Too Afraid to Ask

A lap is when a car goes all the way around the racetrack once. Races are usually measured by how many laps the drivers complete.

Technical Definition

In racing, a lap refers to one complete circuit around the track. The number of laps in a race can vary, and the total distance is often measured in laps.
