endurance · Finale Race⏱ 1h35

The 95-minute endurance final at Pole Mecanique Karting Ales (1,200 m circuit) brought together 14 teams on 29 August 2026 for a demanding race decided over 66 laps at the top of the standings. CROCOS took the chequered flag with a commanding performance that combined the best race pace and the strongest consistency of the entire field.

CROCOS (kart #10) crossed the line first with 66 laps completed, finishing ahead of LE S (kart #3) by 54.217 seconds and LS2 (kart #14) by 1:08.259. Both runners-up also completed 66 laps, making for a closely fought battle at the top of the standings over the full race distance. LAROTA (kart #8) claimed 4th place one lap down, followed by LASSALOIS (kart #13) in 5th, 24.813 seconds behind LAROTA. TURBO (kart #9) rounded out the top six, 55.785 seconds adrift of LASSALOIS.

Further back, ESPOIR (kart #12) and THE BOSS (kart #1) completed 64 laps in 7th and 8th respectively, with THE BOSS trailing by 1:05.333. RUNNING (kart #11) and LES POULETS (kart #6) shared the 9th and 10th positions on 63 laps, separated by just 2.965 seconds. PERTUIS (kart #7), SHENK (kart #15), and LES APPRENTIS (kart #2) all finished on 62 laps, with only 12.657 seconds covering the three of them. TOP 1 (kart #5) concluded the field in 14th place on 60 laps.

The fastest lap of the race was set by LASSALOIS with a 1:12.062, the sharpest single lap of the afternoon across all 14 teams.

Race analysis – what the data reveals: CROCOS justified their victory with the strongest median race pace of the field at 1:14.402 (ranked 1st in pure pace), and simultaneously posted the best consistency figure of the race with a standard deviation of just 1.26 seconds. Pace and regularity aligned perfectly for the winning team. LE S followed in 2nd in pure pace (1:14.908, σ 1.32 s), matching their on-track position, while LS2 took 3rd in both the race and the pace rankings (1:15.077, σ 1.86 s).

The most striking analytical insight concerns LASSALOIS: ranked only 12th in pure pace (median 1:16.341 s), they nevertheless finished 5th on the road, a four-place gain that stands as the clearest example of strategic overperformance in this final. Conversely, LES APPRENTIS present the sharpest contrast between pace and result: ranked 7th in pure pace, they finished 13th, a six-place deficit that signals laps lost to factors beyond raw speed. RUNNING also deserves a mention, holding 4th best median pace (1:15.596) but finishing only 9th, with consistency (σ 2.62 s) among the weaker figures in the field.

Key takeaways for teams: CROCOS demonstrated that combining top-level pace with high consistency is the most reliable route to victory over 95 minutes. LASSALOIS showed that strategic management can more than offset a moderate underlying pace. LES APPRENTIS and RUNNING illustrate that raw lap-time potential goes unrewarded when lap-time variance and time lost on track accumulate over a long race distance.
