Too Afraid to Ask

A lap is when a car goes all the way around the racetrack once. The more laps a driver completes, the more practice they get.

Technical Definition

In racing, a lap refers to one complete circuit around the track. The number of laps completed is an important metric for assessing a car's performance during testing or a race.
