Against the front of the class, by track and class
| Track | Class | Sessions | Typical gap to class best | Closest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (2.40 mi) | SM | 10 | +3.059s (2.97%) | +2.111s (2.03%) |
| Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (2.26 mi) | SM | 10 | +2.367s (2.35%) | +1.669s (1.63%) |
| Grattan Raceway (2.00 mi) | SM | 4 | +2.261s (2.57%) | +1.865s (2.12%) |
| Unknown track (2.14 mi) | SM | 2 |
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.
