Against the front of the class, by track and class

Track	Class	Sessions	Typical gap to class best	Closest
Road America (4.05 mi)	EP	6	+9.801s (6.57%)	+5.960s (4.03%)
Road America (4.05 mi)	FP	32	+11.240s (7.29%)	+5.277s (3.40%)
Road America	FP	1
Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2.59 mi)	FP	7	+9.860s (8.22%)	+6.196s (5.58%)

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.
