The Finale endurance race at Kartcentrum Lelystad (735 m, Lelystad) brought together 24 teams on 27 September 2026 for a 69-minute battle across the 735-metre circuit. From the first lap to the chequered flag, the event delivered a clear hierarchy at the front while several battles raged through the midfield.

JAYDEN BOEF RACING (kart #16) took a dominant victory, completing 85 laps and crossing the line a full lap ahead of the chasing pack. Their winning margin was built on genuine pace: a median race rhythm of 41.771 s — the best of the entire field — combined with remarkable consistency, posting the lowest standard deviation of any team at 0.31 s. They also set the fastest lap of the race at 41.439 s. Both stints were stable, with the team never showing signs of drift or degradation throughout the 69 minutes.

DRR ROBIN JOOSTEN (kart #12) secured second place with 86 laps — one more than the winner — but finished 19.4 seconds behind on corrected time. Their median rhythm of 42.007 s placed them second in outright pace, and their second stint in particular was very strong (42.218 s → 41.858 s median), suggesting a well-timed pit stop strategy that paid dividends in the closing phase.

DRR DUKE (kart #37) rounded out the podium, also on 86 laps and 35.3 seconds adrift of the winner. Third in pure pace (42.123 s), they were the least consistent of the top three with a standard deviation of 0.71 s, though both stints remained stable in trend.

GAS IS ALLES (kart #26, 4th, 85 laps) finished one lap down on the leaders but held a solid rhythm of 42.371 s — their pace ranked 5th overall, a fair reflection of their finishing position. CASPERZWAAN (kart #9, 5th, 85 laps) completed the top five, 29.4 seconds behind 4th place, with a median rhythm of 42.666 s ranked 7th in the field.

Further back, S&B MOTERSPORT (6th, 84 laps) and MAASLAND FC (7th, 84 laps, gap: 2.0 s) battled closely within the same lap group, separated by just over two seconds at the flag. Notably, MAASLAND FC's second stint was slower than their first (42.623 s → 42.863 s median), while S&B MOTERSPORT showed the opposite trend, improving from 42.888 s to 42.579 s.

Among the notable contrasts deeper in the order, DRR JARI (kart #28, 22nd) stands out: despite ranking 4th in pure pace, the team finished 22nd overall after accumulating a 42-lap deficit, illustrating how on-track pace alone cannot compensate for time lost during the race. Meanwhile, RED COOL TEAM (kart #41, 19th) recorded the sharpest pace degradation in the field, slowing by 0.97 s per lap across their second stint.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartcentrum Lelystad over 69 minutes, the winner combined the best pure pace with the highest consistency in the field — a rare double that proved decisive. The data confirms that a stable, repeatable lap time across both stints outweighs isolated fast laps. Teams looking to move up the order should focus on reducing lap-time variance and managing tyre or mechanical degradation in the second half of the race, where several teams lost significant ground.
