The Finale of the endurance race at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m, Lelystad) took place on 20 September 2026, bringing together 17 teams over 68 minutes of racing. The fight at the front was fierce, with the top two finishers separated by only 2.224 seconds after 84 laps.

WESBAKKER (kart #26) claimed victory by completing 84 laps, edging out SANTILOCO (kart #42) by just 2.224 seconds at the chequered flag. Both teams made a single pit stop and matched each other lap for lap throughout the race. WESBAKKER posted a best lap of 41.974 s, while SANTILOCO set the fastest lap of the entire race with a stunning 41.913 s. The margin of victory reflects just how closely matched these two outfits were over the full distance.

Third place went to JESPERB (kart #15, 83 laps), finishing one lap down. TFR (kart #45) took fourth just 0.185 s behind JESPERB, with JUST QWERTY (kart #10) completing the top five, 1.377 s further back. All three ran 83 laps and each made a single pit stop. FM-KARTING (kart #22) finished sixth at two laps down, also on a one-stop strategy.

WESLEYVK (kart #30) finished seventh with 69 laps completed and two pit stops, while PR RACING (kart #6) and SILL1 (kart #19) took eighth and ninth respectively, both at three laps down. SLOW AND SLOWER (kart #20) rounded out the top ten at four laps adrift. ROADRUNNER020 (kart #34) had a difficult race, ending twelfth with only 33 laps completed and three pit stops. The remaining teams — SCUDERIA MITCHELITO, CARORACING, FLOENK RACING, LIEFTING CORSA RACING, HOTMALES and SWILLIS RACING — finished between 5 and 11 laps behind the leaders.

From a pure pace perspective, WESBAKKER was the benchmark, posting the best median pace of the field at 42.363 s — the only team to combine the race win with the top pace ranking. SANTILOCO was second in pace at 42.401 s, illustrating how paper-thin the gap was between these two all race long. TFR (median 43.094 s) held third in pace despite finishing fourth, while JUST QWERTY (43.176 s) and JESPERB (43.177 s) were virtually indistinguishable in pure rhythm — yet JESPERB finished one place ahead on count-back.

On consistency, WESLEYVK stood out as the most regular team on track, posting the lowest standard deviation of the field at just 0.38 s across its laps. ROADRUNNER020 deserves a special mention: despite finishing twelfth overall (hampered by three pit stops and only 33 laps on the board), the team's pace placed them sixth among all participants — a clear gap between raw speed and final position. Among the frontrunners, both WESBAKKER and SANTILOCO tightened their consistency notably in their second stints, with standard deviations dropping from 0.62 and 0.71 to just 0.27 and 0.31 respectively — a sign of settled, disciplined driving under pressure.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartcentrum Lelystad, a single well-timed pit stop appears optimal over 68 minutes, as all top-six finishers used that strategy. Pure pace and consistency are the decisive factors at the front — WESBAKKER won by combining both. Teams with strong raw speed must minimise time lost in the pits and out-laps: ROADRUNNER020's multiple stops were the primary factor behind their classification far below their pace ranking.
