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-inflicted
- Strategy differences between short tracks and long circuits
- When aggression helps — and when it destroys your race
- How emotional driving kills results
- Why “doing nothing” is sometimes the fastest strategy of all
If you’ve ever wondered why your pace doesn’t match your finishing positions — this episode is for you.
