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
B-Spec Feedback on Letter #35466
#35905 from Steven Pounds · No action required · Minutes (2024-05 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The updated offset rules were written specifically to allow differences in offset front to rear in order
to assist in fitment with the wider Goodyear tires, which some vehicles were having clearance issues with. While allowing
different offsets front to rear does allow the use of wheel stagger as a chassis tuning tool, wheel spacers are not an expensive
purchase and it is a chassis tuning method the committee is perfectly fine with allowing racers to explore.

B-Spec Tire Rules
#35462 from Steven Pounds · No action required · Minutes (2024-04 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The committee selected the spec tire that most closely aligned with the results of the survey that was
sent out to the class. Contingency was noted as one of the lowest priority parameters for the selection of the new tire with cost
and longevity being among the highest.
B-Spec Resource Issue
#34285 from Steven Pounds · No action required · Minutes (2023-06 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Your observation is duly noted. The addition of C-Spec did add a considerable amount of work to
the BSAC agenda, however, that committee is best suited to oversee this project and agreed to shoulder the burden. The
CRB is working with the BSAC to make this as painless as possible.

B-Spec Update Wheel and Spacer Offset Rule
#33642 from Steven Pounds · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The current rules pertaining to wheel and spacer offset are sufficient. Allowing different sized spacers
at each corner, even if the total offset including wheel is identical, creates an unnecessary hurdle for enforcement.
