iRacing Race Strategy – Knowing When NOT to Race

Comment on the show?..send me a text!Race strategy isn’t about pit stops — it’s about patience.This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we dive deep into race strategy across short tracks, normal road circuits, and long-form monsters like the Nürburgring Nordschleife.Using a real-world example from this week’s MX-5 races at the Nordschleife, we break down why so many races are effectively lost on Lap 1 — and how restraint, risk management, and emotional control can quietly gain you double-digit positions without a single overtake.In this episode, we cover:Why Lap 1 chaos is almost always self-inflictedStrategy differences between short tracks and long circuitsWhen aggression helps — and when it destroys your raceHow emotional driving kills resultsWhy “doing nothing” is sometimes the fastest strategy of allIf you’ve ever wondered why your pace doesn’t match your finishing positions — this episode is for you.Shows e-mail: theloneroadiracingpodcast@gmail.comYouTube Pod: https://youtu.be/QSV6Nsm0WAEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554966076972 N.B: Intro & Outro music by Udio AI music GeneratorSupport the show
