1 H 30 Circuit Laval Beausoleil · Finale Race⏱ 1h44

The Final endurance race at Circuit Beausoleil in Laval (1,220 m) delivered 104 minutes of intense racing across 13 teams on 16 July 2026. At the chequered flag, TEAM HONDA (kart #24) claimed top honours with 74 laps completed, holding off TEAM BENTLEY by just 3.035 seconds in a tense finish.

TEAM BENTLEY (kart #25) matched TEAM HONDA lap for lap, also completing 74 laps, and finished as the runner-up. TEAM ALPHA ROMEO (kart #14) rounded out the podium, 44.802 seconds adrift but equally on 74 laps. Fourth went to TEAM BMW (kart #20), one lap down, ahead of TEAM LAMBORGHINI (kart #21) in fifth. TEAM ROLLS-ROYCE, TEAM AUDI, TEAM ASTON MARTIN and TEAM FERRARI all completed 72 laps to fill positions 6 through 9, with TEAM FERRARI requiring one additional pit stop (8 total) compared to the rest of the field. TEAM PORSCHE (10th, 71 laps), TEAM McLAREN (11th, 70 laps), TEAM MERCEDES (12th, 69 laps) and TEAM TOYOTA (13th, 68 laps) completed the order.

The fastest lap of the race was set by TEAM HONDA with a time of 1:03.450, recorded during their final stint — a remarkable benchmark that underlines how their last relay elevated the entire race result.

From a pure pace perspective, the numbers tell a more nuanced story. TEAM BENTLEY posted the best median race pace at 1:05.714, ranking first in pure rhythm across all 13 competitors. Yet with only 6 pit stops versus the field average of 7, their reduced on-track time (54 laps counted in the pace analysis) ultimately left them short. TEAM ALPHA ROMEO held the 2nd best pure pace (1:06.656) and TEAM BMW the 3rd (1:06.657) — figures that translate directly into their final positions.

TEAM HONDA's strategy was the decisive factor. Ranked only 5th in pure pace (median 1:06.818), they managed their relays to peak when it mattered most: their 8th and final stint of 10 laps produced a median of 1:03.602 — the fastest of any relay by any team in the race — capping it with the absolute fastest lap of 1:03.450. Their 4th relay (1:04.128 median, σ = 0.28) was equally outstanding in consistency terms. The combination of pit-stop management across 7 stops and a perfectly timed finish secured the win despite not having the outright quickest median pace.

TEAM LAMBORGHINI was the most consistent team of the day, posting the lowest standard deviation across all their laps (σ = 1.5 s), ranking 4th in pure pace and converting that regularity into 5th place overall. TEAM FERRARI illustrates a missed opportunity: 6th in pure pace (1:06.999) but only 9th at the flag, hampered by a difficult 4th relay where they lost 0.74 s per lap — the steepest in-stint degradation of the entire field — and an extra pit stop (8 total). TEAM MERCEDES showed similar inconsistency (σ = 2.94, the highest in the field), which, despite a solid median pace placing them 9th in pure rhythm, dropped them to 12th in the final standings.

Key takeaways for teams: At Circuit Beausoleil, raw pace alone does not guarantee results. TEAM HONDA's victory with only the 5th-best median pace proves that pit-stop timing, stint management and an ability to build pace progressively through a race are equally decisive. Teams with high regularity — like TEAM LAMBORGHINI (σ = 1.5) — consistently convert their rhythm into on-track positions. Managing in-stint degradation, as TEAM FERRARI failed to do in relay 4, can cost multiple positions over 104 minutes.
