Lap Times
Best cars and lap times at Daytona International Speedway
How real driver pace is distributed at Daytona International Speedway in Le Mans Ultimate. Tiers are percentiles of the actual field, so a badge means the same thing on every circuit and nobody falls off the scale.
For which car to drive rather than how fast you are, jump to best cars at Daytona International Speedway: the fastest setup-shop lap, the race win, pick and podium leaders, and the car that gives up least between its mid-pack and its quick drivers.

Per-car driveability
How far a mid-pack driver falls behind the quick drivers in the same car. Narrow is forgiving, wide is demanding. Not a speed ranking: each car is measured against its own top 5%, because which drivers pick a car distorts its outright pace.
Median by driver rating Bronze 3 1:48.940 Silver 1 1:47.707 Silver 2+ 1:46.606
Each driver counts once, at the median lap of their best race here. Half that race's laps were quicker, so the figure reads as sustained pace rather than one low-fuel flyer. You will beat your own marker on individual laps. Everyone on the curve will too, which is why a handful of quick laps does not move you a tier up.

Best Cars at Daytona International Speedway
Distributions answer "am I fast". This answers "what should I drive", from setup-shop pace, official win, pick and podium rates, and how much pace each car gives up between its quick and its mid-pack drivers.
No single car wins on all of them. How these rankings are built.
Best GT3 at Daytona International Speedway
open setupThe fastest GT3 setup lap at Daytona International Speedway is the Ferrari 296 GT3 (01:44.509, GO). On open setup, the most forgiving GT3 is the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: a mid-pack driver gives up 1.18s to the quick drivers in it, against 2.10s in the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo, over the 7 cars with enough drivers to measure.
Not enough official race results at this layout yet to rank win rate, pick rate or podiums. The setup-shop and per-car benchmarks below are still tracked.

Widest is the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo at 2.10s. Measured on open setup, over the 7 cars with enough drivers. Not a speed ranking: each car is measured against its own quick drivers, so this says how hard a car is to extract pace from, not how fast it is.

The quickest lap anyone has reached in each car, sorted so you can find your own. It is a best-of, so it improves with how many people have raced the car: a car 2,000 drivers have run shows a better lap than an equally quick car 200 have run. Read it as a target, not as a ranking of the cars. Race figures are single laps, the quickest anyone has set in that car in a race of that length, so they sit quicker than the sustained pace on the curve above.
