JABWOA should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Even iRacing has now jumped on board with a globalised hot lapping system (Time Attack) but nothing beats GPLRank.

For me, it was a two pronged attack - 1) beat the benchmark time and get that negative GPL rank time. 2) see how you compare to others around the world especially if friends were also on there. I was never going to be near the top but felt good when I once made the top 100 in Australia
