Value Rank is not Performance Rank. GVL rewards performance retention first, then market price, ownership condition and evidence confidence.

A broader market, not just this year's releases

GVL now ranks 48 drivers across the 2023–2026 model window. Older models remain eligible when they still deliver strong performance and have a representative, liquid market price.
