Against the front of the class, by track and class
| Track | Class | Sessions | Typical gap to class best | Closest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Road America (4.05 mi) | B-Spec | 22 | +4.122s (2.37%) | +2.112s (1.21%) |
| Road America | B-Spec | 1 | +4.354s (2.50%) | +4.354s (2.50%) |
| Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2.59 mi) | B-Spec | 4 | +6.223s (5.04%) | +4.191s (3.38%) |
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.
