Podcasts about simracing

So it's farewell to Zandvoort for the time being then. The Dutch Grand Prix was a welcome return to the F1 calendar in 2021, a tyear later then planned, but we don't talk about that! It's chucked up a few interesting races over the last few years and this year's wasn't an exception to that either.This week (it's getting a bit regular again isn't it!) on the pod we take a look at a race that turned out to be interesting in ways that we hadn't expected. Nobody thought that Max would be done before the end of the 1st lap, Oscar Piastri wasn't expecting to be called into the pits every few minutes on a strategy that even Ferrari in their prime would call "a bit daft" and Hulk made possibly the best save of his career in avoiding his spinning team-mate, Gabriel PirouettoThere's a load of other F1 related nonsense as we get back into talking rubbish in public again on a weekly basis and don't forget to see how you did in the ⁠Prediction League⁠ and ⁠Official F1 Fantasy League⁠ too.And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, practice and qualifying) head over to our ⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠ where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Hello and sorry! We thought that after that one show we managed to do in May, we'd be able to make a full comeback for this season, but sadly ill health raised its ugly head and that put all our plans on hold for a while. But after only doing a small handfull of podcasts in 2026, it now looks like things are on the up and we're ready to roll again for the 2nd half of this F1 season and beyond.This month on the show (it'll be back to being "this week" from next week) we take a look at what's been going on over teh summer break as it turned out there were a few talking points with contracts, team principle changes and just before we started recording, a substitute appearance for both RedBull backed teams.Of course there was Thursday News as this one got recorded on a wednesday night, so we missed the Max contract extension announcement, but you already knew about that anyway didn't you?Anyway, F1 is now back and so are we, so pull up a comfy seat and strap in for the 2nd half of what's turning out to be an interesting season!Also don't forget to see how you did in the Prediction League and Official F1 Fantasy League too.And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, 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 are talking with McRalph who turned his hobby as a YouTuber in the sim racing scene into a full time job. He talks about the transition from hobby to job, his experiences, and much more! The interview part starts at minute 12:06

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. "We like both!")***IN THIS EP: Where sim racing came from – What kind of equipment do you really need? — Getting used to a sim's lack of feel — Why you're slower in a sim than you are in a car — and more!This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

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:

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Are you fast... but struggling to finish races?In this week's episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, I share an email from a listener that completely changed the direction of this week's show. It sparked a look back at my own Season 2 statistics, and what I discovered surprised even me.267 race starts.15 wins.168 Top Five finishes.The numbers revealed a simple truth...Success on iRacing isn't built on spectacular wins. It's built on consistency.In this episode I discuss the ten mindset shifts that have transformed my racing over the past five years and explain why making smarter decisions often beats outright speed.In this episode:

Comment on the show?..send me a text!What does it really take to build and lead an iRacing community?In this special interview episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, I sit down with James from JP Broadcasting for one of the most open and honest conversations we've ever had on the show.We discuss the reality of running leagues, broadcasting live iRacing events, building a thriving Discord community, dealing with criticism, staff moving on, driver cliques, loyalty, leadership and the mental toll that can come from trying to keep everyone happy.Most of us simply join a race and enjoy the experience. But behind every successful community are people investing countless hours to keep it all running.Whether you're a league owner, broadcaster, content creator, Discord moderator or simply passionate about sim racing, this conversation offers a fascinating insight into the challenges that often go unseen.This isn't just a conversation about iRacing.It's a conversation about leadership, resilience and remembering why we started in the first place.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing, leaving a review and sharing it with a fellow iRacer.

IN THIS EPISODESerrated went to LA and got a bit of trauma which will be suppressed and ignored. Hence the reason why some things from last episode were repeated on this one. Serrated had actual memory loss. Kinda. Small scale.Other than that part. Serrated recounts his first time meeting JJ in person in LA and talks about the sim racing that occurred during that meetup. Saab 900's are also mentioned. THIS WEEK ON FLAG TIME

From bus doors getting destroyed to Michael Jordan's motivating words, and maybe even a future racer in the Earnhardt family - this week's Dirty Thirty is one for the history books. To start us off, Dale Jr. talks about broadcasting from an Aircraft carrier this weekend at San Diego, and the time he saw his bus have an issue live on TV at Pocono. Then, he and Amy talk about Nicole's ride in Justin Allgaier's car to victory lane — and how it may have sparked her interest in going racing someday. After that, the Door Bumper Clear crew discusses the Cup Series drivers' aggressiveness this year under the new points format. Over on Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin sets his goal for San Diego and Sonoma, and shares the words Michael Jordan said during a pre-season meeting with 23XI that sparked DH's tenacious approach to this year. Finally, Red Bull brethren and road course aces, Connor Zilisch & Shane van Gisbergen, discuss what they are expecting heading into the historic weekend in San Diego, racing on a Naval Base.

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Why do so many iRacers feel stuck?Whether you're sitting at 1,200 iRating, 2,500 iRating or even higher, almost every driver eventually reaches a plateau where progress slows, motivation drops and improvement becomes harder to find.In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, host Guy Robertson explores the world of the iRacing midfield. We discuss why drivers become trapped, the psychology behind plateaus, burnout, confidence, racecraft, real-life commitments and what the fastest drivers do differently.We also explore whether escaping the midfield should even be the goal, and why some of the best racing experiences happen right in the middle of the pack.

Welcome back to another episode of Racin' With The Boys. On this week’s episode, we’re joined by William Byron, the driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. William is typically a quieter guy but Delanie and Taylor really get him to open up. William and the boys were able to meet up before the Nashville race this past weekend and Taylor asks him what are the nerves like heading into a race. The guys then get into trying to understand the different types of penalties that happen in NASCAR and how some drivers may not know every single little rule that there is. William is also known to be a big LEGO guy so Taylor asks him what he's currently building but William says he hasn't been able to get into too much as golf has taken over. The boys then really dive into William's come up to NASCAR. He didn't have the typical rise through the ranks like most of the other drivers. William started out as a SIM racer and earned his stripes through that. He gets into his journey on how he went from SIM racing to actual racing and the major learning curve that was. Byron eventually got signed by Hendricks Motorsports, one of the dynasties in NASCAR, to drive the iconic #24 car. He gets into what the pressure is like driving not only for such a legendary team, but also an iconic number. We end the podcast with a quick one word to describe some drivers that you aren't going to want to miss.

How much content do you really need? Should you buy every new release? Or focus on mastering the cars and tracks you already own?

Comment on the show?..send me a text!DTM was once one of the most feared and respected racing championships in the world. Factory-backed monsters from Mercedes, Audi and BMW battled wheel-to-wheel in a series known for aggressive racing, huge crowds and brutal touring cars.So what happened?Why did DTM almost collapse… and can the new official DTM Series on iRacing help bring it back to life?In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson explores:

It's been way too long since we've been able to do this thanks to the new mixing desk deciding to stop working half way through recording episodes 3 times (It's going back to get fixed or replaced ASA-bloody-P)  But we've finally managed to cobble something together to make a comeback 10 weeks and 4 Grands Prix after the last succesful attempt at recording something!And what a great race to come back to. We've seen the new order at Mercedes with Kimi Antonelli living up to the hype and taking the lead in the championship with 4 straight wins, a resurgent Ferrari (although McLaren acting like they were the team in red with their Sunday strategy helped) and a tweak to the regulations that we'd still not managed to get used to from the start of the sesason already coming into force!This week (month?) on the podcast we do a bit of a free-form look at the Canadian GP weekend just to ease us back into doing this pod-thingy and see if anyone still wants to listen to us ramble about F1. We still enjoy it, when technology allows, so it's a start!All being well, we're back to a weekly schedule again (until the old mixing desk conks out anyway) so once again, we're back and sorry!Also don't forget to see how you did in the Prediction League and Official F1 Fantasy League too.And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, practice and qualifying) head over to our ⁠Discord⁠ where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, we sit down with Sean Hamlin, co-founder of VHS Group and Race Haus, to break down how a home services and technology company unexpectedly evolved into one of the most exciting new motorsports experiences in St. Louis.Sean shares how VHS Group began with smart home installations, home theaters, and custom tech builds before expanding into golf simulators—and eventually stumbling into the idea that would become Race Haus after a client requested a custom racing simulator setup. That single project quickly snowballed into a fully immersive racing lounge in Webster Groves, where guests can compete on professional-grade simulators, experience real racing dynamics, and build a growing community around motorsports.He walks through the early days of experimentation, the rapid viral growth on social media, and how Saint Louis embraced the concept far faster than expected. From weekends packed with high-end cars outside the building to competitive leagues forming inside, Race Haus has quickly become a destination for both casual fans and serious racing enthusiasts.The conversation also dives into what it's like building multiple businesses at once—balancing leadership, family life, a full-time career, and entrepreneurship—plus the importance of building the right team, embracing technology, and learning when to step back and let systems scale.From smart homes to simulators, from local experiments to national ambitions, this episode is about turning passion, technology, and community into a completely new kind of entertainment business.They discuss: - Building VHS Group and smart home technology services - The origins of Race Haus and the first simulator build - Golf simulators and early tech innovation - Creating an immersive racing experience in Webster Groves - Viral growth and St. Louis car community support - Scaling multiple businesses simultaneously - Leadership, burnout, and entrepreneurial discipline - The role of AI, automation, and technology in growth - Building leagues and competitive racing experiences - Expansion plans and the future of Race Haus - Creating a new entertainment category in St. Louis

From structured progression and racecraft development to the psychology behind better decision-making, this episode explores whether iRacing is missing a key piece of the puzzle.We compare how other racing titles like Gran Turismo 7, F1 23, and Forza Motorsport approach progression—and why iRacing has the opportunity to do it differently.We also break down: Why racecraft—not speed—is the real skill gap  How Career Mode could reduce Lap 1 chaos  The mental health side of iRacing (tilt, frustration, confidence)  How to improve faster using leagues, Discord, and community support  Whether structured progression would have changed YOUR journey Plus, this week's iRacing Agony Uncle tackles being stuck in D Class and how to break through using smarter practice—not just more racing.

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Welcome back to The Lone Road iRacing Podcast with Guy Robertson.In this episode, we break down my Season 1 2026 iRacing stats, analysing what 300 races, 10 wins, and 149 top fives really say about driver performance, consistency, and racecraft.But this episode goes further…We explore the global growth of the podcast, with listeners across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and beyond. From Forest City, North Carolina to Melbourne, Australia and Clonee, Ireland, we dive into why sim racing communities thrive in both big cities and small towns.

Nick Plocienik returns to break down his rapid rise from grassroots racing into Porsche Cup cars, GT4/GT3 machinery, and his first IMSA experience at Daytona. He dives into the pressure of real race environments, the chaos of a last-minute car swap, and what it takes to compete at a higher level. We also get into his 1000HP Camaro build for Pikes Peak, sim vs real-world driving, and the mindset behind chasing a full-time racing career.

We've got lots to talk about on the latest episode of Downshift! The 2026 Season 2 build has all sorts of excitement for racers of all types, from the addition of the NASCAR Truck Series RAM to a huge fleet of road racing refreshes on modern and vintage content alike. We also dive into iRacing Arcade, our exciting new collaboration with Original Fire Games, and catch up on the latest in esports, including the refreshed eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series format.

So the new season is finally here, with the new regulations, new teams, new driver (singular), returning drivers (X2) and new worries about the cars being fast enough, stable enough, capable of lasting for an entire qualifying session (let alone a race) and a whole new order up and down the grid.Well we got a half decent opening to 2026 at least, overtakes with the new moveable aero (don't call it DRS, even though that's what it looks like) and drivers seemingly having to do hardcore maths while working out batter levels and charging/clipping/superclipping levels.This week on the podcast we look back at the Australian Grand Prix, where the new order appears to be the last order but 2 with Mercedes taking the top 2 steps on the podium this time out, but was it as clear-cut as the results say? There was a recovering Max thanks to an issue with the car in Q1 that sent him into the barriers, and some questions over Ferrari's strategy call under a VSC (at least some things don't change!)There's also a look at the other stories circulating round the paddock at the moment, especially concerning the Bahrain & Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and if they're going to happen at all this year, or will the current conflict in the Middle-East leave us without F1 for the entire month of April?Also don't forget to see how you did in the Prediction League and Official F1 Fantasy League too.And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, practice and qualifying) head over to our ⁠Discord⁠ where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

It's the eve of the 2026 season (Seasonmas Eve?) and 10 teams are poised to launch into 2026 with new cars, with new aero and engine regulations, but wait... Who's that clunking round at the back with bits falling off the car at half the speed of everyone else? It's the new Aston Martin Honda powered donkey!As we all wait in anticipation for the start of the latest new era of F1, good old Honda have done it again, they've managed to create an engine that vibrates itself practically to pieces and has done so, so many times that they've run out of spare parts and it looks like they might only make the first few laps when when the season opens in Melbourne this weekend!This week on the pod we take a brief look back at the 3 testing sessions that took place in Barcelona and Bahrain where, as usual, we learnt next to nothing over who is going to be quick and reliable, but did learn who isn't!Bit of a hurridly thrown together show this week, but we've still managed to cram as many tangents in as possible, along with the launch of this season's Prediction League and Official F1 Fantasy League too.And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, practice and qualifying) head over to our ⁠Discord⁠ where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Happy New Regulations everyone! Yes it's 2026 and the new F1 rules are coming into force very soon, even if the teams, F1 themselves and even the FIA aren't 100% sure of what they are and how they'll work. What could go wrong? (We'll find out soon, Scarbs will be joining us to explain all that!)This week on the first podcast of 2026, we take a look back at the major F1 stories that have happened since we last got together a couple of months back. We've seen Friend of the Podcast Lando Norris become World Champion, the end of the Helmut Marko era at RedBull, rumours about the return of Christian Horner to the grid (with Alpine this time) and we wildly speculate about when we'll see the Renault name back in F1 again after they left, not for the first time, this year.There's a load of tangents as well as we just generally have a catchup as it's the first time all 4 of us have spoken to each other at the same time since before Christmas, so it's a bit of a freeform, all over the place kind of show. But we have got an Is That Glock for a change!And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, practice and qualifying) head over to our ⁠Discord⁠ where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

It's the best show of 2026 (so far!)—the boys are back to take a look at last month's 2026 Season 1 build, featuring the ultra-popular Porsche 911 Cup (992.2), FIA Cross Car, and an exciting new fleet of tracks. We've also got a look ahead at the biggest event in sim racing, this weekend's iRacing Daytona 24, and a competitive set of esports events for the World of Outlaws, INDYCAR, and eNASCAR.

It was all lined up. The penultimate race weekend of the season at a track that isn't exactly condusive to overtakes. Lando  just needed to outscore both his rivals by 2 points over the sprint and the Grand Prix to claim his first World Driver's crown, he was starting ahead of Max Verstappen in both races and he's had the measure of Oscar Piastri recently. It's a sure thing isn't it?This week on the podcast we look back at the race weekend where Lando Norris could well have lost the championship after McLaren took a gamble on strategy straight out the Ferrari playbook and managed to keep the 3 way title fight alive right up to the final race of the season next weekend in Abu Dhabi (and we all know how that's gone before don't we). How did they manage to get everything so wrong and be the only team not to pit under a safety car with 50 laps to go when there were compulsory stops after a maximum of 25 laps on a set of tyres?At least for the likes of us we've got another season where the finale isn't a dead rubber/lame duck and we're not going to know who the 2025 World Champion is until Sunday afternoon (unless something goes badly wrong in qualifying of course!) So of course we're speculating like nobody's business on that and on what the 2026 RedBull & VCARB lineups are going to be along with which one of the 5 prosepective drivers is going to be left without a seat (spoiler, it's Yuki) until someone messes up and gets demoted/fired! Obviously we've got a good few tangents as well as it wouldn't be an episode of 3L4W without them!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.

As the saying goes; what happens in Vegas, stays In Vegas. And that was true about Lando Norris's 24 point lead over 2nd place in the World Driver's Championship after a double dq for McLaren and an imperious win for (former, but on longer title outsider) Max Verstappen. Could Max actually do it this season, from an over 100 point deficit to taking the title in the last 2 race weekends? If he does manage to pip both papaya clad drivers to the title, this will probably go down in history as just about the greatest championship win ever. So get your popcorn ready, we're at the sharp end!This week on the podcast we look back at a Las Vegas Grand Prix that had more tha a few shocks. A wet track, an utterly abysmal Ferrari qualifying strategy, even by their own, already low, standards. Lance Stroll ending up as the victim of a move from Bortaletto that could only be described as "Strollesque" And a reault that's keeping the championship a three way scrap for far longer than anyone thought possible at the Summer break.You might notice that we recorded this on Wednesday this week and thanks to a huge stroke of luck when it comes to F1 news, the Adrian Newey appointment as team principle at Aston Martin from next year was still doing the rounds of shocking and confusing everyone. What is Lawrence Stroll playing at? Is he actually a genius or will this come crashing down like his last few TP appointments did?

Said the greatest driver ever to come out of Brazil. Sadly a few too many of the current grid took that to heart this weekend and a few teams were left with serious repair jobs, penalties and wasted weekends.This week on the podcast we look back at the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend where a combination of a drying track, soaking kerbs (hey, we're British OK!) and quite possibly a lack of spatial awareness from some drivers gave us both an entertaining sprint and a Grand Prix that showed us that you cannot count out Max Verstappen when there's even the faintest sniff of a podiumAs usual, we go team by team for who did what, who didn't do what and what the hell were they doing throughout the weekend after 2 races that have firmly tipped the balance for the World Driver's Championship very much onto Lando's side.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.

With a rare week between races, it's a good time to take stock of what's been going on this season and who better to do it with than VritualStatMan himself Sean Kelly.This week on the pod, Sean joins us from StatHQ and as always he's got an absolute mountain of facts, stories and plenty of anecdotes from the F1 paddock and beyond. Including getting told where to go by Guenther Steiner, Adrian Sutil's fashion sense, Jenson Button's credit card and tons more!There's all the usual tangents as well and what would a show with Sean on be without a quiz, so we've got an Is That Glock that we've been holding in reserve fot ages, just for him!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. And on the socials we've got our Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky & Twitter (or is it X) and Paul's attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel.
