TROPHEE INTER-ENTREPRISES · COURSE 3H Race⏱ 3h07

The 3-hour endurance race at Brignoles Karting Loisir (987 m), held on 24 September 2026, brought together 15 teams for 186 minutes of racing on the RN 7 Brignoles circuit. The event delivered a competitive battle across the board, with significant gaps between pure pace and final classification.

RDD AFFICHAGE (kart #11) took the victory with 158 laps completed, finishing a full lap clear of runner-up HIGHTAIX (kart #10), who crossed the line with 157 laps. GRAMMA SARL (kart #2) claimed the final podium position, also on 157 laps — wait, 156 laps — just 2.339 seconds behind HIGHTAIX at the flag. All three podium finishers made 9 pit stops each throughout the race, a figure shared by every team in the field.

Behind the podium, KIP LOISIR (kart #3) and LA NOTE BLEUE (kart #7) completed 157 and 157 laps respectively to take 4th and 6th, while SG LUXURY (kart #4) — the team that covered the most ground on track with 160 laps — could only manage 5th place. This is one of the most striking findings of this race: SG LUXURY recorded the best overall race pace with a median lap time of 1:01.014, yet their final position did not reflect that raw speed.

An even sharper contrast can be found with CLARTE BLANCHISSERIE BY INTER (kart #1), who finished 9th despite posting the 2nd fastest overall race pace (median 1:01.091) and the second highest lap count at 159 laps. Their nine stints featured some of the fastest median times of the entire field — including two stints below 1:00.500 — making them the clearest example of raw speed not translating into a final position.

At the other end of the strategy spectrum, HIGHTAIX stands out as the race's great tactical winner: ranked only 6th in pure pace (median 1:01.871), they converted that into a 2nd place finish, illustrating how consistent management of stints and pit stops can more than compensate for a pace deficit.

GRAMMA SARL deserves a mention for recording the best consistency across the race, with a standard deviation of just 0.59 seconds per lap — the lowest of all 15 teams — reflecting exemplary control of their lap times throughout the 186 minutes.

The fastest lap of the race was set by PCT 2 (kart #6) with a time of 59.908 seconds — the only team to dip under the 1-minute barrier — yet PCT 2 finished 11th overall. Their pace profile was one of the most contrasted: two stints in the 1:00–1:01 range alternating with stints above 1:04, resulting in a race median of 1:03.231 and a high standard deviation of 1.81 s, the joint highest in the field alongside AU P'TIT CREUX D'AZUR.

AU P'TIT CREUX D'AZUR (kart #9) finished 7th with 155 laps, while TERRAVITA 1 (kart #13) and LES KARTASTROPHES (kart #15) both completed 154 laps to finish 8th and 10th respectively. LES THANOS (kart #8), PCT 2 (kart #6), and LES POTES POSITION (kart #12) rounded out positions 11 to 13, with TERRAVITA 2 (kart #14) and PCT 1 (kart #5) completing the field in 14th and 15th.

Key takeaways for teams: This race at Brignoles Karting Loisir demonstrates that raw pace alone does not win endurance races. SG LUXURY and CLARTE BLANCHISSERIE BY INTER both had the speed to contend for the podium but finished 5th and 9th. Conversely, HIGHTAIX's strategy elevated them four places above their pace ranking. Consistency — as shown by GRAMMA SARL's 0.59 s standard deviation — also proved a decisive asset. For teams targeting future endurance events here, the balance between pit stop timing, stint management, and sustained regularity appears just as important as outright lap time.
