On July 25, 2026, Kartcentrum Lelystad hosted its 2-hour endurance race on the 735-metre circuit, bringing together 23 teams for 123 minutes of intense competition. At the finish, it was KORENBERG RACING (kart #24) that took a dominant victory with 163 laps, one lap ahead of TEAM BALTAZARS and two ahead of 2 FAST RACING TEAM.

KORENBERG RACING led the way not only on the results sheet but also in pure pace. Their median lap time of 43.138 s — best of the entire field — was backed by remarkable consistency: a race-long standard deviation of just 0.64 s. Across six stints, the team posted stable, controlled performances with no sign of degradation, their fastest individual lap of the race clocking in at 42.116 s. With 5 pit stops, their strategy matched the benchmark of the field.

TEAM BALTAZARS (kart #10) finished second with 162 laps, just one lap down. Their median race rhythm of 43.378 s placed them 3rd in pure pace, though consistency (σ = 0.93) was less tight than the leader's, with notable variation between stints — alternating faster relays around 42.8 s median and slower ones above 44.1 s. Their best lap of 42.220 s confirms genuine speed across the race. 2 FAST RACING TEAM (kart #42) rounded out the podium with 161 laps; ranked only 5th in pure rhythm (43.615 s), they made the most of efficient pit work and consistency (σ = 0.79) to hold off BATTIBOYS.

BATTIBOYS (kart #32) deserve a special mention: with the 2nd-best pure pace in the field (43.299 s, σ = 0.64), they matched the leader's consistency but finished 4th — separated from 3rd place by a mere 5.871 seconds at the flag. Their six stints were uniformly stable, with a best lap of 42.629 s.

One of the most striking stories of the race was that of LAMMERTINK/WENSINK RACING (kart #14), who set the fastest lap of the entire race at 39.089 s — a remarkable benchmark — yet finished 19th in the overall classification, listed with no total lap count recorded.

Further down the order, WELLCITY-RACING (kart #26) stands out as the most consistent team of the day, posting the lowest standard deviation across the race (σ = 0.49 s) and ranking 6th in pure rhythm — yet finishing only 7th. DE SLIPSTREAMERS (kart #31) present a similar profile: ranked 10th in pure pace but classified 16th, suggesting that time lost in the pits or on-track incidents eroded what their lap times alone could have delivered. Conversely, ANYTYME HET CENTRUM (kart #19) — ranked only 17th in pure rhythm — ended the race 8th overall, an illustration of strategy and circumstances playing their part.

At the back of the field, ALMOST FAST (kart #7) completed 130 laps in 17th, and HAJO RACING (kart #4) crossed the line 23rd with 148 laps and a best lap of 45.730 s. VOSSEN RACING (kart #1) notably made 7 pit stops — the most of any team — while finishing 15th.

Key takeaways for teams: KORENBERG RACING's victory was built on a rare combination of the field's best median rhythm and strong consistency maintained across all six stints — a benchmark for any squad targeting the top step at Lelystad. BATTIBOYS show that 2nd-best pace is not enough without the laps to match: every second lost in the pit lane counts. WELLCITY-RACING's consistency (σ = 0.49 s) is a model to emulate, but pure regularity must be paired with raw pace to convert into a top-5 result. Finally, DE SLIPSTREAMERS' gap between pace ranking (10th) and final position (16th) underlines that race management and time-in-pit remain decisive factors over a 2-hour stint at Kartcentrum Lelystad.
