| Track | Class | Sessions | Typical gap to class best | Closest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buttonwillow Raceway Park (2.57 mi) | HP | 6 | +3.354s (2.69%) | +0.000s (0.00%) |
| Buttonwillow Raceway Park (2.92 mi) | HP | 10 | +9.224s (7.41%) | +6.851s (5.53%) |
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.

Thank you for your letter. The two Toyota Yaris generations have the same drivetrain, brakes, and coefficient of
drag, their wheelbase, track, and height dimensions are all within one inch of each other, and both chassis'
have been very successfully campaigned. The similarities are so great, that there isn't enough reason to treat their
classifications differently.
