space?, a new sim to reality story, what actions are ban worthy? and we are SEVEN DAYS AWAY FROM THE START OF THE SIM GAMING EXPO IN CHICAGO!

Comment on the show?..send me a text!The Lone Road iRacing Podcast is FIVE years old, and Season 5 starts right here.Five years ago, The Lone Road began with little more than a microphone, a love of iRacing and an idea. That very first episode received just 21 downloads.Today, nearly 200 episodes later, the podcast has passed 23,000 downloads, reached iRacers around the world and grown into something I could never have imagined when I first pressed record.For this special Season 5 premiere and fifth birthday episode, we're looking back at where The Lone Road began, including a snippet from those very early days, and looking ahead at what comes next.I'm also joined by Mike Ellis from The iRacers Lounge for a very special conversation. There's a lovely bit of history here too, because iRacers Lounge played an unexpected part in the creation of The Lone Road all those years ago.And Season 5 brings some changes...❤️ A completely new Season 5 introduction and visual identity

This week's episode features Fresh Tracks, iRacing Arcade, Apidya' Special, Super Woden Rally Edge, Dream Cage, and Order Automatica.

On today's show: can you race big rigs in iRacing?, is VR finally good enough?, we are two weeks from the start of the Sim Gaming Expo, find out what product will transform your sim racing experience, is this the Simucube killer? and it's week 12 so that means we have a development blog to discuss.

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.Just one final lap of Season 4.Prepare. Perform. Progress.

Imaginad al tricampeón Max Verstappen pilotando en sesión de clasificación un salvaje monoplaza de 1986 con más de mil cuatrocientos caballos de potencia bruta. Sin dirección asistida, con un retraso del turbo (turbo lag) brutal, con un cambio manual en forma de H, efecto suelo y un chasis súper rígido que transmite cada bache a la columna vertebral. ¿Sobreviviría el piloto holandés, forjado en la precisión quirúrgica de los simuladores modernos, a la época más analógica, arriesgada y brutal de la historia de la Fórmula 1? Bienvenidos al choque definitivo de dos mundos. En este vídeo os propongo un experimento apasionante. Hemos escogido al piloto que para muchos representa el talento natural más asombroso de este siglo, el insaciable Max Verstappen, y lo vamos a teletransportar en el tiempo a la década de los ochenta. Aquella fue una época dorada y oscura a partes iguales, donde la Fórmula 1 no era un deporte de cuidadosa gestión de neumáticos ni de ingenieros de datos tecleando algoritmos en un muro de boxes. Era un puro ejercicio de supervivencia extrema: había que domar bestias mecánicas indomables que intentaban matarte en cada curva. Para entender el monumental desafío al que se enfrentaría Max, primero debemos analizar su prodigioso cerebro. Verstappen es el hijo predilecto de la era digital; creció compitiendo en plataformas como iRacing, interiorizando la adherencia a través de volantes con force feedback. En la F1 actual, su Red Bull es un misil hiper-refinado. Conduce con una precisión asombrosa, modificando parámetros del diferencial o del freno motor con sus pulgares desde un volante extremadamente complejo. Si hay un mínimo subviraje, una docena de ingenieros en Milton Keynes analizan miles de canales de telemetría y le indican la solución por radio al instante. Pero si enviamos a Verstappen a los ochenta, le arrebatamos de golpe sus superpoderes tecnológicos. En aquel entonces, el volante era un simple aro de cuero de la marca Momo. No había ingenieros analizando la degradación térmica; el único sensor válido era el cuerpo del piloto apoyado en un asiento de fibra de vidrio. La "telemetría" consistía en llegar a boxes, quitarse el casco chorreando sudor y gritarle al mecánico jefe qué fallaba en el coche. Para diseccionar si Verstappen saldría victorioso, repasamos la cronología de las "torturas mecánicas" a las que tendría que enfrentarse: 1980-1982 - La tortura física del efecto suelo: Los monoplazas se convertían en inmensas ventosas aerodinámicas gracias a las faldillas laterales. El paso por curva era rapidísimo, pero obligaba a usar suspensiones duras como piedras. El impacto de los baches iba directo a la columna del piloto, y las fuerzas G extremas hacían que algunos perdieran la visión periférica o vomitaran por agotamiento. Además, si el coche saltaba y perdía ese efecto suelo, salía despedido contra el muro sin previo aviso. 1983-1985 - El monstruo del turbo lag y las cajas manuales: Tras la prohibición del efecto suelo, llegaron los indomables motores turbo. Frente a la potencia instantánea de los motores híbridos actuales a los que Max está acostumbrado, los turbos de los ochenta tenían un retraso desesperante de casi dos segundos. Había que pisar a fondo en pleno vértice, esperar a que el turbo cargara, y recibir una patada nuclear de 900 caballos a la salida de la curva, todo esto mientras se soltaba el volante con una mano para lidiar con una durísima caja de cambios manual. 1986 - La locura de los motores de clasificación: El apogeo absoluto de la brutalidad. Para la clasificación del sábado, se usaban motores con presiones absurdas que generaban más de 1.400 caballos de potencia para apenas unas vueltas, destrozando unos neumáticos blandísimos y convirtiéndose en bombas de relojería térmica. Los coches derrapaban a más de 300 km/h en las rectas. 1987-1989 - El inicio del refinamiento: Con la llegada de los motores atmosféricos y las restricciones de la FIA por la altísima siniestralidad, la potencia volvió a ser más predecible (la era de Senna y Prost). Aquí Verstappen se sentiría más cómodo, pero la exigencia física seguía siendo demoledora, provocando hasta ampollas sangrantes en las manos por los constantes cambios de marcha en circuitos como Mónaco. Finalmente, hay que hablar del riesgo real. En la F1 de los ochenta, la red de seguridad sencillamente no existía. Los chasis eran frágiles latas de aluminio y las escapatorias eran muros de hormigón. El miedo a la muerte era una constante. Los pilotos no podían arriesgar lanzando el coche al interior de una curva rápida, porque un toque a 250 km/h no era un abandono, era un billete a la sala de reanimación. Para terminar primero en los ochenta, primero tenías que terminar vivo.

This week on the Etoft21Sports Podcast, host Erik brings on three guests for the most action-packed episode of the season — tennis, NASCAR, and UFC all in one show.

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.Own your mistakes and apologise.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.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.And when you've finished listening, answer this:What would YOU tell your rookie iRacing self?Visit ProjectApex.uk and join the APEX CREW.Shows e-mail: theloneroadiracingpodcast@gmail.comYouTube Pod: https://youtu.be/xK4ivnX-AMIFacebook Link:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 N.B: Intro & Outro music by Udio AI music GeneratorSupport the show

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.

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:

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Have you ever hovered over the Register button in iRacing... only to back out because you didn't feel ready?You're not alone.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.Inspired by a heartfelt email from listener Martin, we discuss why so many iRacers struggle with confidence, even when they have the pace, and why practising against AI can only take you so far.Whether you're new to iRacing, returning after time away, or simply lacking confidence to race wheel-to-wheel, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you overcome the mental barriers holding you back.In this episode:• Why online racing can feel intimidating• AI racing vs real online competition• Building confidence behind the wheel• Developing racecraft in official races• Learning from mistakes without fear• The confidence trap that keeps drivers in Test Drive• Why every experienced iRacer once felt exactly the sameRemember...Confidence isn't a requirement for racing. Racing is the requirement for confidence.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with another iRacer who might need to hear this message.

Some love it, some hate it. You're probably doing at least part of it wrong, even if you're good at it. Twenty years ago, INTC co-host Ross Bentley was a beta tester for the original version of iRacing, the world's largest online racing sim. Today, he's logged thousands of hours of sim coaching for “real" race drivers both pro and amateur. And he's learned a lot along the way.This started as a simple 101-level chat between Sam and Ross about sim technique. By the end of the show, they'd gone down the rabbit hole with everything from stupid dad jokes to how people learn and Ross's experience using sims to coach a rank amateur onto the podium at a real-life Le Mans.“Bah!” you say. “I like real cars! Real risk and sweat and the smell of gear oil in the morning!” ("Bah!" we say.

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Every iRacer experiences it.One week you're gaining iRating, climbing the Safety Rating ladder and feeling unstoppable...The next week you're caught in first-lap incidents, losing confidence and wondering if you've forgotten how to drive.In this week's episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we're talking about the emotional side of sim racing.✔ Why confidence changes everything.✔ How one bad race can become a downward spiral.✔ Why success can sometimes be just as dangerous as failure.✔ Practical strategies to stay motivated through both the highs and the lows.✔ Learning to race for long-term progress instead of short-term numbers.Plus, this week's iRacing Agony Uncle tackles a question many of us have secretly asked ourselves..."Why do I let my iRating control my mood?"Whether you're a Rookie or an experienced sim racer, this episode is all about building a healthier mindset so you can enjoy iRacing for years to come.Because the pendulum always swings...The key is learning how to ride it.

Dan Ticktum's Didier Pironi impression in the first race of the Tokyo E-Prix brought out strong opinions for Sascha and Georgie Mackay, as did the severe fall-off of the three people who were assumed to be fighting for the title based on early-season, Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein, and Edoardo Mortara. The pod looks at the best possible smash-and-grab, and how Formula E found the dullest location in Tokyo. Georgie's iRacing run-out in a car that had a Jesus/Nicholas Cage livery was also pored over. Cyril Blais is remembered following his tragic passing.Join Motion Racing on Discord! https://discord.gg/sp8ey8bU4TFollow on Bluesky: https://motionracing.bsky.socialNewsletter: https://motionracing.substack.comWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@motionracingpodcast
