For about a year after FM4 was released I kept track of the leaderboard times, and calculated the average speed of each track based on the number one leaderboard lap time and official track length. For the most part, the track ranking of average speeds was the same for each class; among circuits, Bernese Alps Stadtplatz is the fastest and Rally di Positano is the slowest. Here’s the list for A class. Some of these averages are based on times set over a year ago, but the boards were well established, so within a mile-an-hour or so, this ordering gives a basic view of which tracks are ‘slow’ and which are ‘fast’.

Layout E speeds are unrealistic due to the ability to set a lap on a path much shorter than the official track length, which is what I used for the calculation.
