How the Mazda MX-5 in PCC Gained Me 300 iRating – iRacing’s Hidden Gem Just Got Wetter

 Not every race is won with horsepower. Sometimes, it's your mind that wins it for you. In this episode of the Lone Road iRacers Podcast, we’re diving into a series that’s become my proving ground: the Production Car Challenge. Driving the Mazda MX-5 Cup this season, I’ve gained over 300 iRating, not by being the fastest, but by staying smart—and staying clean. But just when I thought I had it mastered, iRacing threw in a curveball: rain. Late-race showers, shifting grip, and chaos in every corner. Let’s break down why this combination of momentum racing and unpredictable weather is one of the best experiences iRacing has to offer.

Our second subject on todays podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the most extreme, misunderstood, and underutilized combinations in sim racing: Monza with the Oval configuration. It’s fast, it’s furious, and it’s a time capsule of motorsport history that most drivers skip over without ever giving it a second thought. But why does Monza have an oval at all? And how does it fit with the more commonly used GP layout? Today, we’re diving into the legacy of this legendary hybrid track and what makes it so brutally challenging in iRacing.
