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
FA Request for Swift 016a Adjustments
#29853 from Richard Zober · Not recommended · Minutes (2021-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The Club Racing Board does not recommend these changes. Data obtained during the 2020 National
Championship Runoffs confirms that the Swift 016a's acceleration rate is fully in line with and at no disadvantage to the
acceleration rate of the Swift 014a – Mazda MZR 2.0, so adjustments to the 016a's intake restrictor and minimum weight are not
warranted at this time.
