The iRacing Process: Why I Stopped Chasing Results

What if the fastest way to improve your iRating… is to stop chasing it?

In this episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, Guy Robertson looks back at the process that has taken his Formula iRating from just over 2,000 to more than 4,300, and why that same approach is now beginning to produce significant gains in Sports Cars.

And this isn't theory.

During one evening racing the Radical at the Nürburgring, three races produced three completely different outcomes:

🏁 P26 → P22 | -44 iRating after contact and an 8-minute repair
🏁 P23 → P10 | +38 iRating
🏁 P19 → P6 | +59 iRating

Overall: +53 iRating

But the most important thing wasn't the number.

The process never changed.

This episode explores how a Quality mindset can be applied to iRacing through consistency, repeatability, reproducibility and continuous improvement.

We discuss:

• Why one bad result doesn't necessarily mean you raced badly
 • Process vs outcome
 • How small decisions compound over hundreds of races
 • Why Guy stopped trying to win every race
 • The philosophy behind Bank the Result
• How to manage risk without becoming passive
• Why reviewing your races matters
• Plan, Do, Check, Act applied to sim racing
• Why you don't necessarily need paid setups to make major gains
• How the same approach is now transferring from Formula to Sports Cars

Perhaps the question isn't:

“How do I gain iRating?”

Perhaps it's:

“How do I become the kind of driver who gains iRating over hundreds of races?”
