Which do you prefer, lap times or miles per hour?

Question

I'm listening to the radio and they're giving the top 5 practice speeds in mph. As far as I'm concerned this is almost meaningless. I much prefer lap times.

Answer 1

mph

Answer 2

yea lap times would help alot better

Answer 3

lap times... miles per hour mean almost nothing

Answer 4

Average lap speed.

Answer 5

i agree with you...

Answer 6

MPH is down with the new car.

They don't discuss MPH as much now because you are watching slower cars.

Watch IRL. Better

Answer 7

it depends on the context in which i am comparing the competitors at that moment.

Answer 8

both at the same time

and average lap speed

Answer 9

I think lap times are more important.  It tells you more about how well you are doing in the race as opposed to how well your car is running.

Answer 10

Lap times.  I suppose it is all what you are used to.  But, lap times are better to me.  I can visualize what is going on better (drop off, distance back) with lap times.  And, it helps me calculate how long the race should run (with out cautions that is!)
