2 H 00 Circuit Laval Beausoleil · Finale Race⏱ 4 min

Twenty-seven teams took to the Circuit Beausoleil 1220 M in Laval on 24 July 2026 for the Finale of this kart endurance race. In just three minutes of racing — counting laps, not minutes — the event produced a closely fought battle at the front, with the top two finishing on the same lap count.

LES ESTROPIES (kart 24) took the overall victory with 105 laps completed, crossing the line 32.594 seconds ahead of KSAC (kart 14), who also completed 105 laps. Third place went to MR TEAM (kart 30), one lap down at 104 laps. All three teams made seven pit stops apiece.

From a pure pace perspective, the hierarchy at the top mirrors the finishing order. LES ESTROPIES posted the best median race pace in the field at 1:04.450, with KSAC second at 1:04.789 and MR TEAM third at 1:04.877. Consistency was also strong across both leading teams, with regularity figures of 1.15 s and 1.19 s respectively — among the tightest in the field. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by KSAC in a time of 1:02.895.

In terms of stint-by-stint detail, LES ESTROPIES were remarkably composed throughout their eight relays. Only their seventh stint showed a slight pace loss of 0.23 s per lap toward the end, while all other stints remained stable. KSAC were equally consistent, posting eight stable stints with no degradation — a disciplined performance that explains how they kept the gap to the winner down to 32 seconds despite covering the same distance.

The standout performer for consistency across the whole field was H-A AUTO (kart 7), who recorded the lowest regularity figure of all analysed teams at 0.99 s. Despite this exemplary consistency and the fourth-best pure pace (median 1:05.084), H-A AUTO finished seventh — underscoring that raw pace still determined the result at the front. Conversely, LES MIEUX SOUS L'EAU (kart 6) finished 14th despite holding the eighth-best pure race pace, a gap that reflects time lost in traffic or at pit stops rather than any lack of outright speed.

Further down the order, LES BETONNEURS (kart 13) were the team that overachieved relative to their pure pace: classified 12th despite only the 20th-best median lap time, their strategy around pit stops allowed them to gain positions on teams that were theoretically faster. At the other extreme, FULL SEND RACING (kart 32) and LES DEMONTE PNEUS (kart 5) finished fifth and sixth respectively, each completing 103 laps, separated by their best lap times (1:04.270 vs 1:04.376).

The 22nd-placed ADL MOTORSPORT (kart 22) was the only team in the field to make eight pit stops — one more than every other classified competitor — which inevitably cost time on track and contributed to their final position despite completing 99 laps.

Key takeaways for teams: This Finale on the Circuit Beausoleil confirms that in a field of 27 teams, winning requires both the best median pace and full consistency across all stints. LES ESTROPIES achieved both. Teams like H-A AUTO demonstrate that regularity alone is not sufficient without the underlying raw pace to match — the gap between fourth-best pace and seventh place is a reminder to work on absolute lap time as well as consistency. Finally, the case of LES MIEUX SOUS L'EAU — eighth-best pace, 14th in the results — shows that time management around pit stops and traffic can cost several positions, even when the underlying speed is genuinely competitive.
