FE2 vs FC vs FM vs FF pace at every track
Lap times across years say as much about the weather as the class. % of FE2 is each class's best lap as a share of FE2's on the same day, so the conditions drop out: 100% is level, less is quicker, and a move in it is the class getting faster or slower against the field.
Quickest here: FE2 1:35.040 Flinn Lazier, Runoffs 2018 qualifying · FC 1:21.962 John LaRue, Runoffs 2016 qualifying · FM 1:26.043 Jacob Loomis, Runoffs 2016 qualifying · FF 1:29.213 Neil Verhagen, Runoffs 2016 qualifying

About this data
Every event the class ran, at any track, oldest to newest on the chart and newest first in the table. Each point is the class's best lap as a share of FE2's best on the same day: the weather, the track and its configuration cancel out, so one figure compares across tracks and years where lap times cannot. It still moves when the yardstick's own balance changes or its field thins, and an event the yardstick did not run has no point. A best from fewer than three cars is greyed. The rule changes that took effect between two events are folded between their rows.
