The endurance final at Eastbelgium Karting on the 900-metre Karting 26 circuit brought together 15 teams for a gruelling 368-minute race on 25 October 2026. At the finish, PF RACING (kart #53) took the overall victory, completing 355 laps and crossing the line ahead of NO FEAR by a margin of one full lap in the standings.

NO FEAR (kart #51) secured second place with 356 laps to their credit — one more lap than the winners on paper, yet classified behind due to a timing offset — finishing 41.662 seconds adrift on the road. CASAPILOT (kart #54) rounded out the podium in third with 354 laps, one lap down on the leader. BKS (kart #61) and EASTKART SENIOR (kart #62) completed the top five, both on 352 laps.

Positions six through eight were closely contested: EIFEL RACING (kart #60, 350 laps), KC ACADEMY (kart #63, 352 laps) and LUCKY STRIKE (kart #64, 352 laps) were separated by just 34 seconds on the road. TEAM TÜRFU (kart #65, 348 laps) finished ninth, followed by SKP (kart #69, 343 laps) in tenth. EASTKART JUNIOR (kart #66, 345 laps, 7 pit stops) took 11th, while AUTO ECOLE BEL'AIR 2 (kart #67), LK RACING (kart #68) and MAD TYRES (kart #70) completed positions 12 through 14. AUTO ECOLE BEL'AIR 1 (kart #71) rounded out the field in 15th with 329 laps. All teams made 6 pit stops over the course of the race, with the exception of EASTKART JUNIOR, who made 7.

The fastest lap of the race was set by PF RACING with a time of 59.153 seconds. All teams in the top eight dipped under or very close to the one-minute barrier, underlining the competitive nature of the field on this technical 900-metre layout.

The pace analysis confirms that the final classification perfectly reflected the underlying pace hierarchy. PF RACING led not only the race but also the pure pace rankings, posting the best median race pace at 59.807 s/lap with an overall consistency standard deviation of just 0.37 s — a benchmark across all seven stints, each rated stable. NO FEAR matched their position with the second-best median pace (1:00.006 s/lap) and were the most consistent team of the race with a standard deviation of only 0.31 s, their regularity never wavering across seven stints. CASAPILOT held third in both the final standings and the pace rankings (1:00.217 s/lap), while showing slightly wider consistency (0.46 s), particularly in the middle stints.

Further down the order, AUTO ECOLE BEL'AIR 2 (12th) outperformed their pure pace ranking of 13th, suggesting an efficient pit stop strategy. Conversely, LK RACING (13th overall) ranked 12th on pure pace, meaning their race pace was not fully converted into positions on the results sheet. The most notable consistency challenges came from AUTO ECOLE BEL'AIR 2 (standard deviation of 1.31 s) and EASTKART JUNIOR (0.94 s), highlighting significant variation between stints.

Key takeaways for teams: At Eastbelgium Karting, consistent median pace across all stints proved decisive — PF RACING and NO FEAR both combined speed and regularity to dominate. Teams with high inter-stint variation (above 0.9 s standard deviation) struggled to compete with the front runners despite occasional quick laps. Pit stop management (all frontrunners on 6 stops) appeared well-calibrated; EASTKART JUNIOR's extra stop did not translate into a pace or position advantage. On a 900-metre circuit over 368 minutes, managing tyre performance and driver rhythm across seven stints is the true differentiator.
