Why iRacers Can’t Race In Traffic (And How To Fix It)

This week on The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we tackle one of the biggest missing skills in the entire service:

Why iRacers can’t race in traffic.

Most drivers can hotlap. Most drivers can qualify.
 But the moment a race becomes side-by-side, nose-to-tail, or Lap 1 chaos in a big field… everything falls apart.

Using this week’s Ringmeister series and the hidden Legacy gem — the Legacy Mazda Pro — we break down why traffic causes so many crashes, why the mindset of drivers becomes dangerous, and how YOU can become one of the rare iRacers who gains positions simply by staying calm and making smart decisions.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why Ringmeister becomes a crashfest (especially Lap 1)
• The 4 dangerous types of traffic drivers (and how to survive them)
• What traffic skill actually is
• A complete “traffic survival system” you can use in any series
• How to practice traffic skill without ruining races
• Why momentum cars like the Legacy Mazda Pro punish impatience

Because here’s the truth:
 You don’t lose iRating because you’re slow… you lose it because you can’t drive near people.
