Sometimes the fastest SS time doesn't come up in the laps that you received your fastest sectors, such as the example above. This time, lap 3's SS time is faster even though it didn't make the fastest sector time. You do the same thing as you would do in example 1. Add the sector times together to get your total SS time.

Taking the fastest sector times and adding them up is prohibited. The SS time is determine in each lap. Sector times must be from the same lap.
