On 19 August 2026, Kartcentrum Lelystad hosted its 2-hour endurance race on the 735-metre circuit, with 23 teams taking the start. At the end of 125 minutes of racing, it was SIMON & SEBASTIAAN (kart #42) who crossed the finish line first, completing 163 laps — the same total as runners-up SPEEDYLADIES, but with a margin of 39.331 seconds in favour of the winners at the flag.

SPEEDYLADIES (kart #44) secured second place after 163 laps, setting the fastest lap of the entire race with a 42.136s on their final stint. TOAST & ROCKCHEETAH (kart #14) completed the podium one lap down (162 laps), 5 stops matching the top two's strategy. BLUEFLAGGROUP (kart #29) finished fourth also on 162 laps, 35.778s behind their row-mates. FLOWER POWER (kart #24) and VESPER (kart #1) rounded out the top six, both on 161 laps, separated by just 9.389 seconds at the line.

From a pure pace standpoint, the finishing order perfectly mirrored the rhythm hierarchy across the top six: SIMON & SEBASTIAAN posted the best median race pace at 42.863s per lap, followed by SPEEDYLADIES (43.206s, 2nd in pure pace), TOAST & ROCKCHEETAH (43.334s, 3rd) and BLUEFLAGGROUP (43.490s, 4th). Consistency was also excellent at the front — SIMON & SEBASTIAAN's overall standard deviation of 0.78s reflects a composed, controlled race across all six stints, each of which was rated stable.

Deeper in the field, FVD RACING (kart #6) stands out as the most notable outlier. Classified 19th with only 59 laps completed, they held the 7th-best pure pace of the entire field — a strong median rhythm that could not be converted into a result, as their race was severely truncated. The data does not indicate the cause of the shortened run.

JAMES (NOG BETALEN) (kart #12) was the most consistent team of the race with a standard deviation of just 0.61s, finishing 7th overall despite ranking only 10th in pure pace — a testimony to their exemplary regularity over six stints. PROEFLOKAAL RACING (kart #26), on the other hand, showed the 8th-best pace in the field but could only manage 12th place, with a high irregularity (σ = 1.34s) hurting their overall performance. KART BROTHERS (kart #18) also struggled with consistency (σ = 1.43s), their final stint showing a pace degradation of 0.15s per lap — the most notable end-of-stint fade in the top twelve.

All teams in the top 18 made exactly 5 pit stops; SJM LEGENDS, THE BOYS, HOLLAND-USA POWER, GRAN TURISMO, THE POARTY TRAPPERS and NEED FOR SPEED each made 6 or 7 visits to the pits.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartcentrum Lelystad, victory came from combining the sharpest median pace with rock-solid regularity — SIMON & SEBASTIAAN achieved both. SPEEDYLADIES demonstrated that pace alone (fastest lap, 2nd best rhythm) is not enough without the consistency to match. Teams with strong raw speed but high lap-time variance, such as PROEFLOKAAL RACING and KART BROTHERS, left significant positions on the table. Managing stint length to avoid end-of-stint degradation and keeping all pit-stop counts in line with the field (5 stops) proved to be the baseline strategic requirement on this circuit.
