Rkc Endurance · Finale Race⏱ 2h05

The 2-hour Endurance Final at the Circuito di Pomposa (Ferrara – San Giuseppe di Comacchio, 1,213 m) took place on 2 August 2026, bringing together ten teams on a 124-minute race that proved tight at the front and remarkably clean throughout the field.

RED RACING SPIRIT ENDURANCE 2H (kart #47) took the victory by completing 91 laps, edging out CAPRICCIO DI GOLA ENDURANCE 2H (#44) by just 1.704 seconds after more than two hours of racing. VENETOKORSE ENDURANCE 2H (#48) claimed the final podium position, 34.053 s adrift, while ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING ENDURANCE 2H (#55) finished fourth at 37.323 s. SVK RACING ENDURANCE 2H (#42) and ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING ACADEMY ENDURANCE 2H (#46) completed the top six, separated by less than three tenths of a second. ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING GALET ENDURANCE 2H (#50) finished seventh, less than 0.3 s behind sixth place. The bottom three – RAILY.EU RACING TEAM (#45), FAVERO KARTING PROJECT (#41) and JOLIE RACING TEAM (#54) – all finished one lap down. Every team completed 5 pit stops.

The fastest lap of the race was set by RED RACING SPIRIT ENDURANCE 2H in a time of 1:12.604, the only sub-1:12.700 lap recorded all afternoon.

The pace analysis reveals a fascinating inversion at the top. CAPRICCIO DI GOLA posted the best pure median pace of the field at 1:13.016 per lap – 0.019 s per lap quicker than the race winner's median of 1:13.035 – yet had to settle for second place. The gap, negligible over any single lap, compounded across 91 laps into just 1.704 s, meaning the outcome was decided in the pit lane and on track positioning rather than outright speed alone.

RED RACING SPIRIT's edge came from consistency: with a lap-time standard deviation of just 0.60 s, they were the most regular team in the field, never throwing away time through erratic laps. Their four recorded stints were all rated stable, and their fourth stint produced their quickest median (1:12.728) along with the race's fastest lap (1:12.604), showing the team saved something for the closing phase.

CAPRICCIO DI GOLA matched that discipline with a regularity of 0.68 s and four stable stints, their fourth delivering a 1:12.804 median and a 1:12.637 best lap. On pure pace alone they deserved the win; the 1.704 s margin illustrates how marginal the strategic difference was.

VENETOKORSE and ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING held the third and fourth positions on pace as well as on the road, with medians of 1:13.327 and 1:13.404 respectively, both consistent throughout. Further back, ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING ACADEMY (5th on pace, 6th on the road) and SVK RACING (6th on pace, 5th on the road) effectively traded positions – their real-pace difference was negligible and the final split of 2.4 s confirms it.

FAVERO KARTING PROJECT stands out for a different reason: their 9th-place finish masked the 8th-best pure pace of the race (1:13.766 median), suggesting time lost to a very short second stint of only 6 laps – the shortest of any stint in the top nine – which disrupted their rhythm mid-race.

Key takeaways for teams: At Pomposa, the 2026 endurance final showed that pace consistency and pit-stop execution are decisive. RED RACING SPIRIT won not by being the fastest team on outright lap time, but by being the most regular and by timing their quickest stint at the very end of the race. Teams aiming for the top step should focus on minimising standard deviation across stints and avoiding disruptive very-short stints that break rhythm and waste pit-lane time.
