In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast , Guy Robertson explores one of the most common but least talked about challenges in sim racing: the fear of racing online. Inspired by a heartfelt email from listener Martin, we discuss why so many iRacers struggle with confidence, even when they have the pace, and why practising against AI can only take you so far. Whether you're new to iRacing, returning after time away, or simply lacking confidence to race wheel-to-wheel, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you overcome the mental barriers holding you back. In this episode: • Why online racing can feel intimidating • AI racing vs real online competition • Building confidence behind the wheel • Developing racecraft in official races • Learning from mistakes without fear • The confidence trap that keeps drivers in Test Drive • Why every experienced iRacer once felt exactly the same Remember...
