Race against your own best run
Ghost Racer records every keystroke of your best race and replays it as a see-through ghost car. Type the passage to drive. Finish first and your run becomes the new ghost, so there's always a target that's exactly as fast as you are.
Your first race is against a steady pace car. After that, every race is a personal best attempt, which makes it one of the most motivating ways to push your WPM a little higher each time.
