The record book
Records
The FIA WEC record book, computed from the official timing data in our archive: the fastest laps ever recorded at every circuit the championship has raced, by class and by year, and the all-time leaderboards for wins, poles and podiums since the championship returned in 2012.
The shortest lap in the book: 1:18.367 at Interlagos by André Lotterer in 2014.
15 circuits
Lap records by circuit
The outright fastest lap our timing data holds for each circuit, across every class and era the WEC has raced there. Each page breaks the record down by class and traces it year by year.

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on these pages is computed from the official timing and classification data in our archive, which covers the FIA World Endurance Championship from its first season in 2012 to today. Record laps are official best laps from results documents; the lap-by-lap feed is used only to identify which driver set them.
The scope is the WEC alone. Lap times from other series at the same circuits, and Le Mans races before 2012, are outside this record book. Qualifying records list only sessions where official per-car best laps were published, so some early-era qualifying cells are empty rather than estimated.
