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.

Welcome back to the Lone Road iRacers Podcast with me your host Guy Robertson.

We have 2 topics on todays podcast:

We're diving into something every iRacer faces sooner or later — losing iRating. 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.

We’re talking high stakes, high speed, and a championship showdown on the most iconic track in the world—Le Mans.

Because this year, a new name etched himself into sim racing history: Cooper Webster, who clinched the 2025 Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup championship in a style that has the entire community buzzing.

But that’s just the beginning.

After we unpack Webster’s journey, we’re going full throttle into the legacy of the PESC itself—where it started, why it matters, and how it turned from a bold experiment into the crown jewel of sim racing.

We’ll revisit the early champions, the rivalries that defined an era, and how this one series changed the game for thousands of virtual racers around the world.

So whether you’re on the road, in the rig, or just dreaming of that next apex, sit back, strap in, and let’s ride.

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.

Welcome back to The Lone Road iRacers Podcast! I’m Guy Robertson, and today, we’re diving into one of North America’s underrated gems—Portland International Raceway. This track might not have the international prestige of Suzuka or Spa, but for those who know, it’s a fantastic venue packed with history, technical challenges, and some intense racing. So, let’s buckle up and hit the virtual asphalt!

Portland International Raceway has been a key venue in American motorsport for decades, but it often flies under the radar. Unlike many historic tracks, it doesn’t boast a long F1 or endurance racing pedigree, but what it does have is a reputation for producing tight, action-packed racing. The mix of high-speed sections and technical corners makes it an excellent proving ground for both real-world and sim racers.

In today’s episode, we’ll break down the history of PIR, the layout, racing strategies, and how to maximize your performance in iRacing. Whether you’re an experienced sim racer or someone looking to expand their track knowledge, this episode will help you appreciate why Portland is such a beloved track in the racing community.
We also catch up with round 3 of this season PESC Result.
