If you could go back to the day you first joined iRacing and give your rookie self five minutes of advice, what would you say?
After nearly six years on iRacing, Guy looks back at the lessons that turned out to matter most. And surprisingly, they're not really about finding more lap time.

Own your mistakes and apologise.
Find smarter ways to overtake instead of relying on the divebomb.
Make good iRacing friends.
And above all... keep having fun.
We also look at our obsession with iRating and Safety Rating, why losing a position doesn't necessarily mean losing the battle, how racecraft develops with experience and why the people we meet can become one of the best parts of sim racing.
Then in this week's iRacing Agony Uncle:

We discuss braking earlier, reading the cars further ahead, recognising dangerous situations before they develop, leaving yourself an escape route, being predictable and changing your opening-lap objective from gaining positions to simply:
