Does reaching A Class in iRacing actually mean you're a better, cleaner or more respectful racing driver?
When we first start iRacing, it's easy to imagine the licence ladder as a progression in driving ability. Rookie is where the chaos happens, D Class is where we're learning, C and B Class are increasingly experienced, and A Class is where everyone surely knows what they're doing.
But is that really what happens?
In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson explores the difference between our perception of the iRacing licence system and the reality of racing across Rookie, D, C, B and A Class.
We discuss why higher-licence drivers still make mistakes, why divebombs, poor judgement, frustration and road rage don't magically disappear at A Class, and why a lower licence doesn't necessarily mean poor racecraft.
The big lesson?
Race the driver. Not the badge.
We also look at the difference between Safety Rating, licence class, iRating and genuine racecraft, and why none of them individually tells you everything about the person you're racing.
This week's iRacing Agony Uncle
"I can't stop divebombing!"
A listener admits they've taken out several drivers by lunging into gaps and wants to change their racecraft.
We explore practical ways to break the habit, including one simple question to ask before attempting an overtake:
"If the other car disappeared right now, could I still make the corner?"
Plus, during the mid-show break, Guy introduces Project Apex, the new home for The Lone Road Podcast and the beginning of something much bigger.
Learn. Adapt. Improve.
