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.

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 the slug henrie

Of course...I have to find 16 seconds of SPEED first... 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. ;-) uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

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. :) dave henrie

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. -- Andi.
