Y axis not starting at 0 can be misleading.

Also, why would you not use red for Ferarri? I'm calling the cops

The Y at 0 is more excusable since they used the fastest as near enough Y origin but as for Ferrari, they are either Red or Yellow. The only time Ferrari can be blue is at a protest.

Or if you’re Justin Bieber? Wait, wasn’t he blacklisted by Ferrari for that.. lol damn I should have looked at the colours more closely while making this.

Yeah starting from zero may have been better, though it produced a pretty flat graph. I chose gold for Chevy.. but had to demote the Corvette one spot as the numbers in the set appeared to not be in order!

I also think this y-axis makes sense because the law of diminishing returns means that every second quicker is harder and harder to get.

Then the chart should be in Minutes:Seconds. Seeing 6.5 but thinking 6:30 is weird.

You could have just put it as "difference to fastest car", which is a common way to display track times anyway.
