Crash and Burn: The Mental Toll of Bad Rejoins in iRacing

Comment on the show?..send me a text!

Welcome back to The Lone Road iRacers Podcast! The show where we dive deep into everything iRacing—from the thrill of the perfect lap to the frustration of getting wrecked by a poor rejoin. I’m your host, Guy Robertson, and today, we’re tackling one of the most infuriating issues every iRacer faces: the bad rejoin. We’ve all been there—you’re battling for a top position, everything is going perfectly, and then out of nowhere, a backmarker crashes into you because they didn’t rejoin the track safely. You lose your position, your race, your sanity... and it can take a real toll on you, mentally and physically.

But it’s not just about frustration. It’s about how these moments affect your confidence, your racing mentality, and even how you approach future races. So, what can iRacing do to prevent these accidents? And what should the driver who causes the incident do afterward? We’ll explore all of that and more today.

Plus, stick around for a special announcement at the end of the show—we’re planning a live podcast episode to discuss potential solutions with you, the iRacing community. But first, let’s dive into the mental and emotional toll that bad rejoins take on every racer. Let’s get into it.
