The Circuit de Bresse in Frontenaud hosted a 71-minute endurance race on 24 July 2026, bringing together 11 teams on the 1,100-metre karting layout. At the end of 51 hard-fought laps, EQUIPE 4 (kart #28) took a dominant victory, finishing a full lap clear of the rest of the field.

EQUIPE 4 led from start to finish, completing 51 laps without a single pit stop. Their winning margin over second-placed EQUIPE 7 (kart #14, 50 laps) was a commanding lap advantage. EQUIPE 7 crossed the line 36.252 seconds ahead of third-placed EQUIPE 5 (kart #4, 49 laps). Fourth went to EQUIPE 9 (kart #20, 50 laps), only 37.890 seconds behind EQUIPE 7 despite finishing one position lower — a result of lapping differences. EQUIPE 3 (kart #24) and EQUIPE 11 (kart #30) rounded out the top six with 48 and 49 laps respectively, EQUIPE 11 trailing sixth by 1:35.464. EQUIPE 2 (kart #5) took seventh with 48 laps, ahead of EQUIPE 8 (kart #29) in eighth with 46 laps. EQUIPE 10 (kart #26), EQUIPE 6 (kart #1) and EQUIPE 1 (kart #31) completed the field in ninth, tenth and eleventh. Notably, every team ran without a pit stop throughout the race.

The fastest lap of the race was set by EQUIPE 4 at 57.131 seconds — a benchmark that no other team came close to matching on the Circuit de Bresse layout.

The pace analysis reveals that EQUIPE 4 was not only the race winner but also the fastest and most consistent team on track, posting a median race pace of 58.684 s with a standard deviation of just 0.98 s — the lowest of all 11 competitors. Their single stint of 45 timed laps was rated stable throughout, underlining total control of the race.

EQUIPE 2 (kart #5) stands out as the most striking case of pace-versus-result disconnect: their median pace of 1:00.671 s made them the 2nd quickest team on pure rhythm, yet they finished only 7th. The gap between potential and outcome was significant on this occasion at the Circuit de Bresse. Conversely, EQUIPE 5 delivered the race's clearest strategic overperformance, finishing 3rd despite ranking only 7th on pure pace (median 1:03.130 s) — a result built on consistency and effective management of their stint.

EQUIPE 7 (2nd, pace rank 3rd, median 1:00.989 s, σ 1.34 s) and EQUIPE 9 (4th, pace rank 4th, median 1:01.049 s, σ 1.59 s) both finished broadly in line with their pace ranking. EQUIPE 11 showed the highest variability in the top half of the field (σ 2.2 s), while EQUIPE 6 (σ 2.33 s) was the least consistent team overall.

Key takeaways for teams: On the Circuit de Bresse, raw pace alone does not guarantee results — EQUIPE 2's 2nd-best rhythm translated into only 7th place, while EQUIPE 5 converted a modest pace into a podium finish. Consistency (low lap-time standard deviation) proved decisive: EQUIPE 4's σ of 0.98 s across their stint was in a class of its own. With no team making a pit stop, race management and sustained regularity over the full 71 minutes were the true differentiators on this 1,100-metre layout.
