2 H 00 Circuit Laval Beausoleil · Finale Race⏱ 2h30

Twenty-nine teams lined up on the 1,220-metre Circuit Beausoleil in Laval on 10 July 2026 for a demanding 150-minute endurance final. Over the course of the race, the field spread across 28 laps, with the winner completing 102 laps while the last classified team finished 28 laps down.

OPTIC 2000 (kart #30) took the victory with 102 laps completed and 7 pit stops, holding off a closely contested group of four teams separated by just one lap. Their 2nd-best pure pace (median lap time of 1:05.515) combined with solid stint management proved decisive. Notably, stints 5 and 6 were particularly efficient — with standard deviations of just 0.53 s and 0.61 s respectively — showing excellent driver consistency when it mattered most.

ENERGIE CLIM (kart #27) crossed the line in 2nd place, one lap behind, with 101 laps and 7 stops. Their 4th-ranked pure pace (median 1:06.192) was compensated by the best overall consistency in the top two (σ = 1.51 s). Stints 4 and 5 were particularly clean (σ = 0.89 s and 0.56 s), and the team showed positive momentum in stints 7 and 8, both trending faster.

ATELIER BOUVET JEUNE (kart #33) finished 3rd despite posting the best pure race pace of the entire field — a median of 1:05.497 and a regularity of σ = 1.49 s. Their stint 4 was a highlight of the race: 16 laps at a median of 1:04.977 with an extraordinary standard deviation of just 0.31 s. A slower stint 2 (median 1:08.505) and stint 5 (median 1:07.836) prevented them from converting that pace advantage into the win.

JPTT (kart #8), classified 5th with 101 laps, recorded the 3rd-best pure pace (median 1:05.632). Their opening stint was aggressive — 27 laps at a median of 1:05.039 — but several stints showed a tendency to slow (stints 3, 6, and 7 all losing pace toward the end), which ultimately cost them positions at the front.

The fastest lap of the race was set by BELCOR (kart #2) with a time of 1:03.909, recorded during their 5th stint. Despite this single-lap performance, BELCOR finished 10th, illustrating the contrast between outright speed and race-long management.

In terms of strategic highlights, LA 4L (kart #29) stands out: classified 13th but holding the 8th-best pure pace, the team was clearly quicker than their finishing position suggests. Conversely, LE AVENTURIERS (kart #6) finished 16th despite a pure-pace ranking of only 23rd, demonstrating that consistent pit strategy and race management can significantly outperform raw speed over 150 minutes.

At the bottom of the timesheet, LES PETALES REBELLES (kart #1) made 12 pit stops — the most of any team — completing 83 laps, while LES FLEURISTES EN DETRESSE (kart #10) ended the race 28 laps off the pace with only 74 laps to their name.

Key takeaways for teams: Pure pace alone does not win endurance races, as ATELIER BOUVET JEUNE's 3rd-place finish with the best race rhythm demonstrates. Consistency across stints (σ below 1.5 s) and disciplined pit-stop management — all top-5 teams completed exactly 7 stops — proved more valuable than peak lap times. Teams seeking to improve their classification should focus on eliminating slow stints rather than chasing fastest laps.
