In this explosive episode of The Lone Road iRacing Podcast, we dive into one of the most heated topics in sim racing: Safety Rating.

But this isn’t another “SR is broken” rant.
 Oh no.
 Today, we’re looking at 10 controversial, outrageous, and surprisingly logical ideas that could actually fix the Safety Rating system — and transform the iRacing experience for everyone.

From seasonal driving tests and public safety scorecards… to AI marshals, risk-based SR, class bans, safety co-op modes and more — this episode challenges the entire philosophy behind how iRacing measures behaviour and punishes bad driving.

Whether you agree, disagree, or rage-quit halfway through…
 You’ll definitely have something to say after this one.
