See carer plod around, setting best local time (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

lap record

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'best local time' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'see carer plod around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'carer'+'plod'='carerplod'
'carerplod' anagrammed gives 'LAP RECORD'.

'setting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lap record that I've seen is " Best all-round performance".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
