fast lap
Speediest track round
A fast lap is a lap around a racetrack completed in minimal time.
In motorsports and track athletics, it typically refers to a driver's or runner's quickest circuit during a session, qualifying round, or race: Hamilton set the fast lap on his final attempt.
The term emphasizes speed relative to other laps rather than an absolute standard.
