3 HEURES · Finale Race⏱ 2h31

The Finale endurance race at KARTHORS (Cieurac, Parc d'Activité Cahors Sud) took place on 8 November 2026 over 151 minutes on the 800-metre karting circuit, with 17 teams on the grid. The result produced a closely fought top three, with the final positions decided by a combination of race pace and consistency.

AKCL RACING (kart #9) claimed overall victory with 181 laps completed. Despite finishing one lap ahead of the second-placed crew on the road — the gap being listed as "Tour 190" — their rivals FAMILY KART (kart #11) and SLS BY AKCL (kart #5) both recorded 182 laps, finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively, the latter separated from the runner-up by one lap in classification. SPACE 2 (kart #6) crossed the line 4th with 180 laps, followed by KARTCHOW (kart #1) and MEDIBAT (kart #16), both credited with 178 laps, in 5th and 6th. TEAM COCAIL (kart #10) rounded out the top seven.

The fastest lap of the race was set by FAMILY KART in a time of 44.603 s, the sharpest single lap posted by any team across the entire event.

Pure pace analysis reveals a striking contrast at the sharp end. AKCL RACING won the race with a median pace of 45.328 s — the 2nd-best pure rhythm — and an excellent consistency figure of 0.92 s standard deviation, their single stint rated stable throughout. SLS BY AKCL posted the 3rd-best median pace (45.478 s, σ = 0.95 s), edging out FAMILY KART's 4th-ranked rhythm (45.509 s), showing that the race winner combined strong pace with the best regularity among the front-runners.

The standout strategic story of the race belongs to KARTCHOW, who finished 5th overall despite ranking only 9th in pure pace (median 46.271 s). Their ability to bank laps efficiently — with a stable stint and σ of 0.97 s — allowed them to outperform several quicker rivals on the road.

At the other end of the performance spectrum, TEAM OLIMA (kart #8) recorded the best pure median pace of the entire field at 41.782 s, yet finished 17th and last. This exceptional raw speed clearly did not translate into competitive lap count, illustrating how race management and reliability outweigh outright pace over a 151-minute stint.

The most consistent team of the day was BIB TEAM (kart #19), who posted a remarkable standard deviation of just 0.54 s — the lowest on the grid — finishing 9th. TEAM COCAIL was similarly impressive in regularity (σ = 0.76 s) while finishing 7th.

Key takeaways for teams: This race confirmed that at KARTHORS, sustainable median pace combined with low lap-time variation is the winning formula. AKCL RACING's combination of 2nd-best rhythm and tightest consistency among the top finishers proved decisive. KARTCHOW's top-5 result from a 9th-ranked pace underlines the value of error-free race management. Meanwhile, TEAM OLIMA's paradox — fastest median, last place — is a reminder that pure speed alone counts for nothing without reliability across the full race distance.
