Gara 3 Race⏱ 4 min

Gara 3 – Circuito di Pomposa, San Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara) – 25 July 2026. Thirty-nine karts lined up on the 1,213-metre Pista Kart for a four-minute endurance race that proved tightly contested from lights to flag. KART 38 claimed the top step of the podium, completing the distance in ten laps and holding off KART 20 by just 0.941 seconds at the chequered flag.

The battle for second and third was equally close. KART 20 (10 laps, best lap 34.200 s, 11 pit stops) crossed the line 0.941 s behind the winner, while KART 18 completed the podium at 2.093 s, having posted the third-fastest individual lap of the session (32.817 s) despite making 12 pit stops — one more than the two karts ahead of it. KART 30 finished fourth, 2.676 s adrift, matching the 11-stop strategy of the winner.

KART 38 itself set a best lap of 33.919 s with 11 pit stops, a combination of pace and pit-stop management that proved sufficient to secure victory. The overall fastest lap of the race, however, belonged to KART 37, which clocked a 32.663 s — the quickest lap posted by any kart across the entire event. Despite that raw speed, KART 37 had to settle for fifth place (gap: 3.426 s, 12 pit stops), illustrating how stop strategy influenced the final order.

Positions five through ten were separated by less than a second. KART 37 (5th, 3.426 s), KART 9 (6th, 4.095 s, best lap 32.928 s), KART 6 (7th, 5.005 s, best lap 33.031 s), KART 12 (8th, 5.068 s, best lap 32.946 s), KART 35 (9th, 5.162 s) and KART 2 (10th, 5.256 s) all completed ten laps, with the entire group covered by little more than 1.8 seconds — a testament to the competitive density of this race.

Further down the order, KART 34 (11th), KART 33 (12th), KART 17 (13th) and KART 36 (14th) all finished on ten laps with ten pit stops each, a more conservative approach that nonetheless left them outside the top ten. KART 8 (15th, best lap 33.271 s) and KART 11 (17th, best lap 33.425 s) showed strong individual pace but could not convert it into top-ten results.

From 27th place onward, thirteen karts — KART 15 through KART 13 — completed only nine laps and were classified one lap down. The gap between the last kart on the lead lap (KART 22, 26th, +29.134 s) and the first lapped kart (KART 15, 27th) underlines the fine margins that separated the top half of the field from the rest on this short Ferrara circuit.

In total, 26 of the 39 starters completed ten laps, while the remaining 13 finished one lap adrift. The fastest individual lap of the race, a 32.663 s set by KART 37, highlights the level of performance achievable on the 1,213-metre Pista Kart at Circuito di Pomposa.
