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.

"Exclusively for For the sole purpose of engine radiator cooling purposes, it is permitted to remove the outermost non-metallic

Appendix P. Racing Room & Passing Guidelines
Revised January 2022

guidelines defining racing room and passing etiquette. Randy Pobst is a SCCA Hall of Fame member, a National
Road Racing and Solo Champion, professional driver champion, and a very experienced driver’s coach. Terry

and is the current Driver Orientation Manager for the Trans Am Series.
The guidelines were created by Randy and Terry based on decades of racing experience and driver coaching.
The guidelines represent what the Club Road Racing Program’s intent is for General Competition Rules Section
6.11., Rules of the Road.
1. Racing Room & Passing Guidelines
Safe, successful passing is based on what drivers can see. An overtaking car bears the largest percentage of
responsibly for passing safely.
2. Peripheral Vision
The overtaking car (the car attempting a pass) must get into the peripheral vision of the lead car (the car being
passed) in the brake zone before the lead car turns for the corner. Once the lead car turns for the corner, it
can no longer see the trailing car, because the lead car’s mirrors now point outside, and the lead car is looking
toward the apex.
Figure 1
Figure 1 shows that the overtaking car has gotten up to the A pillar and into the peripheral view of the lead car
before turn in. The overtaking car now has taken the line away and earned the right to racing room on the
inside.
To earn the corner, the overtaking car must have its front end up to at least the A pillar post, or windshield,
with the car under control, before the lead car turns into the corner. The goal is for the overtaking car to
present itself, to arrive in the peripheral vision of the lead car, before it turns in.
Open Wheel and Sports Racer Overlap
An overtaking open‐wheel car or sports racer should have its leading edge of the front tire up to at least the
lead car’s trailing edge of the front tire (within the leading car peripheral vision) before the lead car begins its
turn in (Figure 2). The bodywork configuration of many new formula and sports racer prototypes almost
encapsulate the driver from view by other drivers. That is why it is important to get the overtaking car that far
up into the lead car’s peripheral vision.
Figure 2
3. The Blind Spot
Figure 3
Figure 3 shows at the lead car’s turn in point the overtaking car has yet to get even with the A pillar and into
the peripheral vision of the lead car. The overtaking car is in a blind spot. Do not pass unless the lead car is
much slower and gives racing room.
4. Racing Room
Should the lead car decide to ‘go with him’, side‐by‐side, then both cars must allow each other racing room, at
least a car width plus six inches or so, to the edges of the racing surface. In both cases, the trailing car must be
in the lead car’s peripheral vision to safely hold position. If not in vision, then the trailing car must back off and
follow, because the lead car cannot see it.
The biggest mistake, and a common cause of contact, is the overtaking car taking a shortcut to the apex, from
that blind spot (Turn One at Road Atlanta is classic). Pull parallel to the lead car, and as close as safely possible
so that he KNOWS you are there. Sometimes, the lead car may turn in early; therefore, the overtaking car
must be under enough control to avoid contact.
5. Passing on Straights
On straights, the lead car is allowed “one safe move” (Figure 4). It can choose a side, but cannot move back,
and cannot move over in reaction to an overtaking car if late enough to invite contact. It must leave a car’s
width (plus 6 inches) of racing room if the overtaking car has already committed in that direction and has
achieved an overlap next to the leader. No weaving to break the draft or to block; that is more than one move.
On straights, as opposed to corner entry, it is possible for the lead car to look into its mirrors and see the
overtaking car, so if the overtaking car gets even a small overlap next to the lead car, the lead car must give the
overtaking car room to race, and can no longer move across the track.
Figure 4
When being passed, hold your line. This means be predictable, and do not change your line to pull out of the
way. ‘Hold your line’ does not mean take the line for the apex and turn in front when a much faster car is
approaching. Be aware of faster traffic and leave a lane of racing room for them.
6. Overlap on Straights at Turn In
If there is continuous overlap (Figure 5) next to the lead car when the turn in point is reached, the lead car
must give the trailing car room to race. The lead car can no longer move completely down to the apex. It is not
ok to cut across to the apex and likely into the trailing car’s nose. The car was there all the way down the
straight and it is not going to suddenly disappear. There now is shared responsibility to avoid contact between
the cars.
Figure 5
7. The Vortex of Danger
The Entry Vortex of Danger (Figure 6) is a triangle inscribed by the turn‐in point of the lead car, the apex, and
the inside edge of the road. Trailing car, do not take a short cut to the apex. If you do, chances are the lead car
does not see you. When overtaking, keep out of the Vortex of Danger. It is too late to pass. The hole you see
is closing rapidly, you are in a blind spot, there will likely be contact, and it will be your fault.
Figure 6
The Exit Vortex of Danger (Figure 7) is a triangle inscribed by the apex, the track‐out point of the lead car, and
the outside edge of the road. When attempting a pass on the outside, be aware of the Exit Vortex of Danger,
and back out of it if not in the lead car’s vision. It is too late to safely pass. The hole you see on the outside is
closing rapidly, you are in a blind spot, there will likely be contact, and it will be your fault.
Figure 7
8. The Outside Pass
Figure 8
On this outside pass attempt (Figure 8), the overtaking outside car never presents itself into the vision of the
lead car and cannot expect it to make room for a car it cannot see at the exit of the turn. So, the outside
trailing car must back off to leave racing room for the inside lead car that cannot see it and avoid the Exit
Vortex of Danger. In this situation, if the outside car makes contact or runs off the road, it is most likely their
fault.
Turn 5 at Road America is a prime example of where a lead car may protect his line by not using all the track on
the right. The overtaking car, in this example, needs to clearly 'present himself' in the braking zone before turn
in, because the lead car is looking into the corner, not at his right mirror, and in all probability will not leave
racing room at the exit. Outside passing works well when both drivers have excellent spatial awareness but is
a very low percentage move in most cases.
Safe, successful passing depends on what a driver can see. Do not hit what you can see!
