LES 100 MILES DE BRIGNOLES 2026 · LES 100 MILES Race

The Les 100 Miles endurance race at Brignoles Karting Loisir (987 m, RN 7 Brignoles) brought together 31 entrants on 19 September 2026 for a demanding contest decided on lap count. At the chequered flag, Anthony Bracale (kart #7) claimed victory with 163 laps completed, edging out Luca Cogordan (kart #1) by 37.939 seconds — both crews sharing the same lap tally, making the margin a genuine on-track result. Carl Hermier (kart #10) rounded out the podium, one lap down at 162, with a gap of 49.237 s to the runner-up.

Pauline Fournier (kart #8) and Guillaume Radenen (kart #3) completed the top five, both on 163 laps, separated from third place by 49.807 s and 56.086 s respectively. Camille Fournier (kart #12) finished sixth on 162 laps, setting the fastest lap of the entire race in 58.538 s — the sharpest single tour of the day despite a final classification that did not reflect that raw speed.

All five pit-stop strategies were identical across the leading runners: every classified finisher in the top 26 made 5 pit stops, with the exception of Noa Petit (kart #13) who made 6, and Kenny Robles (kart #6) who stopped only 4 times.

The race analysis reveals a clear hierarchy in terms of pure pace. Anthony Bracale not only won on the road but also posted the best median pace of the field (59.569 s), combining speed with remarkable consistency (standard deviation: 0.44 s). His five stints were all stable, with a median dropping from 58.883 s in the opening stint to around 59.947 s in the final one — a natural and controlled evolution over the race distance. He is the only driver to lead both the overall classification and the pure-pace ranking.

A striking data point comes from Kenny Robles (kart #6), who produced the 2nd best median pace of the field yet finished 30th. His race ended prematurely at 101 laps, a gap of 68 laps to the leader, underlining that raw speed without distance counts for nothing in endurance racing.

Luca Cogordan was the most consistent driver in the field, recording the lowest standard deviation across his stints (0.42 s), and his second-place finish rewarded that regularity — even though his median pace ranked him only 5th in pure speed. Carl Hermier secured 3rd place with the 3rd best median pace (59.759 s), his first stint showing greater variation (σ = 1.02 s) before settling into highly controlled subsequent relays.

Florent Provillard (kart #19) stands out strategically: classified 13th, his pure-pace ranking was only 20th — a positive gap of 7 positions that reflects efficient race management over raw speed. Conversely, several fast drivers ultimately fell short on lap count, a reminder that endurance at Brignoles Karting Loisir demands consistency over the full race distance as much as outright performance.

Key takeaways for teams: At Brignoles Karting Loisir, the 2026 edition of Les 100 Miles confirmed that the winning formula combines best-in-class median pace with low lap-to-lap variation. Anthony Bracale's victory illustrates that dominating both dimensions simultaneously is the most reliable path to the top step. Teams with strong single-lap speed must ensure they protect that pace across all stints; Robles' example is the starkest possible warning. Managing pit-stop timing within a 5-stop framework proved decisive in separating crews on equal laps.
