It gets a driver nowhere faster than ever (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
lap record
'driver nowhere faster than ever' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'it gets a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lap record that I've seen is " Best all-round performance".)
