I was using HLT on Road America with ~3min laptimes, but for some reason, probably when we came in to the pit and stopped by the start finish for a minute, the laptimer recorded a laptime of 20 seconds.
I got in the car after this and the predictive lap stuff was useless because it was going off of a 20 second lap time. I had to manually set it to predict off of the last lap i did, which was pretty arbitray and not very useful for the rest of the time on the track.
For each track you should be able to set a minimum time either by absolute time, or have a feature that if a lap is under something 50% of the average of your laps you have done there it will not be used in the predictive timer, if you are using 'best lap' as a marker. It can still show up in the lap list afterwards, but should not be used as a benchmark.
You could use track records for where to set markers for minimum lap times, eg Road America had a LMP1 pole time of 1:46.935, so it would be safe to assume that nobody will will run a lap faster than 75% of that, which would give you ~1:20 for a safe Minimum Lap to count for the predictive lap timer best lap.
Obviously tracks with multiple configurations would be a little harder to find the minimum lap for, but I would think it would be fair to take the top 10% of laps for that configuration and take 50% of that for a good starting point.

Minimum lap time
Re: Minimum lap time
In LapTimer's Hall of Fame, there are filters for both matching times and overall distances are included (in case they are defined for the track). That would be a similar approach here. Over time, distance proved to be the better measure to use. I will add this to my list, thanks!

thanks Harry! Keep up the good work!
