2H DE LA TOUSSAINT · ENDURANCE Race⏱ 2h06

On 25 October 2026, the Dunois Kart circuit in Lutz-en-Dunois hosted a 125-minute endurance race on its 1,100-metre layout, bringing together 15 teams from both the Pro and Amateur categories. Here is the full race report.

TEAM SKJ – PRO (kart #23) claimed victory, completing 71 laps and finishing one lap ahead of the chasing pack. Despite running fewer laps than several rivals — a consequence of their pit stop strategy — the team secured the win with the best pure pace of the entire field, posting a median lap time of 1:04.923 (ranked 1st in pure pace) and a best lap of 1:03.440. Their second stint, covering 28 laps at a median of 1:04.338, was remarkably consistent (standard deviation: 0.69 s), showcasing a controlled and efficient run to the flag.

2R RACING – PRO (kart #19) crossed the line in 2nd place with 88 laps, 22.356 seconds behind the leader. Their median pace of 1:05.181 placed them 3rd in pure speed, and their single long stint of 43 laps at a stable rhythm highlighted solid team management over the race distance.

CAP KARTING FORMATION – AMATEUR (kart #24) completed the podium in 3rd, also on 88 laps, 45.502 seconds off the lead. Notably, they set the fastest lap of the race — a 1:03.318 — and ranked 2nd in pure pace (median 1:05.098), a remarkable performance for an Amateur entry. Their second stint of 34 laps was especially strong, with a median of 1:04.481 and excellent consistency (standard deviation: 1.04 s).

LES HMARS – AMATEUR (kart #18) took 4th on 88 laps (+46.594 s), ahead of BEENOOZ 1 – PRO (kart #12) in 5th, also on 88 laps (+52.861 s). Both teams completed their race distance efficiently. BEENOOZ 1 ranked 4th in pure pace (median 1:05.347) and gained momentum across their stints.

Further back, LES 2 PISTONS – AMATEUR (kart #7) achieved a notable strategic result: finishing 6th overall despite ranking only 11th in pure pace (median 1:06.808). Their 5 pit stops and consistent stint management allowed them to outplace faster rivals. RD TEAM – AMATEUR (kart #20) followed in 7th on 85 laps, with a solid pure pace ranked 7th (median 1:06.022).

KEEP-PUSHING – AMATEUR (kart #5) deserves a mention: ranked 5th in pure pace (median 1:05.635) and the most consistent team in the field (standard deviation: 1.84 s across their stints), they ultimately finished 9th — a gap between raw speed and final classification that reflects the complexity of endurance racing. Similarly, SV AUTO 1 – AMATEUR (kart #17) ranked 9th in pure pace despite finishing 14th, held back by 6 pit stops and only 41 laps completed.

Key takeaways for teams: Pure pace alone does not dictate the final result at Dunois Kart. TEAM SKJ – PRO demonstrated that combining the field's best median rhythm with precise pit stop timing wins races, even with fewer laps. CAP KARTING FORMATION showed that Amateur teams can match or exceed Pro lap times. The gap between KEEP-PUSHING's 5th-best pace and their 9th-place finish is a clear reminder that endurance is as much about strategy and consistency as outright speed.
