Question : Need SQL Syntax help to make my qry more efficient.

Friends,

Attached, I have my qry. As you can see, I have to do a selection to evaluate the value returned.

Is there a more effcient way that I can determine OverallBestLapTime and more importantly FormattedOverallBestLapTime.

Looking for SQL Syntax help specifically!

Thanks in advance!

Eric
