Well, the site is IMO the most accurate as a collective of lap times as you can get. Every registered lap is verifiable with a source usually either established by factory drivers, legit journalist, reputable drivers and various print media. The site is well moderated, since everyone can submit a claimed time but only the verifiable ones stays. ---
