# int_field_pace_curve

> Field-level baseline pace curve.

<Note>Part of the [Pace Baselines](/transform/families/pace-baselines) family.</Note>

Field-level baseline pace curve. Grain is (race\_year, race\_id, lap\_number). Computes rolling median of free-air pace for each lap to establish a clean baseline uncontaminated by individual driver skill or traffic.
