for whom "going negative" is but a distant dream.
1. Get a ranking. The toughest part is that you have to complete a
whole lap in something at the Ring.
2. Go to the 107% page. 107% has been a requirement in F1 to make
the grid. Using the Papyrus standard times as a benchmark, 107% at
Monza is 1:36.51. You can do that, and the line changes from yellow
to green :-).
3. Go for 107% against Papyrus at more tracks. The Glen is 1:11.59,
Silverstone is 1:37.27. The Ring is 8:57.07. Watch the lines change
from yellow to green :-).
4. At this point your rank is likely less than 100 (107% at all
tracks exactly would be about a 106). Further challenges include
getting a Monster rank or knocking off 107% at a least a couple of
tracks against the world records. Monza is 1:32.17, the Glen is
1:07.65. Go for average. The GPL average rank is 64.
Past that you shouldn't be reading this :-). You're fast.
