Events

This track has been raced on 2 configurations (19, 2.92 mi; 3.02 mi). Laps on different configurations are not comparable, so only events on the 2.92 mile layout are shown; switch above to see the others.

Sectors are not comparable across all of these events. Sector times and the theoretical lap use Super Tour Apr 2017, Cal Club 2022 only. Super Tour Feb 2020 (sectors cut at different points) counts towards whole-lap times and trap speed only.

2 laps are left out as timing errors (far too short to be a lap of this track). The rest of those sessions, sectors included, is used.

One row per driver and car (a driver who changed cars has a row for each). Each cell is that driver's best in that car across the selected events, with the session it was set in. Best 5-lap stint is the mean of the driver's quickest five consecutive race laps, and consistency is how far their median race lap sat behind their best in that race (small is a driver who does it every lap); both come from the race with the best stint. The fastest in each column is purple, and a car whose best lap is more than 115% of the fastest in its class is greyed (marked ">115%" beside the driver) and left out of the colour scale. Click a column to sort, a row to highlight it. Theoretical lap is the sum of the best sectors, whichever laps they came from, and never slower than the best lap (where a car's fastest laps were recorded without sector times, its best lap is used). The 115% mark is about the car's best lap only: a car whose best lap is within 115% of the fastest in its class is never marked. Greyed sectors with no theoretical lap mean the sector times on file do not add up to a believable lap. Letters refer to the events above; Q is qualifying, R a race.

Sectors

Sectors are numbered in lap order from start/finish, whatever each event's timing called them; the loop names are SCCA timing's.

Devices that interact with the throttle, ignition, or fuel system during a shift operation (for example: ignitions cuts, flat shifters,
blippers) are permitted, but no such devices shall remove the driver's control of the gear change initiation, gear selection or
completion. The burden of proving that a device is in compliance with this rule shall be upon the competitor."

oriented either horizontally or vertically either parallel or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car and must be accessible
from the exterior of the car with the driver on board -- it should have a view of the sky and not be located under carbon fiber or
metallic bodywork. Sufficient space should be left between the mounting plate and the surface to which it is attached to permit
the use of zip ties/tie straps to restrain the data box to the mounting plate. The purpose of this requirement is to allow the

the race track. Contact AIM and their distributors for direct purchase."
