From a pure pace perspective, the race analysis confirms KARTAPULTE RACING - PRO's dominance: their median race pace of 1:04.074 was the fastest of the field, earning them the top position in the pure rhythm rankings. Their consistency was equally impressive, with an overall standard deviation of just 0.49 seconds, and all five stints rated as stable. EKARTOI - PRO backed this up with the second-best median pace at 1:04.178, also stable across their six stints.

Despite finishing fourth on track, 2R RACING 1 - PRO posted the third-best pure pace (1:04.212 median), while GEST RACING - AMATEUR — fifth overall — delivered the fourth-best rhythm (1:04.221), making it the standout Amateur result of the race both on the road and on pace.

At the other end of the spectrum, ONLY KART - PRO held the 7th-best pure pace but could only convert that into an 8th-place finish.

Key takeaways for teams: At Dunois Kart, this 125-minute race rewarded consistency above all. The top three teams all combined strong median pace with stable stints across every relay. GEST RACING - AMATEUR proved that Amateur teams can compete with the Pros when pace and regularity are maintained. Teams with uneven stint rhythms — highlighted by higher standard deviations in early stints — tended to lose ground despite flashes of strong individual lap times. Tyre management and pit stop execution were decisive factors in separating teams of similar outright speed.
