DME range 1 numbers

Ive come across a car that has 30K miles, the DME showed no range 2 over revs but 57,000 ignitions in range 1. I know the car has seen quite a bit of track time and realise this is a high number for range 1. The consensus seems to be that range 1 does not cause any engine damage and is triggered by hitting the rev limiter. Some threads I've read suggest range 1 can also be triggered by running close to the rev limit but not actually hitting it?
Looking for clarification on this. I'm not looking for a museum piece, I want to enjoy the car for what it was built for (to be driven hard on the track) but would like opinions on this number of range 1 being detrimental or not.
Thanks

cub10, Take a look at the first few topics in this forum.

This contains a lot of info on the DME readout which was very helpful for me when I bought my GT3.
Good luck, Tom
