Track configuration
Events all

This track has been raced on 2 configurations (Classic 25 CCW, 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.

FE has no laps in the events chosen. It ran at Super Tour Apr 2019, Super Tour Apr 2018, Super Tour Apr 2017: add those events.

Sectors are not comparable across all of these events. Sector times and the theoretical lap use Super Tour Feb 2022, Super Tour Feb 2024 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.

About this data
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.

As printed in Fastrack

In FE, GCR section 9.1.1.I.2.F.g, change as follows:
"The front wing main plane, front wing secondary elements, front wing support mounts, and front wing endplates assembly and
its related mounting components must be used and mounted as delivered from Enterprises. Any m Modifications to these parts,
except as specifically noted herein, is strictly forbidden are prohibited. The front main wing plane angle is zeroed on the rear
upper aft transmission surface measured with a suitable angle gauge, i.e.: digital level on the top main plane 2 inches outward
from the nose box mounts element may be adjusted +2.5 to -0.5 degrees. It must meet a minimum measurement of negative .5
degrees (angled down in the back) and a maximum measurement of positive 2.5 degrees (angled up in the back). It is acceptable
to shim the main plane to obtain this measurement. Shimming 2 of the 4 verticals through the main element mounting points to
achieve adjustment range is allowed. The main element angle is measured relative to the reference plane. The main element is
checked on the upper surface, midway between the vertical mounting and outer secondary elements on both sides. Note: The
reference plane is the machined surface where the shock clevises are attached to the transmission case. Secondary wing
elements may be used in any of the provided adjustment holes. Gurney flaps (0.500" +/- 0.030") are permitted allowed as an
option for installation on the trailing edge upper surface of the front wing on secondary elements only, not the wing main
plane. They Gurney flaps must be securely attached in a secure fashion, without modification to the wing element except for
mounting hardware. Only .500” +/- .030” flaps are allowed. Maximum number of mounting locations on front flaps is 2 on each
flap and maximum hardware size is with two #8 (.156) hardware or tape. Gurney flaps, where attached, shall be are bent or
formed 90 degrees to have a sharp inner radiusand parallel to the upper surface of the wing element and. no t Tapered or "saw-
toothed" Gurneys flaps are not permitted. Gurney flaps are measured for total height as mounted from the upper surface of the
element."

transmission surface, measured with a suitable angle gauge. i.e.; digital level on the top surface of the lower rear wing must
meet a minimum of –3.0 degrees (angled down in the back) and a maximum of +2.0 degrees (angled up in the back). It is
acceptable to adjust the lower rear element to meet these requirements element may be adjusted +2.0 to -3.0
degrees. Chamfering the upper inner corners of the wing mounting brackets to achieve the adjustment range is allowed. The
element angle is measured relative to the reference plane. The element is checked on the top surface, near the center, without a
Gurney flap. Note: The reference plane is the machined surface where the shock clevises are attached to the transmission
case. The upper rear wing element may only be adjusted within the parameter profile of the wing endplates and wing adjusters
as provided from Enterprises using any of the provided adjustment holes. No additional holes may be added. Gurney
flaps (0.250" +/- 0.030") are permitted allowed as an optionfor installation on the trailing edge upper surface of the on one or
both wing elements. They Gurney flaps must be securely attached in a secure fashion, without modification to the wing element
