Hmmm. Porsche had the fastest GTLM lap of the race AND the fastest average lap time of the class, too.

Unfortunately, it's not all in the numbers...

pretty amazing that the first 4 cars in that gtlm list have a avg laptime (of their top20 laps) within .1s

note the difference in trapspeed of the two Ford GT cars that's a pretty big deviation... especially compared to the top Porsche, corvette and the 3rd ford

And THAT'S why they don't give out the trophies based on qualifying!

And THEREIN lies the reason why EVERY driver needs to be able to do laps within a few tenths themselves, for a whole session...

What's up with the Rs? Is it a setup issue, driving issue, or do we need a BOP adjustment?
