LUMBERJACK EN BUTCHER claimed victory in the 90-minute endurance final held on 29 July 2026 at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m), completing 118 laps ahead of 20 rival teams over a 93-minute race distance. Their margin over second-placed LENNART BART stood at 6 laps, while LUCKY DUCK rounded out the podium a further lap behind in third.

The race's fastest lap was also set by the winners: LUMBERJACK EN BUTCHER posted a best time of 42.923 s (kart #2), the quickest lap of the entire event. Their overall pace was equally dominant — a median race pace of 44.117 s placed them first in pure speed among all 21 starters, with a lap-time standard deviation of just 1.24 s across 118 laps and six stints, all rated stable. That combination of outright speed, consistency and clean strategy management made the difference from start to finish.

LENNART BART (kart #13) were the closest challengers, holding second place in pure pace at a median of 45.232 s over 112 laps. Their six stints were largely stable, though the final stint (12 laps) showed a slight fade of 0.25 s per lap — the most marked degradation recorded among the analysed teams. They crossed the line 6 laps down with a best lap of 43.340 s.

LUCKY DUCK (kart #11) completed the podium with 111 laps, a best lap of 44.650 s and a median pace of 46.125 s — ranking them only 6th in pure pace. Their result reflects solid reliability and consistent stint management across six relays, including a notable improving trend in stint 3 (accelerating by 0.36 s per lap).

One of the afternoon's most striking stories was BIJNA PERFECT (kart #34), who finished 6th in the classification despite ranking only 18th in pure pace (median 47.343 s). Five stints, five stable tendency ratings, and a standard deviation of just 1.09 s tell the story of a team that maximised every lap through discipline and strategy.

At the other end of the spectrum, ZEMMERS (kart #26) posted the 4th-best pure pace in the analysed data, yet finished 12th — a gap that illustrates the cost of time lost outside the cockpit or on slower laps. Meanwhile, the most consistent team of the race on a lap-to-lap basis was MV/MB (kart #32), whose standard deviation of 0.99 s was the lowest recorded, though they finished 8th with 112 laps.

DAAN EN GAAN (kart #19, 4th) and MV/MB (kart #33, 5th) both completed significantly fewer laps than the top three — 33 and 32 respectively — suggesting time lost in the pits; DAAN EN GAAN made 7 pit stops against 5 for most competitors.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartcentrum Lelystad, outright pace is necessary but not sufficient — BIJNA PERFECT's top-6 finish on 18th-ranked pace proves that stint regularity and pit-stop discipline can more than compensate for a speed deficit. Conversely, raw pace without consistent execution (ZEMMERS) leaves points on the table. The winning strategy of 5 pit stops, stable stints throughout and a median pace under 44.2 s set the benchmark for future 90-minute events at this circuit.
