The Finale endurance race at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m circuit, Lelystad) took place on August 2, 2026, bringing together 21 teams over 64 minutes of racing. It was a demanding event that rewarded pace, consistency and pit-stop discipline in equal measure.

JAYDEN BOEF RACING (kart 27) took a dominant victory, completing 83 laps — one more than most rivals — with a single pit stop. Their winning margin over second-placed SCUDERIA BRAMBILLA stood at 31.327 seconds, while DUTCHRACINGTRIO (DRT) 1 (kart 33) rounded out the podium, also on 83 laps, 37.161 seconds behind the winner. SCUDERIA BRAMBILLA and DRT 1 were the only other teams to match the winner's lap count.

SEVEREIN (kart 19) finished 4th, one lap down, followed by JW KARTING (kart 26, +5.828 s), DUTCHRACINGTRIO (DRT) 3 (kart 37, +8.163 s) and MP MOTORSPORT (kart 4, +9.193 s), all on 82 laps. ALESSANDRO SCIARRONE (kart 10) completed the top 8 at 14.648 seconds from 7th.

The fastest lap of the entire race was set by RC2 (kart 2) in 42.366 seconds — a remarkable benchmark that illustrates the gap between raw speed and race result: RC2 ultimately crossed the line in 15th place, having made 3 pit stops compared to the single stop used by the frontrunners.

From a pure pace perspective, JAYDEN BOEF RACING led the field with a median race pace of 42.919 s (best pace ranking: 1st) and the finest consistency of the field (standard deviation of just 0.43 s). Their two stints were both rated stable — 35 laps at 42.847 s median, then 47 laps at 42.975 s — with no meaningful degradation across the race distance. It was a complete performance.

SCUDERIA BRAMBILLA, 2nd on the road, ranked only 4th in pure pace (median 43.254 s, σ 0.63 s), showing that their result owed as much to clean race management as to outright speed. Conversely, RC2 held the 2nd fastest median pace in the field yet paid a heavy price for their three passages through the pits, finishing 15th.

JW KARTING stands out as the race's strategic overachiever: ranked only 9th in pure pace (median 43.605 s), they converted a single pit stop and consistent rhythm into 5th place overall — four positions better than their pace alone would suggest.

DUTCHRACINGTRIO (DRT) 1 (σ 0.53 s) and AJ (σ 0.52 s) were among the most consistent teams outside the top 1, while TEAM MEIJER showed the highest variability in the analysed field (σ 1.02 s), their second stint median slipping to 45.159 s against 44.231 s in the first.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartcentrum Lelystad, the winning formula on August 2, 2026 was clear — a single pit stop combined with best-in-field pace and consistency (JAYDEN BOEF RACING, σ 0.43 s) proved unbeatable. High raw speed without pit-stop discipline cost RC2 dearly (2nd fastest pace, 15th place, 3 stops). Strategic efficiency, as demonstrated by JW KARTING, can compensate for a pace deficit of up to four ranking positions. Managing tyre consistency across long stints — particularly in the second half of each stint — was the critical differentiator over 64 minutes.
