MASTER KART ROTAX · Finale Race⏱ 1h06

The Circuit de l'Enclos in Septfontaine hosted the Final of its 66-minute endurance race on 16 September 2026, with 18 teams taking the start on the 1,192-metre Competition track. After a tight and intense contest, TEAM C4 (kart #12) claimed victory by completing 59 laps and crossing the line 12.392 seconds ahead of HAMMAX (kart #15), who also completed 59 laps. LES 2 D (kart #10) rounded out the podium in third, a further 8.303 seconds back, also on 59 laps.

The top eight teams all finished on 59 laps, underlining how closely matched the field was. MOUGIN AUTO (kart #6) finished fourth at 24.176 seconds, followed by ADPR (kart #20) in fifth at 29.573 seconds, LES FRANGINS (kart #6) sixth at 34.294 seconds, DOUBLE G (kart #18) seventh at 39.669 seconds, and TRANSPORT GIRARD (kart #13) eighth at 45.232 seconds. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by MOUGIN AUTO with a time of 55.462 seconds.

The pace analysis reveals that TEAM C4 held the strongest median pace of the race at 56.373 s, which directly translated into their victory. Behind them, LES 2 D posted the second-best median pace at 56.467 s despite qualifying only third on the road — a sign that their pace was marginally better than their finishing position suggests. HAMMAX, second across the line, recorded the third-best median pace at 56.653 s.

In terms of consistency, 2 MICRO DECO (kart #7) stood out as the most regular team of the race with a lap-time standard deviation of just 1.15 s, the lowest in the field. Despite that regularity, they could only manage ninth place on 58 laps. TRANSPORT GIRARD was close behind with a standard deviation of 1.19 s, finishing eighth, while race winner TEAM C4 also demonstrated strong consistency at 1.17 s. At the other end of the spectrum, ROCHE FELLER showed the highest variability among the analysed teams (1.63 s), which may explain their tenth-place finish despite holding the eighth-best median pace.

The most notable strategic performance came from DOUBLE G, who finished seventh on the road while ranking only ninth in pure pace — a gain of two positions that reflects effective race management. Conversely, ROCHE FELLER finished two places lower than their pace ranking would suggest, illustrating that raw speed alone was not sufficient on the day.

What teams should take away: At the Circuit de l'Enclos, the combination of median pace and lap-time consistency proved decisive. TEAM C4 won by combining the best overall rhythm with solid regularity. The case of 2 MICRO DECO shows that consistency without pace is not enough to break into the top eight on a 59-lap race. DOUBLE G's result demonstrates the value of disciplined race management to extract more from available resources. Teams looking to improve should focus on sustaining their median pace throughout the entire race rather than chasing peak lap times.
