Nineteen teams lined up for the 68-minute Endurance Final at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m) on 6 September 2026, and it was VRG Racing Team (kart #2) who took the chequered flag with an authoritative all-round performance.

The race result was settled by a one-lap margin: while Niek Fennemann (#42) and JR Racing (#14) both completed 85 laps — finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively separated by just 1.728 seconds — VRG Racing Team was classified ahead of them despite completing only 53 laps, their gap to the leader recorded as "Ronde 85" in the timing sheets. A.A.L. Racing (#24) crossed the line in 4th on 84 laps, one lap down on the podium duo, while RARA Vitara (#40) and GAS LOS (#18), both also on 84 laps, rounded out the top seven alongside KEES PROOCE (#11) in 5th on 79 laps.

The fastest lap of the entire race was set by VRG Racing Team in a time of 41.140 s — a benchmark none of the other 18 crews could match. That raw pace translated directly into the standings: VRG Racing Team posted the best median race pace at 41.528 s per lap, and was equally the most consistent crew on circuit with a lap-time standard deviation of just 0.32 s across a 52-lap stint that the data rates as perfectly stable.

Behind the winner, the rhythm hierarchy closely followed the finishing order. Niek Fennemann held 2nd place in pure pace (median 42.430 s) across two stable stints of 42 laps each, improving consistency from σ 0.54 to σ 0.33 in the second half. JR Racing was third quickest (42.465 s) and actually grew more consistent as the race wore on, delivering their best stint regularity (σ 0.20) in the final relais. A.A.L. Racing (42.590 s, 4th in pace) showed the opposite pattern: a high-variance first stint (σ 0.80) gave way to a much tidier second half (σ 0.27).

Further down the order, GAS LOS (7th in pace, median 42.836 s) split 58 and 25 laps at an identical median across both stints — a model of consistency — and finished 7th. FRISTI Racing (#4) actually improved their median pace between their two stints (43.038 → 42.951 s), yet finished 8th, two laps off the leaders. RARA Vitara, meanwhile, maintained a near-identical pace across 55 and 28-lap stints but sits 9th in pure-pace ranking despite a 6th-place finish — a sign that strategy and execution were well managed.

At the back, FLYING EAGLE — classified last after accumulating 16 laps' worth of penalties and making 6 pit stops — showed the steepest performance degradation in the field: their 3rd relais registered a drop of 0.43 s per lap. AMATEURS (#45) made 4 pit stops, the second highest count, and finished 18th. JUS C-HRT (#15) and PEKKEL PIJLSTOK (#32) were the only other crews to make 2 stops; all remaining classified finishers made a single pit stop.

Key takeaways for competing teams: VRG Racing Team's dominance was total — fastest lap, best median pace, and best consistency all in one package. The data also highlights that second-stint consistency tends to improve across most crews, suggesting tyre and kart management improves as drivers settle in. Teams eyeing a podium next time should focus on closing the rhythm gap to the 42.4–42.5 s median bracket while keeping lap-time variance below σ 0.35 — the level that separated the top three from the rest of the field.
