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 350Z has been racing in the SCCA for 15 years. There have been numerous national
championships won with the 350Z in this time. Kulach, Hines, Stout, Williams, and others have had great success with these
cars. The knowledge to make these cars work properly is out there. We are sympathetic about your concerns, but we're afraid
to open Pandora's box. Racing ABS adds complexity and cost that shouldn't be incurred in T3.
