The endurance final at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m), held on 16 August 2026, brought together 28 teams for 73 minutes of racing on the Lelystad circuit. From start to finish, the event delivered a clear hierarchy at the front, with a dominant performance by the overall winner, while the battle for the remaining positions remained tight throughout the field.

JAYDEN BOEF RACING (kart #2) took a commanding victory, completing 85 laps — one more than the chasing pack — and setting the fastest lap of the entire race with a 41.809 s effort. Their median race pace of 42.251 s ranked them first in pure pace among all 28 teams, and a consistency figure of 0.55 s standard deviation confirmed the solidity of their performance across both stints. Their first stint (41 laps, median 42.247 s, stable tendency) and second stint (43 laps, median 42.255 s, stable tendency) were virtually identical in rhythm, leaving no weakness for rivals to exploit.

OWEN KC RACING (kart #10) secured second place with 84 laps and a gap of 40.2 seconds to the leader. They ranked 2nd in pure pace (median 42.752 s) and were the most consistent team of the race, posting the lowest standard deviation overall at 0.51 s. Their second stint was notably tighter (0.34 s deviation, 35 laps), underlining their ability to sustain a clean, regular rhythm to the end.

JESPERB (kart #23) completed the podium, finishing 84 laps and trailing OWEN KC RACING by one lap at the flag. Their median pace of 42.858 s ranked 3rd in the field. In 4th, TIBO RACING (kart #29, 84 laps, 8.5 s behind 3rd) matched the same lap count with a median of 42.905 s and a strong second stint consistency of 0.42 s. YANNICK (kart #31) rounded out the top 5, also on 84 laps, having run an impressive near-complete single stint of 79 laps before pitting, with a stable pace throughout (median 43.086 s).

Further down the order, two teams stand out on the analytical side. JWKARTING (kart #32) ranked 9th in pure pace (median pace in the top tier of the mid-field) yet finished only 19th, the gap explained by their two pit stops against the single stop made by most competitors. Meanwhile, CHRONO MOTORSPORT (kart #35, 6th) posted the 7th best pure pace but improved their race position thanks to a notably faster and more consistent second stint (median 42.973 s, deviation 0.28 s) — the tightest second-stint consistency among all multi-stint runners in the analysed group. SIMON AANTJES RACING (kart #4) finished 7th despite holding the 6th best race rhythm, another case where strategy and execution were closely matched.

In the lower half of the field, AUDI SPORT (kart #30) finished 16th in the results but ranked only 27th in pure pace, suggesting a strategic or operational factor that did not translate into final position gain.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartcentrum Lelystad, the winner combined the best raw pace with near-perfect consistency across both stints — a benchmark for any endurance contender. The single pit stop proved the dominant strategy, with both double-stoppers (JWKARTING, CATE EN KING, RIDDER) finishing outside the top 18. Consistency, not just outright speed, separated the top five: OWEN KC RACING's regularity (0.51 s deviation) was the finest of the race, and TIBO RACING's second stint (0.42 s) shows that tyre management and stable rhythm over long stints remain decisive at this circuit.
