The 92-minute endurance race at Circuit Kart Escale (706 m, Bort l'Etang) on 11 November 2026 brought together 10 teams for a demanding and closely fought contest. At the chequered flag, BARBA PABA (kart #37) claimed victory with a commanding margin, finishing a full lap ahead of the field.

Runner-up RICK ET MORTY TEAM (kart #41) crossed the line 30.125 seconds behind the leader after completing 113 laps, while DAD'N'SON (kart #39) secured third place one lap down. TEAM DUFOUR (kart #35) and WEPPLI TEAM (kart #43) rounded out the top five, both on 112 laps, separated by 28.609 seconds. MACH 12 (kart #44) finished sixth on 113 laps, two laps behind the leader. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by MACH 12 with a time of 42.836 s.

The race analysis reveals a striking gap between on-track performance and final classification. MACH 12 posted the best pure pace of the field, with a median lap time of 43.305 s (1st in pace ranking), yet only finished 6th — a result that underlines how decisive factors beyond raw speed can be in endurance racing. Their standard deviation of 0.94 s shows solid consistency, and their best lap of 42.836 s was unmatched all afternoon.

TEAM DUFOUR delivered the second-best median pace at 43.949 s, but their higher lap-time variability (standard deviation of 1.29 s — the widest among analysed teams) prevented them from capitalising fully on their speed, leaving them 4th at the flag.

RICK ET MORTY TEAM was the standout for consistency, posting the tightest standard deviation of the race at just 0.59 s — a remarkably regular performance across their 113 laps. Their median pace of 44.561 s placed them 3rd in pure rhythm, and their disciplined approach converted into a solid 2nd-place finish.

DAD'N'SON provides one of the most interesting reading points of the race: ranked only 5th in pure pace (median 44.764 s, standard deviation 0.92 s), they nonetheless climbed to 3rd in the final standings, outperforming their raw speed — a sign of effective race management across the 92 minutes.

WEPPLI TEAM (median 44.727 s, standard deviation 0.86 s) and POMPON RACING TEAM (7th in pace, 9th in classification) also showed good consistency without converting it into a stronger result. ALFAUVERGNE RACING TEAM finished 8th on 109 laps, with both their pace (45.481 s median) and classification (8th in pace ranking) aligned.

Key takeaways for teams: Pure pace alone does not win endurance races at Kart Escale — MACH 12's experience illustrates this clearly. Lap-time consistency (as shown by RICK ET MORTY TEAM's 0.59 s standard deviation) and race management (DAD'N'SON's gain of two positions over their pace ranking) proved just as decisive as raw speed over 92 minutes on this 706-metre circuit.
