Ranked races should receive a huge change or be dismissed

I have been loving the ranked races and think im nearing the elite level. the trick is you must have a perfect setup dialed for the tracks and in the 1 lap qual you must kill it to start top 5 and away from crappy drivers who divebomb and such. in the ranked races if you are always starting mid field or further back it means you need a better setup and more practice on the track to get quicker. watch the lines of the fastest guys on youtube like opmeer and copy their lines. and copy their setups
