The Kartcentrum Lelystad 735-metre circuit hosted its 2-hour endurance race on 19 September 2026, with 30 teams taking the start. After 125 minutes of racing, it was FRISTI&CHOCOMEL (kart #34) who crossed the line first with an outstanding 165 laps completed, claiming victory ahead of PUTJES RACING and BDE RACING.

FRISTI&CHOCOMEL dominated from start to finish. Their median race pace of 42.572 s was the best of the entire field, and their consistency — reflected in a lap-time standard deviation of just 0.68 s — confirmed a controlled, faultless run across all six stints. The team also set the fastest lap of the race with a 41.644 s effort, further underlining their all-round superiority. With 5 pit stops, their strategy matched that of the majority of the top finishers.

PUTJES RACING (kart #2) secured second place with 163 laps, finishing 2 laps down on the winners. Their median pace of 43.141 s ranked them second in pure pace, though a slightly higher standard deviation of 0.98 s pointed to more variable stints — notably a sixth relais at 44.245 s median, notably slower than their best efforts of around 42.5 s. Their best lap of 41.879 s was nonetheless the second fastest of the race.

BDE RACING (kart #32) completed the podium with 162 laps, 3 laps behind the winner. Their pace (43.547 s median) and consistency (0.87 s) were solid throughout six stints, with alternating faster and slower relais suggesting a multi-driver format with varying profiles.

Fourth-placed DE_FLITSERS (kart #42) finished with only 132 laps — a significant gap to the top three — despite posting the 5th best pure pace (44.022 s median). Fifth went to (W)P(R)S RACING TEAM (kart #26) with 160 laps; their pace ranked only 8th in the field, but consistent lap counts helped them to a strong classification.

One of the most interesting cases came from APEX RACING 1 (kart #14), who finished only 7th with 139 laps yet recorded the 4th best pure pace (43.936 s median) and shared the title of most consistent team in the race with a standard deviation of just 0.68 s — equal to the winners. Their lap total suggests time was lost elsewhere, not to pace.

ALL WEIGHT NO GAIN (kart #7) deserves mention for a contrasting performance: ranked 10th in pure pace, they finished only 16th with a mere 56 laps completed. Their third stint showed the most significant pace drop of the race, losing 0.63 s per lap, which had a decisive impact on their final tally.

At the foot of the standings, THE GT3 KILLERS (kart #45) completed 132 laps with the slowest best lap of the race at 46.266 s and required 6 pit stops, finishing 34 laps down on the leaders.

Key takeaways for teams: FRISTI&CHOCOMEL showed that combining the fastest pure pace with high consistency across all six stints leaves no room for rivals to respond. APEX RACING 1's example illustrates that raw pace and regularity alone are not enough if lap count suffers — total race time on track is equally decisive. The contrast between ALL WEIGHT NO GAIN's pace ranking (10th) and their final position (16th) highlights how a single damaging stint can compromise an entire race.
