Against the front of the class, by track and class

Track	Class	Sessions	Typical gap to class best	Closest
Road America (4.05 mi)	T4	5	+7.663s (4.71%)	+4.372s (2.68%)

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.
