Dutch Business Karting Series · Finale Race

The Finale at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m circuit, Lelystad) on 4 September 2026 brought together 28 teams for a fiercely contested endurance race. At the end of a long battle played out over more than 150 laps for the frontrunners, it was WEBTIFY (kart #19) who took the victory, completing 154 laps and finishing a lap ahead of the chasing pack in the overall standings.

AANNEMERSBEDRIJF VAN BREDA (kart #6) secured second place, also on 154 laps but 4.299 seconds adrift at the flag, while THE BIKE GURU (kart #9) rounded out the podium, likewise on 154 laps. Fourth went to IBRIQUE VASTGOED (kart #25), 18.136 s behind third, with KROON PARKET (kart #10) fifth on 153 laps. All top finishers made 7 pit stops apiece, as did the vast majority of the field.

The fastest lap of the race was set by IBRIQUE VASTGOED in a stunning 42.926 s, the only team to dip below the 43-second barrier all afternoon. Despite that raw speed, IBRIQUE VASTGOED had to be content with fourth position — a reminder that endurance racing rewards consistency and strategy as much as outright pace.

On pure median pace, WEBTIFY led all comers with a race median of 44.502 s and a consistency figure of 1.03 s standard deviation — the tightest among the top four. Their eight stints were all characterised as stable, confirming a disciplined and controlled race management from start to finish. AANNEMERSBEDRIJF VAN BREDA matched them lap-for-lap but showed a slight fade in their final stint (losing 0.49 s per lap in pace), a detail that may have cost them any late challenge for the lead. THE BIKE GURU sat third in pure pace as well as on the road, with a median of 44.727 s.

One of the standout analytical findings concerns RACINGSCHOOL OF THE NETHERLANDS#1 (kart #37), who finished 7th overall yet ranked 5th in pure pace with the best consistency figure among all teams analysed: a standard deviation of just 0.96 s. Their seven stints were all marked as stable, illustrating a textbook endurance approach. Conversely, VAN VELZEN (kart #42) ranked 8th in pure pace but could only manage 14th position on the road — pace alone did not translate into result. Meanwhile, CODE CAPI (kart #1) was 7th in pure pace but finished 9th, and the most consistent team across the entire field was INTER PROFESSIONALS (kart #16), with a standard deviation of just 0.89 s across three remarkably long stints — yet they had to settle for 11th place.

Further down the order, RACINGSCHOOL OF THE NETHERLANDS#2 (kart #41) is flagged as the team that most outperformed its pure pace ranking: finishing 13th on the road despite a raw pace ranking of only 24th, suggesting strong strategic or operational management on the day. At the other end of the spectrum, BOONSTOPPEL AFBOUW (kart #36) and DROOGDIAGNOSE (kart #31) completed very few laps (11 and 73 respectively), leaving them well off the pace of the classified finishers.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartcentrum Lelystad, the 4 September 2026 Finale confirmed that the combination of best median pace and high consistency is the winning formula — WEBTIFY held both. Teams with strong raw speed but variable pace (VAN VELZEN, IBRIQUE VASTGOED) paid the price in final standings. The slight pace drop recorded by AANNEMERSBEDRIJF VAN BREDA in their closing stint underlines how managing tyre and driver fatigue through to the final laps remains critical. INTER PROFESSIONALS' near-perfect regularity (σ = 0.89 s) with only three stints shows an alternative strategic model worth studying.
