Too Afraid to Ask

A track record is the best time a car has ever completed a lap on a racetrack. If someone breaks the track record, it means they went even faster than before.

Technical Definition

A track record refers to the fastest time recorded for a specific vehicle on a racetrack. Breaking a track record means achieving a new, faster time.
