100 MILES #10 · Finale Race⏱ 2h02

The Endurance Final at Karting Genk (Track PRO, 1,360 m) took place on 6 August 2026 over 121 minutes, bringing together 39 teams for one of the most competitive events of the season on the Belgian circuit. The race delivered a tight battle at the front, with five teams finishing on the lead lap within 35 seconds of each other.

Ukraine SWS Racing (kart #75) claimed victory with 93 laps completed, crossing the finish line with a gap of 11.104 seconds over Incidentmelder Racing 2 (#82), who also posted 93 laps. Bow Racing (#47) rounded out the podium in third, a further 12.2 seconds back, also on 93 laps. Fourth place went to North South Racing (#61) just 0.014 seconds behind Bow Racing, and fifth to Team Waffel Manneke (#65), separated from the podium by 12.4 seconds — all five teams locked on 93 laps. SG5 Racing 1 (#59) completed the lead-lap group in sixth, 1:10.800 behind the winner. Every team in the top six made exactly 3 pit stops, underlining a clear and uniform strategic framework across the field.

The fastest lap of the race was set by Bow Racing with a 1:11.187, the benchmark for the entire 39-team field.

From a pure pace perspective, Ukraine SWS Racing also led the standings with the best median race pace at 1:11.837 — the only team to combine the top position on the road with the top position on raw pace. Their consistency across four stints was remarkable: a standard deviation of just 0.78 seconds overall, with three of their four stints posting figures below 0.50 s, including an outstanding 0.29 s in stint 3. Incidentmelder Racing 2 backed this up with the second-best median pace at 1:11.977 (σ = 0.76), their final two stints particularly sharp at 1:11.719 and 1:11.965 respectively.

Team Waffel Manneke deserves a special mention: ranked 3rd in pure pace (median 1:12.010) yet finishing 5th, they showed genuine speed — their opening stint at 1:11.630 was one of the fastest of the race — but a slower second and third stint (1:12.864 and 1:13.152) opened a gap that their strong final stint (1:11.747) could not fully bridge. North South Racing (4th in pace, 4th on track) were consistent overall but carried a notably variable first stint (σ = 1.68 s).

Among the notable stories further down the field, JCR-Epyon (#98) was the most striking case: classified 29th with only 53 laps completed, they posted the 8th-best median pace in the entire field — and were the most consistent team overall with a standard deviation of just 0.52 seconds. Their race-ending early retirement masked what the data shows was a genuinely competitive package. On the other end, Peugeot Vanhees Rookie (#45) finished 21st despite ranking only 27th in pure pace, gaining six positions through disciplined execution.

Key takeaways for teams: At Karting Genk's Track PRO over 121 minutes, the winning margin was built on a combination of the best raw pace and the highest consistency across all stints — Ukraine SWS Racing never wavered. The top five teams were separated by just 35 seconds across 93 laps, confirming that any slip in consistency or a poorly-timed pit stop can swing multiple positions. JCR-Epyon's data is a powerful reminder that pure pace means nothing without race completion: protecting the kart over the full distance remains the primary objective.
