FP vs FE2 vs STU pace at every track

Lap times across years say as much about the weather as the class. % of FP is each class's best lap as a share of FP'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.

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 FP'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.
