The Bretagne Karting circuit hosted a 121-minute endurance race on 1 November 2026, bringing together 15 teams on the 600-metre track. From the first lap to the chequered flag, the event delivered a competitive battle across the entire order, with pace, consistency and pit-stop management all playing decisive roles.

MULE MOTORS (kart #1) claimed the overall victory with 163 laps completed, finishing a lap ahead of second place. Their success was built on a dominant all-round performance: they recorded the best median pace of the race at 42.376 s (1st in pure pace), the best lap of the entire event at 41.988 s, and the best consistency figure at 0.41 s standard deviation. Across their four stints, their median times remained remarkably stable, ranging from 42.328 s to 42.480 s, with no significant degradation from one relais to the next. With 6 pit stops completed, their strategy matched the majority of the field.

BRETAGNE KARTING (kart #11) crossed the line in second place with 136 laps, 17.653 seconds behind on the road. Their pure pace was the second best of the race (median 42.407 s), but their total lap count — significantly lower than the top three — suggests their race did not run without interruption. Nevertheless, their five-stint structure included a remarkable final relais of 67 laps at a median of 42.389 s, underlining strong late-race endurance. Their best lap of 42.098 s confirms the speed was there throughout.

QEEQ (kart #2) completed the podium in third, one lap down on the winner with 162 laps. They held the third-best median pace (42.918 s) and were consistent across six stints (overall standard deviation 0.53 s). DEREUDREUZ (kart #4) finished fourth with 160 laps, though their pure-pace ranking was only 6th (43.184 s median); solid strategy and reliability earned them a result above their raw speed. BAND OF BROTHERS (kart #16) came home fifth at 0.456 s from DEREUDREUZ, completing 159 laps with a median pace of 43.174 s (5th in pace).

Sixth place went to GUEZRACINGTEAM (kart #19) with 160 laps — a notable result, as they held the 4th best median pace of the race at 43.007 s but finished only 6th. Their consistency was the weakest in the top six (0.88 s standard deviation), with wide swings between stints — from a 42.686 s median in their final 48-lap relais to a 44.085 s median in their second. Greater pace uniformity across all stints could have translated into a higher position. PIED TÔLE (kart #8) took seventh (159 laps), followed by J2T (kart #18) in eighth (158 laps) and TRACTEUR TONDEUSE RACING TEAM (kart #14) in ninth (157 laps). The latter is the clearest example of strategic overperformance: ranked only 12th in pure pace (43.873 s median), they converted discipline and pit-stop execution into 9th place — three positions gained over their raw-speed ranking.

RAISINS (kart #5) and LE SMUR (kart #7) both finished on 157 laps in 10th and 11th respectively. LE SMUR is worth noting for their irregularity: a standard deviation of 1.05 s — the highest in the classified top 11 — with stints ranging from 43.017 s to 45.081 s median, illustrating how pace variance can cost positions over a long race. NEMESIS (kart #17) finished 12th with 121 laps, while BREIZH ÎLES (kart #10) and GALETTE TEAM RACING (kart #3) both recorded 153 laps in 13th and 14th. TEAM PN (kart #6) rounded out the field in 15th with 146 laps and 7 pit stops — one more than most of the field.

Key takeaways for teams: MULE MOTORS' victory illustrates that combining outright speed with consistency (0.41 s standard deviation) and clean pit-stop execution is the winning formula. GUEZRACINGTEAM's experience shows that having the 4th-best pace is not enough if inter-stint consistency is lacking. Conversely, TRACTEUR TONDEUSE RACING TEAM demonstrated that disciplined strategy can recover three positions relative to pure pace. On a 600-metre circuit over 121 minutes, managing the variance lap to lap proves just as important as the fastest lap on the timing sheet.
