The endurance Final at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735-metre circuit, Lelystad) on 27 September 2026 brought together 24 teams for a 69-minute race that delivered a clear hierarchy at the front while mid-field and the tail of the field told more complex stories.

JAYDEN BOEF RACING (kart #16) took the chequered flag in dominant fashion, completing 85 laps and finishing one lap clear of the pursuing duo. The team also set the fastest lap of the entire race — 41.439 s — and led the field both in pure pace (median lap time 41.771 s) and in consistency (standard deviation of just 0.31 s), a combination that left no room for doubt over the outcome.

DRR ROBIN JOOSTEN (kart #12) secured second place with 86 laps completed, crossing the line 19.412 s behind the winner on corrected time. Their second stint, covering 64 laps at a median of 41.858 s, showed a marked step forward in pace compared to their opening stint and earned them 2nd place in the pure-pace standings. DRR DUKE (kart #37) rounded out the podium, also on 86 laps but a further 35.286 s back. Their pace was consistent across both stints (42.123 s median in each), though a higher lap-time standard deviation (0.71 s) points to slightly less regularity than the top two.

GAS IS ALLES (kart #26, 5th in pure pace) finished 4th, one lap down, ahead of CASPERZWAAN (kart #9) in 5th. Both teams completed 85 laps and each made a single pit stop. S&B MOTERSPORT (kart #6) and MAASLAND FC (kart #22) filled positions 6th and 7th on 84 laps, separated by just 2.028 s; notably, S&B MOTERSPORT improved their median pace significantly from their first stint (42.888 s) to their second (42.579 s). Positions 8th through 12th — DRR FERRY, LICHTMACHT, DRR YARNO DRENT, DRR ALLARD, and JWKARTING — all finished on 84 laps within 33 seconds of one another, underlining how tightly fought that group was.

Further down the order, DRR JARI (kart #28, 22nd place) stands out as the most striking case of pace not translating into results: their pure pace ranked 4th in the entire field, yet they finished 22nd, 42 laps off the lead. DRR R.WEGGEMANS (kart #8, 21st) faced a similarly difficult afternoon, completing only 37 laps. RED COOL TEAM (kart #41, 19th) posted the race's most significant pace degradation, slowing by 0.97 s per lap over their second stint. DRR TYGO DRENT (kart #38) completed just 12 laps, finishing last of the 24 starters.

What teams should take away: This Final confirmed that at Kartcentrum Lelystad, sustained regularity over a 69-minute race is at least as decisive as raw speed. JAYDEN BOEF RACING's victory rested on both the best pace and the best consistency in the field — a rare double. The contrasting stories of DRR JARI (4th-fastest pace, 22nd place) and RED COOL TEAM (0.97 s/lap degradation in their second stint) serve as sharp reminders that pace management and incident-free running are non-negotiable in endurance racing. Teams aiming for the top five should target a lap-time standard deviation below 0.55 s and keep their median pace under 42.4 s on this circuit.
