Lap Times

Best cars and lap times at Silverstone

How real driver pace is distributed at Silverstone 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 Silverstone: 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 Silverstone

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 Silverstone

open setup

The fastest GT3 setup lap at Silverstone is the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 (01:57.387, HY). By race win rate, the BMW M4 GT3 leads at 36% over 281 races. On open setup, the most forgiving GT3 is the Ferrari 296 GT3: a mid-pack driver gives up 2.61s to the quick drivers in it, against 3.92s in the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2, over the 10 cars with enough drivers to measure.

Widest is the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 at 3.92s. Measured on open setup, over the 10 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.

Best Hypercar at Silverstone

open setup

The fastest Hypercar setup lap at Silverstone is the Isotta Fraschini Tipo 6 LMH-C (01:41.789, HY). By race win rate, the BMW M Hybrid V8 leads at 37.3% over 120 races. On open setup, the most forgiving Hypercar is the Genesis GMR-001: a mid-pack driver gives up 1.99s to the quick drivers in it, against 3.23s in the Ferrari 499P, over the 8 cars with enough drivers to measure.
