Against the front of the class, by track and class

Track	Class	Sessions	Typical gap to class best	Closest
Road America (4.01 mi)	T3	7	+6.878s (4.11%)	+4.187s (2.72%)

Gap is the driver's best lap in a session against the fastest lap in their class in that same session (zero is fastest in class), shown as time lost and as a share of the lap, so conditions cancel out and tracks can be compared. Typical is the median session.
