On 7 November 2026, the Kart Extrem circuit in St Genis de Saintonge hosted a 246-minute endurance race on its 1,150-metre layout, bringing together 18 teams for a highly competitive afternoon of racing.

TEAM BOCCASPEED (kart #12) took the victory with 168 laps completed, crossing the finish line a full lap clear of the chasing pack. Second place went to BOCCA SPEED RACING (kart #13) with 167 laps, just 0.274 seconds behind on the road — an incredibly tight margin at the flag. BRAS KC (kart #10) completed the podium, also on 167 laps but 1 lap down on BOCCA SPEED RACING in terms of time gap. BY SCHOOL (kart #9) finished fourth, only 0.117 seconds adrift of BRAS KC, making the battle for third and fourth one of the tightest contests of the race. MTRT (kart #2) rounded out the top five, 11.664 seconds behind BY SCHOOL.

The fastest lap of the race was set by BOCCA SPEED RACING in a time of 1:18.094, underlining their raw pace throughout the event. Despite this, they had to settle for second place overall.

Diving into the race analysis, BOCCA SPEED RACING held the best pure pace of the entire field with a median lap time of 1:19.082 — marginally quicker than winners TEAM BOCCASPEED (1:19.086). The difference between the two ultimately came down to consistency: TEAM BOCCASPEED posted a remarkable standard deviation of just 0.68 seconds, compared to 1.17 s for BOCCA SPEED RACING, whose greater lap-time variation proved costly over 246 minutes.

BRAS KC was the standout strategic performer of the race. Ranked only 5th in pure pace (median 1:19.922), the team converted that into a 3rd-place finish thanks to exceptional consistency — the lowest standard deviation of the entire field at 0.67 seconds. Their relentless regularity across 167 laps allowed them to outperform faster rivals.

In the midfield, BTBF (kart #1) delivered the 3rd-best pure rhythm (1:19.762) but could only manage 7th place overall, a gap of 2 laps to the top five. MTRT (kart #2) showed the 4th-best pace (1:19.852) and converted it into 5th, a solid performance. At the other end of the spectrum, HBM COMPÉTITION (kart #6) ranked 11th in pure pace yet finished 17th, suggesting that factors beyond lap time affected their race result.

Further back, AK47 (kart #15) in 8th, FULL GAZ RACING (kart #14) in 9th, and BOCCA SPEED JUNIOR (kart #11) in 10th completed the top ten, all finishing between 6 and 8 laps down on the leader.

Key takeaways for teams: This race was a textbook demonstration that raw pace alone does not win endurance events. BRAS KC's podium — achieved with the most consistent lap times on the grid despite only the 5th-best median pace — is the clearest lesson of the day. For BOCCA SPEED RACING, converting the best rhythm and the fastest lap of the race into a victory rather than a runner-up finish will require tightening lap-time consistency. TEAM BOCCASPEED's near-perfect 0.68 s standard deviation over 168 laps set the benchmark for what a winning performance looks like at Kart Extrem.
