Against the front of the class, by track and class
| Track | Class | Sessions | Typical gap to class best | Closest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sebring International Raceway (3.74 mi) | T4 | 5 | +1.692s (1.11%) | +1.399s (0.91%) |
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.

Request to Change Runoffs Eligability Cutoff
#25516 from Raymond Blethen IV · Recommended to the Board · Minutes (2019-03 Fastrack)
Committee Recommends.
Change second paragraph of GCR 3.7.4.A.1.a to read as follows: ...A driver may substitute
two Regional-sanctioned weekends for one of his three Majors weekend participation
requirements. Eligible Regional weekends shall occur between January 1 of that year and a
date not less than two three weeks prior to the start of the Runoffs or as otherwise specified in
the Runoffs supplemental regulations. Endurance races are not eligible.
Request to Add Victory Laps
#25514 from Raymond Blethen IV · Not recommended · Minutes (2019-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your request. Regions are encouraged to offer victory laps in their schedule
now. Mandating Victory Laps for groups that have many individual classes in each group will
take away from other groups racing time and cause schedules to run long triggering overtime
costs for some regions.
