So Singapore then? Yes we got to see George Russell on the top step with a seemingly resurgent Max Verstappen taking 2nd, which only leaves 1 step on the podium for McLaren and this time round it was Lando Norris, but it was in a way that didn't exactly please Oscar and the other side of the garage.Congratulations to McLaren on clinching their 2nd consecutive World Constructor's Championship, but now the hard work really starts for them. They've got 2 drivers in contention for the driver's crown, but it seems like things aren't exactly cordial right now. After Forcing Oscar to let Lando past after a fudged pit stop in Monza and now not letting him by after the usual Sinagpore GP lap 1 "3 into 1 doesn't go" first corner. Do we get the impression that Oscar is now driving for Oscar, due to the team having got their spot at the top?We try and make sense of what's coming for the rest of the 2025 season as well as a stack of our usual going off on tangents (there's more in the Patreon show if that's your kind of thing). Along with our usual team by team lookback at the race and some of the best radio we've heard from Fernando Alonso since the last time he let the pitwall know his thoughts!And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

There's always something special about the Italian Grand Prix. It's a combination of the out and out speed of the circuit, the stands full of the Tifosi , even when Ferrari aren't on top form and of course a National Anthem before the race that it's impossible to sing without sounding like you 100% mean every word of it. And this week, we got the full package!This week we look back at the Monza race where Max Verstappen proved that RedBull can still make a car that can destroy the rest of the grid on pure pace alone and McLaren proved that they are human after all by making mistakes and then fudging their solution to them when they crop up! Big announcement form us this week as well as we launch our new merch store, thanks to the wonderful people (especially Larisa) from Dashery. We've already got a few new designs up and it's not just t-shirts, there's mugs, stickers and even cushons with more designs to follow.

The Loam Ranger, aka Ryan Kelly, is our guest on this episode of the Flatirons Syndicate Podcast.Ryan fell in love with Rally Racing at almost the same time as he found Mountain Biking.

Hello and welcome to episode 112 of the Alfa Romeo Driver podcast, brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. With Editor Guy Swarebrick this month are one of the Club's newest Section Secretaries Andrew Whitehead – know to his friends as TED – and friend of the podcast, MiTo Registrar and AROC Racing Leagues commentator Reeve Taylor to talk about the eSports Section's latest activities, including its new racing programme which started this week. AROC Racing Leagues races are broadcast on YouTube from 8pm every Wednesday. You can find all the races on the AROC YouTube Channel – and Round 1 of our new 1750 Championship is here The lowest price we could find for the Ultimate Edition of Assetto Corsa is £9.53 at Instant Gaming – which is an absolute steal! We did exaggerate slightly in the podcast when we said it was 13 years old. It's only 11 years since the official release, although preview versions were around earlier…  And here's a video showing what's involved in setting your PC up to race with us - thanks to Section member - and friend of the podcast - Jack Hodson. You can find more at our official website and the Touring Car and Historic Racing websites - and the email address we couldn't remember on the podcast is this simple!  If you don't have a PC, Assetto Corsa is available for Xbox – although most of the additional content is not and, unfortunately, Xbox and PC multiplayer racing don't mix. And, finally, thanks to Greig Young for the image on the label - taken from the opening round and feature TED and Matt Daly.

I'm your host, Guy Robertson, and today's episode is a ride on the wild side. We're talking about fear. Not just any fear, but the white-knuckled, foot-lifting kind that creeps in just before you reach the apex of some of iRacing's most infamous corners. Today, I'll take you through five of the most terrifying turns in the sim, break down why they're so hard, where they are on track, and how to build the confidence to conquer them. Whether you're a seasoned iRacer or fresh on your license, these corners demand your respect—and today, you'll learn how to earn theirs.But that's not all. In the second half of today's episode, we head over to California to visit a track that's short in distance but big in personality—Laguna Seca. We'll explore the history of this legendary circuit, how the world-famous Corkscrew came to be, and how to master it in your sim rig.Shows e-mail: theloneroadiracerspodcast@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 Youtube VLOG: https://youtu.be/UTQbNJ6deYw10% off DRE:  https://getdre.app/loneiracerN.B: Intro & Outro music by Udio AI music GeneratorSupport the show

Well that was a few days in the unhinged world of F1, we started off with an action packed British Grand Prix, which gave Lando Norris his first home win and Nico Hülkenberg his first podium in 239 starts, after some very mixed up weather conditions. And just when we thought the dust was settling in time for F1 to have the break before the official Summer break, RedBull go and pull something kind of unexpected out of the bag by announcing that their team principle and divisive character Christian Horner is no lonfer their team principle (or CEO for that matter)This week on the podcast we unpick the events of the last few days and revel in the fact that we decided to record a couple of days late this week so didn't miss the big midweek story! There's a bit of a review of the British GP as I'm fairly sure that everyone's heard about it all by now, but fresh off  the newswire there's our deep dive into the trainwreck that is (and has been for the last year) the RedBull situation. It's not a case of "we come to bury Horner, not to priase him" but more of our honest thoughts on him as a team principle and his image as a person (not many punches were pulled in the making of this bit).On the Sauber side of the garage, we end up doing an impromptu Is That Glock as Kieren & Paul had done their homework, so we made Sian & Chris suffer because of it!Of course there's a fair amount of tangents too and if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Comment on the show?..send me a text! Not every race is won with horsepower. Sometimes, it's your mind that wins it for you. In this episode of the Lone Road iRacers Podcast, we're diving into a series that's become my proving ground: the Production Car Challenge. Driving the Mazda MX-5 Cup this season, I've gained over 300 iRating, not by being the fastest, but by staying smart—and staying clean. But just when I thought I had it mastered, iRacing threw in a curveball: rain. Late-race showers, shifting grip, and chaos in every corner. Let's break down why this combination of momentum racing and unpredictable weather is one of the best experiences iRacing has to offer.Our second subject on todays podcast, we're taking a deep dive into one of the most extreme, misunderstood, and underutilized combinations in sim racing: Monza with the Oval configuration. It's fast, it's furious, and it's a time capsule of motorsport history that most drivers skip over without ever giving it a second thought. But why does Monza have an oval at all? And how does it fit with the more commonly used GP layout? Today, we're diving into the legacy of this legendary hybrid track and what makes it so brutally challenging in iRacing.Shows e-mail: theloneroadiracerspodcast@gmail.comYouTube VLOG: https://youtu.be/ExroOp2CSd0Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 10% off DRE: https://getdre.app/loneiracerN.B: Intro & Outro music by Udio AI music GeneratorSupport the show

It's been a big time for Formula 1 these past few days, we've had the launch of Brad Pitt's long-awaited F1 movie coming straight after a triple header (that we managed to miss, but RIP the Groundhog) and then heading to Austria for what promised to be a shoot-out at RedBull's home track.Well it didn't exacly pan out well for the team that gives you wiiings after all that (also Max didn't turn up to the movie premier in NYC either), but once again we saw a dominant performance from McLaren, who really have made THE car of 2025, leaving everyone else scabbling to pick up what they can from the race.This week on the podcast there's some of your thoughts on the F1 movie, with a couple of spoilers (but there's a timer so you can skip through them) and the ups and downs of an Austrian Grand Prix that started with a fire and kind of went on from there.Sorry for the radio silence again, between covid, flu (thought it was meant to be Summer right now?) and various festivals and gigs we've either all not been able to be in the same place or speak for what seems like months!

I'm your host Guy Robertson, and today we're diving deep into a track and car combo that just might be the holy grail for rookie drivers or anyone struggling with consistency on iRacing. We're talking about the Ray FF1600 and Oran Park Raceway.Now, if you've ever found yourself spinning your wheels—literally and metaphorically—while trying to stitch together clean, confident laps, this episode is for you. You see, the Ray FF1600 is a low-powered, momentum-based, open-wheel machine that doesn't mask your mistakes. It magnifies them. And Oran Park? A beloved Australian track that no longer exists in the real world, but is alive and well in our virtual playground. It's got elevation changes, technical challenges, and corner types that demand precision, patience, and rhythm.Together, they create the perfect test lab for anyone looking to build bulletproof consistency and refine racecraft.

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Welcome to The Lone Road iRacers Podcast, where the virtual rubber meets the real-world road—and today, we're taking you on a ride that celebrates both cutting-edge performance and Australia's rising star in motorsport.In this double-feature episode, we dive into two of the most exciting additions to the iRacing service: The Ferrari 296 GT3 and The Bend Motorsport Park. One is a masterclass in Italian hybrid engineering; the other, a sweeping circuit born in the South Australian outback with global ambitions.First up, we head Down Under to The Bend Motorsport Park, a track that's quickly earned a reputation as one of the most dynamic circuits in the world. From its sprawling International layout to the technical East and West circuits, The Bend brings a fresh challenge to sim racers. Long straights, complex braking zones, and fast-flowing sequences—it's a track that demands respect and rewards precision.Then the Ferrari 296. It's not just another prancing horse—it's a revolution on wheels. Ferrari's first rear-wheel drive hybrid GT car blends a screaming twin-turbo V6 with electric precision, redefining how we think about speed, power, and agility. We'll explore its road-going roots, the race-spec 296 GT3, and how it stacks up against GT3 mainstays in iRacing. It's fast, it's furious, and it's surprisingly refined. But does it have what it takes to dominate the sim?Together, these two additions aren't just content updates—they're game-changers. Whether you're a GT3 warrior looking for your next ride or an iRacer who loves learning every inch of a new circuit, this episode will have something for you.So buckle in—because today, we're merging passion and precision, Maranello and South Australia, horsepower and handling—all on the Lone Road.Let's get started.Shows e-mail: theloneroadiracerspodcast@gmail.comYouTube VLOG: https://youtu.be/HwQqbaUU0I0Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 10% off DRE: https://getdre.app/loneiracerN.B: Intro & Outro music by Udio AI music GeneratorSupport the show

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Welcome to The Lone Road iRacers Podcast. I'm [Your Name], and today, we're stepping away from our usual breakdowns of track guides, update analyses, and hardware debates. Instead, we're going to ask a question that hits a little deeper:Why do we race on iRacing?At first glance, it's simple. We race because we love motorsport. But the real answer? It's layered. Emotional. Personal.Because if you've ever found yourself prepping for a race like it's a Grand Prix, or felt your heart pound on a quali lap, or replayed a close finish for days… you know this sim is more than just pixels and physics. It's a part of who we are.So today, it's just me and you. Let's spend the next 40 or so minutes diving deep into what really drives us — mentally, emotionally, and maybe even spiritually — when we hit that race button.Grab your favourite beverage, settle in, and let's talk about the reason behind the racing.Shows e-mail: theloneroadiracerspodcast@gmail.comYouTube Vlog: https://youtu.be/PTRA_R_S3pQFacebook: Facebook Link:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972N.B: Intro & Outro music by Udio AI music GeneratorSupport the show

Well if that was the last Grand Prix at Imola for the forseeable future, it didn't leave us with a sour taste in the mouth and while it wasn't a classic race it was still better than some of the parades we've had round the circuit for the last 5 years since F1 made a return there in the patched together 2020 season.This week we take a look back at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the first of 2 Italian races this season and the start of the European races to boot. Could McLaren and in particular Oscar Piastri keep up their dominant form from the first quarter of the season, now we're not flying away as much, or with the appearance of a few upgrades (as is traditional at this time of year), would we see more than the papaya cars in the mix?The answer was both sort of yes and sort of no as Max Verstappen spoiled the papaya party this week by completely turning around a RedBull that he wasn't overly keen on up to Saturday afternoon to pull out his most Max-like performances of the season so far. After "that move" on turn 2, there was seemingly no stopping him from running away with it. Especially when McLaren decided to let their drivers race rather than try to strategise a win!Obviously we're as tangent heavy as always (for some reason that you'll hear) and we've ended up with Franz Ferdinand as our featured band of the week (when did this become a music pod?) And as a bonus, while he's not here this week, Dan has promised to be on more shows this year!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Florida is known for orange things, mainly oranges. But this weekend it was a slightly different shade that captured all the headlines in Miami as we saw a hugely dominent showing from the Papaya clad McLaren team at the Miami Grand Prix weekend. Taking the top 2 steps on the podium in both the Sprint and Grand Prix races showed that this season the comeback is fully on!This week on the pod we take a look at the Maimi GP raced round the car park of the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Football Franchise (well that's what it said on the official F1 shirts anyway) where Lando & Oscar traded wins across Friday and Saturday with just about everyone else as an also-ran.There's the usual team by team review and look at what the F1 news is at the moment and what will probably come out after this pod's released (come on Tuesday, show us what you've got) with all the speculation from the aftermath of his lap 1 exit that we may have seen the last of Jack Doohan for now in an Alpine.Expect the usual tangents as well and also the return of Dan while Kieren is sunning himself touring the breweries of California!

Welcome back to Ginger Gaming Radio, where this week we're diving into the exhilarating world of sim racing. With our resident ginger still away, I've teamed up with Scrag and Casey from Road to Racer to explore a hobby that's captured the interest of gamers and racing enthusiasts alike. Join us as Casey shares his journey into sim racing, a path that began unexpectedly when his wife brought home a Logitech shifter. Discover how this initial curiosity evolved into a daily passion, fueled by the immersive nature of racing simulations. We delve into the technical aspects of the hobby, discussing the setup costs, equipment evolution, and the surprising affordability for those just starting out. Together with Scrag, who's also navigated this digital racing landscape, we compare their setups and experiences. They share insights on popular platforms like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and Automobilista, each offering unique challenges and opportunities for racers at all levels. We also tackle the community dynamics, highlighting both the supportive and competitive nature of sim racing enthusiasts. Throughout the discussion, we explore the progression system within these games, how real-life racing dynamics are integrated into simulations, and the fine balance between entertainment and competitive realism. Whether you're a seasoned driver or a curious gamer looking to expand your horizons, this episode provides a comprehensive overview of sim racing as a growing digital sport. As we conclude, Casey tells us about his plans to engage more with physical racing events and the exciting potential for collaborations with racing sponsors. Tune in for an engaging episode that just might inspire you to jump into the driver's seat of a virtual race car.

After the fairly restrained Japanese Grand Prix we needed a bit of a plate cleanser and that's exactly what Bahrain served up to us for out 2nd race in the Gulf this season. A dominant win for McLaren's Oscar Piastri , but eith more FIA based chaos hiding beneath the surface.This week on the podcast we look at the Bahrain Grand Prix which saw a huge number of technical gremlins strike several teams, and some very strange and late calls from the stewards, which ened up ahving a negative effect on a few driver's races. It all kicked off on Saturday when Nico Hulkenberg's best Q1 lap time was deleted during Q3, but the problem was he'd already taken part in Q2 when it turned out he shouldn't have actually got through, this had a knock on effct on Alex Albon, who should then have made the 2nd session with a car that team principle James Vowles claimed had th pace for Q3.It didn't get much better from there as we had timing failures, George Russell able to open his DRS manually and by mistake (when he wqas trying to use the radio) and who knows what else. As usual there's our team by team review and the expected sheload of tangents!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

On an all-new iRacing Downshift, the boys take a look at some of the most exciting parts of the 2025 Season 2 build, look at a busy eSports scene that includes this weekend's Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup finale and multiple eNASCAR series, and share how you can compete alongside NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series star Rajah Caruth later this month.

That about sums up 2 of the 3 most interesting things about the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. The other one was, of course, Max Verstappen's blistering Q3 lap for pole position. But there was fire aplenty at trackside and you've got to feel for Isack Hadjar after his seatbelts were causing him grief in what Top Gear would describe as "The Gentleman's area"This week on the pod we try and make up things to say about one of the dullest Japanese GP's we've had the pleasure of sitting through, it was the first race outside of Monaco where the top 6 on the grid were the top 6 by the end of the race and that stat would have gone further down the order had Lewis not passed Hadjar's Racing Bull to break the tedium (we're really selling this episode aren't we!)There are thankfully a few tangents to break the parade up and there's a great Is That Glock as well, so it's not all that bad!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

In this episode, we dive into the recent NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington, where Denny Hamlin's unexpected victory sparks a lively discussion. We analyze William Byron's dominant performance and strategic missteps, Tyler Reddick's lead change, and Ryan Blaney's impressive navigation through the field. We also touch on Darlington's track changes and the nostalgic appeal of throwback paint schemes. Additionally, we discuss the upcoming NASCAR schedule, the impact of PJ1 traction compound, and Brandon Jones' Xfinity Series win. We reflect on driver accountability and a tribute to the late Shige Hattori. We then turn our attention to a Suzuka Snoozer, with Max Verstappen finding a new gear in qualifying and Jack Doohan trying out a sim move in real life with dire consequences.

Well they've done it again, RedBull have done a mid-season driver swap with RB and this time it's a new record. Liam Lawson only got 2 races in the "big" team as Max Verstappen's team-mate to prove himself, even though he's now in his 3rd rookie season after 2 years as VCARB's super-sub.This week on the podcast we take a deep dive into whatever the hell it is that RedBull (Mainly Helmut Marko) is playing at and how they've potentially managed to derail 2 driver's careers in one badly thought out move. Of course we could be wrong and this could turn out to be the genius move of the season, but previous form, and they've got a LOT of previous form in this, says that it probably won't be,There's a brief few bits of other news including Ferrari's floor and Aston Martin selling shares and buying shares at the same time along with the usual healthy amount of tangents and we've even got a new Is That Glock (complete with jingle as well!)If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

2 weeks in to the 2025 F1 season and we think we all know which way the wind is blowing and also that it's coloured Papaya! BUT it wouldn't be an new season without a little RedBull turmoil and the meat grinder might well be called into action sooner than we expected this time round.This week on the podcast we look back at the Australian GP with its multiple disqualifications, Ferrari going from triumph to utter disaster in the space of a day and the whole will they or won't they with RedBull and Liam Lawson. The rumours coming out are fairly varied, ranging from Yuki Tsunoda is swapping seat with him for or before Japan, to Franco Collapinto is going to be in a RedBull branded car before then. One thing you can say about that team is that they never leave us short of things to talk about (which is just as well because there isn't a race next week)There's all the tangents you'd expect and the return of Is That Glock? (please, please please send some new ones in to us!)Also we've got the results up already for the prediction league for both races in China this past weekend, along with opening the predictions for the upcoming race at Suzuka aloong with our league in the official F1 Fantasy gameIf you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.
