KES - 3H DE BRIGNOLES by PACIFIC · COURSE 1 - 1H30 Race

The 1h30 endurance race at Brignoles Karting Loisir (987 m, RN 7 Brignoles) on 23 August 2026 brought together 15 teams on a tight, demanding track. At the chequered flag, GAM'IT RACING (kart #4) took the victory with 84 laps completed, edging out PRV (kart #6) by 11.811 seconds and PACIFIC RACING (kart #1) by 13.116 seconds. Four teams finished on the same lap count — GAM'IT DI MOZZARELLA RACING (4th), PACIFIC E-RACING (5th), and PACIFIC ASSOCIATION (7th) also reached 84 laps, while APEX VAROISE (6th) and GAM'IT RACING ASSOCIATION (8th) completed 83. All three podium finishers made 3 pit stops each.

The fastest lap of the race was set by APEX VAROISE with a stunning 59.267 s, the quickest single lap of the day. Despite this pace, APEX VAROISE could only manage 6th place overall, a gap between raw speed and race result that the analysis helps explain.

In terms of pure race pace, GAM'IT DI MOZZARELLA RACING posted the best median lap time across the race at 59.852 s, ranking 1st in pace — yet finished only 4th on the road. Their third stint showed a noticeable drop in consistency (std dev 1.47 s over 11 laps), which likely cost them valuable time on track and contributed to the gap to the leaders.

GAM'IT RACING, the winner, combined the 2nd-best median pace (59.899 s) with the best overall consistency of the field (std dev 0.43 s). Their three stints were all stable, with median lap times of 59.785 s (41 laps), 1:00.176 s (25 laps), and 59.717 s (15 laps). It is this combination of solid pace and race-long regularity that allowed them to convert pace into victory, outperforming their pure pace ranking.

PRV (2nd, median 59.923 s) ran four stints and maintained steady lap times throughout, their longest stint covering 42 laps with a median of 59.733 s. PACIFIC RACING (3rd, median 1:00.111 s) also ran four stints; their fourth and final stint showed a median of 1:00.719 s, reflecting a natural tightening of pace over a long run, but their consistency within each stint remained controlled (std dev as low as 0.14 s on stint 3).

APEX VAROISE (6th) produced the absolute fastest lap of the race (59.267 s) but their median pace across the race came in at 1:00.303 s, ranking 6th — their final position. PACIFIC ASSOCIATION (7th) ran a particularly long opening stint of 42 laps at a median of 59.728 s, but a slower second stint (1:01.672 s median over 10 laps) cost them positions.

Further back, TEAM MACADAM (11th) and EGUILLES RACING TEAM (12th) showed the highest variability in the field, with overall std dev of 1.03 s and 1.12 s respectively. EGUILLES RACING TEAM's first stint median was 1:03.730 s, before settling to a much better rhythm from stint 2 onwards.

Key takeaways for teams: This race clearly rewarded consistency over raw speed. GAM'IT RACING won not by being the fastest but by being the most regular (best std dev: 0.43 s) while maintaining strong pace. GAM'IT DI MOZZARELLA RACING's example shows that the best pure pace in the field does not guarantee the result if consistency breaks down in a critical stint. Managing regularity across all stints — especially in the second half of the race — is the decisive factor on the Brignoles Karting Loisir circuit.
