DHG prokarts karting event · Finale 45min Race⏱ 50 min

DHG & BRIDGEGAP claimed victory in the 45-minute endurance final held on 10 September 2026 at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m), dominating a 19-kart field from start to finish. The race lasted 49 minutes in total and saw the winning kart (#24) complete 59 laps — two clear laps ahead of their nearest rival.

DHG & OOMS (kart #34) secured second place with 57 laps completed, finishing 2 laps down on the winners. DHG & MOLENAAR (kart #38) rounded out the podium, also on 57 laps but 17.082 seconds behind DHG & OOMS. Colliers #1 (kart #42) and Cushman & Wakefield (kart #28) completed the top five, both on 57 laps, separated by 9.395 seconds at the flag. All top-five finishers made 3 pit stops each.

The best lap of the race was set by the winners: DHG & BRIDGEGAP recorded a 42.375 s lap (kart #24), a benchmark that no other team came close to matching. Their median race pace of 44.321 s/lap also made them the fastest team in terms of pure pace — an almost flawless correlation between speed and result.

Looking at the pace analysis, Cushman & Wakefield posted the 3rd-best median pace (45.849 s) despite finishing only 5th — their race pace deserved more reward. Conversely, Industrial RE Partners (kart #13, 12th) recorded the 4th-best median pace of the entire field, a striking gap between raw speed and final classification.

JLL (kart #11, 7th) stood out as the most consistent team of the race, with a standard deviation of just 0.91 s across all their laps — the lowest figure in the field. Their four stints were all remarkably uniform, and their best lap of 45.460 s was competitive within their group. A model of regularity, even if their median pace (46.957 s, 13th-best) limited their final position.

At the other end of the spectrum, DHG & BRIDGEGAP delivered four stints of outstanding quality, with their fastest stints (relays 1 and 3) both showing a regularity standard deviation below 0.75 s — exceptional for a 49-minute event. Their slowest relay (relay 2) still featured a best lap of 43.077 s, confirming the depth of their pace throughout.

DHG & MOLENAAR, while finishing 3rd on the road, ranked only 9th in pure pace (median 46.674 s), suggesting their result owed much to clean execution across 3 pit stops and consistent stint management — particularly a 19-lap relay 3 at 45.721 s median. Colliers #1 (4th, 11th in pure pace) followed a similar pattern.

At the back of the field, DHG (kart #8 in the classification, last) was classified 40 laps down having completed only a partial race distance, with just 2 pit stops recorded against 3 for the rest of the front runners.

Key takeaways for teams: Pure pace was rewarded at the top — DHG & BRIDGEGAP led every metric that mattered. For the chasing pack, consistency proved more decisive than raw speed: JLL's regularity (σ = 0.91 s) and DHG & MOLENAAR's long clean stints outscored faster but less disciplined rivals. Industrial RE Partners' 4th-best pace converting to only 12th place highlights the cost of lost time outside timed laps. Teams targeting a top-5 in future editions at Kartcentrum Lelystad should prioritise both stint length management and minimising time lost at pit stops.
