Against the front of the class, by track and class

Track	Class	Sessions	Typical gap to class best	Closest
Road America (4.05 mi)	GT3	37	+0.000s (0.00%)	+0.000s (0.00%)
Road America (4.05 mi)	GT3U	4	+8.748s (6.04%)	+6.933s (4.66%)
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (2.26 mi)	GT3	6	+4.742s (5.17%)	+2.813s (3.09%)

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.

Letters to Fastrack

FP GT3 Mazda RX-7

#39792 from George Cichon · Not recommended · Minutes (2026-03 Fastrack)

The Road Racing Competition Committee has no desire to add GT3 cars and/or rotary prep into the GTL/FP classifications at this
time. The RX7 has a GTL classification (see Appendix N), and any examples that wish to race as such would need to be prepped
to that ruleset.
