MASTER KART ROTAX · Finale Race⏱ 1h06

The Finale of the endurance race held on 9 July 2026 at the Circuit de l'Enclos in Septfontaine (Competition Track, 1,192 m) brought together 16 teams for 66 minutes of racing on karts. With no pit stops recorded across the entire field, the race was decided purely on raw pace and consistency over the full distance.

LES 2 D (kart #4) took victory after 58 laps, crossing the line ahead of OB RENT (kart #9) by 28.627 seconds. 2 BONNEFOY (kart #20) completed the podium, 39.582 s off the lead. 1 BONNEFOY (kart #16) and OGELEC INDUSTRIE (kart #13) followed in 4th and 5th, separated by less than three seconds, while PG CONSEIL (kart #19) rounded out the top six, also on 58 laps. The top six were all covered by just over 54 seconds — a sign of how tightly matched the leading group was over the race distance.

From a pure pace perspective, LES 2 D were dominant: their median lap time of 56.714 s was the best of the entire field, and they also set the fastest lap of the race — a 56.013 s, the quickest time recorded across all 16 teams. Their consistency was equally solid, with a standard deviation of 1.33 s, and their single stint remained stable throughout. The result and the rhythm were perfectly aligned.

OB RENT confirmed their runner-up finish with the 2nd best median pace (57.223 s) and actually produced the most consistent stint at the front of the field alongside the leaders, posting a standard deviation of 1.31 s — one of the tightest figures in the top six. 2 BONNEFOY and 1 BONNEFOY, ranked 4th and 5th on pure pace (57.405 s and 57.421 s respectively), converted their performances into 3rd and 4th place finishes with no surprises.

One of the most notable stories of the race belongs to OGELEC INDUSTRIE, who finished 5th despite holding only the 8th best median pace (57.739 s, σ = 1.49 s). Their result clearly outperformed their raw speed, making them the standout strategic overachiever of the event. In contrast, TATTU PELLEGRINI (kart #3) showed the 3rd best median rhythm in the analysed group yet finished 15th — the team's race was clearly cut short early, as evidenced by only 17 laps completed against 58 for the leaders, explaining the disconnect between speed and classification.

At the other end of the spectrum, 2 FORIEN (kart #15) earned the distinction of being the most consistent team in the race with a standard deviation of just 1.26 s — the lowest recorded — despite finishing 10th. Their median pace of 58.093 s placed them 11th on pure speed, showing that regularity alone is not sufficient to climb the order when separated by raw lap time from the front runners.

Key takeaways for teams: At the Circuit de l'Enclos, combining a strong median pace with consistency proved decisive — LES 2 D's double advantage in rhythm and lap time left no room for doubt. The no-stop format placed the entire premium on sustained performance over 66 minutes. OGELEC INDUSTRIE's top-five finish despite middling raw pace shows that position management and clean, incident-free laps can translate into significant gains when others stumble. Teams with genuine raw speed, like TATTU PELLEGRINI, must ensure they can run the full distance to convert potential into results.
