2H DES VACANCES 2026 · ENDURANCE Race⏱ 2h03

Twenty-two teams lined up on the 1,200-metre Piste 1 at Dunois Kart in Lutz-en-Dunois on 26 July 2026 for a 123-minute endurance race that proved both demanding and closely contested at the sharp end of the field.

2R Racing 2 – Pro (kart #20) took the overall victory after completing 103 laps, crossing the line ahead of Infinity Racing MagicJet – Pro (kart #25) by 16.371 seconds. 2R Racing – Pro (kart #22) rounded out the podium, finishing 17.560 seconds behind second place with 102 laps completed. Men's Racing 2 – Pro (kart #8, 102 laps, +37.842 s) and E'Kart'Oi – Pro (kart #23, 103 laps, +43.617 s) completed the top five. All five front-runners made exactly five pit stops.

The fastest lap of the race was set by 2R Racing 2 – Pro with a time of 1:02.968. Their pure-pace median lap time of 1:03.511 placed them first in outright race rhythm, and their overall consistency of 0.7 s standard deviation was solid across all five stints, each of which showed a stable tendency. Their 29-lap fourth stint (median 1:03.405) stands out as arguably the most decisive block of the race.

Infinity Racing MagicJet – Pro was the most consistent team of the day, posting the lowest standard deviation of the field at 0.43 s. Despite ranking third in pure rhythm (median 1:03.711), their remarkably even four-stint race — none straying beyond 1:03.808 median — earned them second place on the road. 2R Racing – Pro showed the second-best pure race rhythm (median 1:03.651) across six stints, yet finished third on track, 0.200 s per lap slower than their sister team in median pace.

Men's Racing 2 – Pro ranked only sixth in pure rhythm (median 1:03.983), but converted their pace into fourth place overall. Their first two stints were their sharpest (medians 1:03.558 and 1:03.714), while the last two stints settled slightly above 1:04.1. E'Kart'Oi – Pro (fifth in both result and pure rhythm, median 1:03.901) demonstrated excellent consistency at 0.53 s, with six stints all within a narrow window.

The most eye-catching performance outside the overall top five came from KeepPushing Team – Amateur (kart #9), who finished sixth in the overall standings but posted the fourth-best pure race rhythm in the entire field (median 1:03.846) — ahead of several Pro teams. Their 38-lap final stint (median 1:03.823) underlined genuine outright speed. Les Beenooz – Pro (kart #16) present a similar story: seventh in pure rhythm yet ninth on the results sheet, with a strong 38-lap closing stint (median 1:03.830) that was too little, too late to recover lost ground.

At the other end of the field, KitKart – Amateur recorded the steepest pace drop of the race, losing 0.89 s per lap through their fourth stint. Flash Mc Queen – Amateur required eight pit stops — two more than the leading teams — which inevitably cost them track position. Team Tourneur – Amateur completed only 49 laps, finishing 53 laps down on the leaders.

Key takeaways for teams: The winners combined the best pure rhythm with exemplary stability across every stint — their title was built on consistency as much as outright speed. The gap between pure rhythm ranking and final classification for teams like KeepPushing Team and Les Beenooz shows how pit stop timing and stint length can outweigh raw lap-time advantage. Any team targeting improvement should focus on reducing standard deviation between laps and keeping median pace constant through the second half of each stint.
