Lap Times

Best cars and lap times at Imola

How real driver pace is distributed at Imola 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 Imola: 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.

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 Imola

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.

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.

Best Hypercar at Imola

open setup

The fastest Hypercar setup lap at Imola is the Lamborghini SC63 (01:29.071, GO). On open setup, the Peugeot 9X8 and Genesis GMR-001 are level as the most forgiving Hypercars: a mid-pack driver gives up about 1.50s to the quick drivers in the same car, against 2.12s in the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH, over the 9 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.
