Rkc Endurance · Finale Race⏱ 2h05

The Finale endurance race at Circuito di Pomposa (San Giuseppe di Comacchio, Ferrara) was held on 2 August 2026 over 124 minutes on the 1,213-metre karting circuit. Ten teams took the start, and all ten reached the chequered flag, producing one of the most tightly contested endurance results seen on this track.

RED RACING SPIRIT ENDURANCE 2H (kart #47) claimed victory after 91 laps, edging out CAPRICCIO DI GOLA ENDURANCE 2H (kart #44) by just 1.704 seconds at the line — a margin that barely reflects the intensity of the battle waged across the full duration. VENETOKORSE ENDURANCE 2H (kart #48) completed the podium, 34.053 seconds off the pace, ahead of ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING ENDURANCE 2H (kart #55) at 37.323 seconds. All top seven teams completed 91 laps, while positions 8 through 10 — RAILY.EU RACING TEAM, FAVERO KARTING PROJECT, and JOLIE RACING TEAM — finished one lap down. Every team registered five pit stop passages.

The fastest lap of the race was set by RED RACING SPIRIT ENDURANCE 2H with a time of 1:12.604, recorded during their fourth stint. CAPRICCIO DI GOLA came close with a best of 1:12.637, while VENETOKORSE and ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING ENDURANCE 2H posted 1:12.997 and 1:12.980 respectively.

Racing analysis — where the race was decided: The most striking finding from the data is the gap between pure pace and final classification at the very top. CAPRICCIO DI GOLA carried the best median race pace of any team — 1:13.016 per lap — yet finished second. RED RACING SPIRIT, with a median pace of 1:13.035 (2nd-best overall), ultimately prevailed through superior consistency: their standard deviation of 0.6 seconds was the lowest of all ten teams, making them the most regular outfit on track throughout the 124 minutes.

Both top teams ran four measured stints with stable tendencies across every relay. RED RACING SPIRIT's second stint (22 laps, median 1:12.906, σ 0.43 s) and fourth stint (18 laps, median 1:12.728, σ 0.26 s) were their sharpest phases, and it was in that final stint that they set the absolute fastest lap of the race. CAPRICCIO DI GOLA answered with their own strong fourth stint (15 laps, median 1:12.804, σ 0.37 s), but the gap was already sealed.

Further back, ROMAGNA RENTAL KARTING ACADEMY (6th) held the 5th-best median pace at 1:13.503, fractionally quicker in pure rhythm than SVK RACING (5th, median 1:13.518), yet finished behind them — an illustration of how pit stop timing and on-track positioning shaped the final order as much as raw speed. FAVERO KARTING PROJECT (9th) showed the 8th-best median pace at 1:13.766, ahead of RAILY.EU RACING TEAM (8th, 1:13.857), meaning they were faster in pure terms yet finished behind — a one-position gap with no mechanical explanation in the data beyond stint structure.

Key takeaways for competing teams: At Circuito di Pomposa, consistency proved more decisive than outright pace. The 1.704-second winning margin on a 124-minute race was ultimately built on lap-time regularity (σ 0.6 s for the winners) rather than raw speed alone. Teams carrying higher variability — SVK RACING at σ 0.96 s — lost positions to teams with similar or even slower median pace but tighter, more controlled driving. With five mandatory pit stops and 91 laps for the leaders, managing exit quality and rhythm across each stint is where endurance victories are built on this circuit.
