Lap times refer to the amount of time it takes for a vehicle, typically a race car or sports car, to complete one lap around a racetrack. This measurement is used in various forms of motorsports as well as in automotive testing and development to evaluate the performance capabilities of vehicles. Lap times can be compared between different cars, tracks, or conditions to determine which vehicle or track configuration is faster. In addition, lap times are often used to rank drivers based on their ability to set fast times around a particular circuit.
