MASTER KART ROTAX · Finale Race⏱ 1h03

The Circuit de l'Enclos in Septfontaine hosted the Endurance Final on 17 September 2026, bringing together 16 teams on the 1,192-metre Competition track for 62 minutes of racing. At the end of an intense and closely contested race, 1 BONNEFOY (kart #10) claimed victory with 58 laps completed, holding off TATTU PELLEGRINI (kart #2) by just 1.076 seconds and LES 2 D (kart #1) by 3.949 seconds.

The top nine teams all finished on 58 laps, underlining how tight and unforgiving this final proved to be. COYOTTES (kart #13) secured fourth place at 7.177 seconds from the winner, while OB RENT (kart #3) and PG CONSEIL (kart #14) rounded out the top six with gaps of 31.612 and 39.601 seconds respectively. 1 FORIEN (kart #21), OGELEC INDUSTRIE (kart #12), and CATTET (kart #23) completed the top nine. From tenth place onward, teams finished on 57 laps, with YG PAT./DB PEINT. (kart #20) leading that group, followed by 2 BONNEFOY (kart #22) and DEFRASNE (kart #9). ALLIANCE PELLETS (kart #4) concluded the field in 16th place on 56 laps.

The outright fastest lap of the race was set by OB RENT with a time of 56.353 seconds, the benchmark of the entire event on the Circuit de l'Enclos.

The race analysis reveals a telling gap between on-track pace and final classification. LES 2 D posted the best median pace of the field at 57.138 s — the strongest pure rhythm of any team — yet crossed the line only third. COYOTTES held the second-best median pace at 57.202 s despite finishing fourth, and TATTU PELLEGRINI recorded the third-best median pace (57.206 s) while taking second place. Race winner 1 BONNEFOY, by contrast, ran only the fourth-best median pace (57.216 s), demonstrating that superior strategy and consistency were decisive over raw speed alone.

On the consistency front, TATTU PELLEGRINI was the most regular team of the race, posting a standard deviation of just 1.05 seconds — the lowest across all analysed competitors. Their combination of regularity and solid pace proved the foundation of their runner-up finish. OGELEC INDUSTRIE showed the sharpest contrast between single-lap potential (56.433 s best) and median pace (57.923 s, 10th-best), suggesting significant variation over the course of their stint. A notable case outside the top nine is CALDAS (15th overall), whose pure-pace ranking of 8th points to unrealised potential on the day.

Key takeaways for teams: At the Circuit de l'Enclos, raw pace alone does not guarantee results. 1 BONNEFOY's victory with only the fourth-best median rhythm confirms that strategic consistency throughout the 62 minutes outweighs peak speed. Teams aiming for the top step should prioritise lap-to-lap regularity — as illustrated by TATTU PELLEGRINI's 1.05 s standard deviation — while managing their overall race rhythm rather than chasing individual flying laps.
