HAHAHAA my pitiful GTR rank has me scraping the bottom of the list. But
there is a Finn only about 15 seconds ahead of me. So my GOAL in life, is
to beat at least one Finlander in GTR rank. Hopefully Jussi is all done
with GTR and won't know I'm sneaking up on him. Of course...I have to find
16 seconds of SPEED first...

Dave Henrie's light-hearted quest to climb GTRank
Dave Henrie joked that his goal was to beat at least one Finnish driver on GTRank, the lap-time ranking for GTR. Others offered tongue-in-cheek tips such as running time acceleration to rubber in the track. He later reported passing two Finns and getting out of the bottom of the US ranks.
Automated summary.

You could try finding a couple mph of speed in order to gain a couple
seconds of time. Racecars are governed by Newtonian physics afterall.

Hehe ;-) fire up a race session, click on time acceleration and have the
AI lay down some rubber for you. ;-)

Dang! That's sooo devious I'm suprised I didn't think of it already.
It's like loading .1(1 tenth) of a gallon and then turning off fuel use.

I have a feeling the track in an 'Open Test Session' is fully laden with
rubber. It certainly feels a hell of a lot stickier than when I go to race
or qualify.
