Against the front of the class, by track and class
| Track | Class | Sessions | Typical gap to class best | Closest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virginia International Raceway (3.27 mi) | T4 | 5 | +2.674s (2.01%) | +1.592s (1.21%) |
| Unknown track (3.27 mi) | T4 | 5 | +3.289s (2.51%) | +2.735s (2.10%) |
| Virginia International Raceway | STU | 1 |
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.

Club Sanctioned Contact Rules
#35026 from Jeff Giordano · No action required · Minutes (2023-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. SCCA takes contact seriously. Over the past few years SCCA has instituted various changes to address
contact and driver behavior on track. APPENDIX P. RACING ROOM & PASSING GUIDELINES was added to the GCR, and forward-
facing cameras are required in all SCCA road race events. Drivers and entrants have had the right to protest contact for many
years even if contact is not reported. SCCA has tracked driver behavior for many years and has also implemented a
comprehensive driver points/tracking system.
