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

C-Spec Please Classify the 2000 Mazda Protege ES in T5

#33979 from Steve Strickland · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-06 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. The cars requested do not fit in the current philosophy of C-Spec and are a better fit in other classes.

2022-05-01 FP Request to classify the 1999-2000 Mazda Protege in FP

#32398 from STEVE STRICKLAND · Rule change · TB 22-05 (2022-04 Fastrack)

In FP Spec Lines, classify the Mazda Protégé ES (99-00) as follows:

A specification table follows in the original; it is not shown here.

HP Please Consider Classifying the 1999-2000 Mazda Protege in HP

#31658 from STEVE STRICKLAND · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-01 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter, but this vehicle is not recommended for HP. Its engine is comparable to the other Protege's that are
already in FP, and it is believed it would gain too much when built to Prep 2 Prod rules, to fit into HP at a reasonable weight for
the class. It could be considered for FP, if requested.
