100 MILES #12 · Finale Race⏱ 2h02

The Finale endurance race at Karting Genk (Track PRO, 1360 m) took place on 10 September 2026, with 31 teams on the starting grid for 121 minutes of racing. It was a tight, high-quality contest decided by very fine margins at the front.

BK KARTTEAM (kart #57) took the victory, completing 93 laps and edging out OKT-RACING 1 by just 3.270 seconds at the flag. OKT-RACING 2 crossed the line third, a further 16.566 seconds adrift, with VRG RACING TEAM and UKRAINE SWS RACING completing the top five, all on 93 laps. Six teams finished on 93 laps in total, underlining how closely matched the leading group was throughout the race.

The analysis confirms that BK KARTTEAM also held the best pure pace of the field, posting a median race rhythm of 1:11.777 — the fastest among all analysed teams. Their consistency was equally impressive, with an overall standard deviation of just 0.93 s. Their four stints were all stable, including a particularly metronomic second stint (0.37 s standard deviation over 31 laps). OKT-RACING 1 matched that structure almost perfectly, finishing second in both the race and the pure pace rankings (median 1:11.820, regularity 0.84 s), making for a genuine wheel-to-wheel battle decided by strategy and pit stop execution.

VRG RACING TEAM produced the most consistent race overall among the top four, with a standard deviation of only 0.79 s and the 3rd-best pure rhythm (1:11.875). Despite that solidity, they were unable to convert it into a higher finishing position than 4th.

One of the most notable strategic stories came from KM 3 (kart #66), who ranked 4th in pure rhythm yet crossed the line in 19th place — a significant gap between pace and result that highlights the cost of time lost outside the timed laps. Conversely, UKRAINE SWS RACING finished 5th despite only ranking 8th in pure rhythm (1:12.284), demonstrating an effective approach to managing their three pit stops and overall race time.

KM1 (kart #62) set the fastest lap of the race, a 1:11.229, achieved during their third stint — yet they finished 7th. Their 6th-best pure rhythm (1:12.124) shows pace was there, but overall consistency left room for improvement. At the other end of the spectrum, VERCON RACING was the most consistent team in the entire field, posting a remarkable standard deviation of just 0.38 s, a testament to exceptional regularity from their drivers.

F. HERMANN RACING is worth noting: their first stint showed a strong acceleration trend of 0.56 s/lap over just 8 laps before settling into a solid final three stints, finishing 11th. OKT-RACING 2 showed a similar early settling phase, gaining 0.20 s/lap in their opening stint before finding a stable, competitive rhythm for the remainder of the race to secure 3rd.

At the back of the field, APEX PREDATORS and SKID MARKS each made 5 pit stops, two more than all other finishers, which contributed to their positions of 30th and 31st respectively.

Key takeaways for teams: At Karting Genk on 10 September 2026, the victory was built on combining the best raw pace with exemplary regularity — BK KARTTEAM achieved both. Strategic management of pit stop timing proved decisive in separating teams of similar raw speed, as illustrated by UKRAINE SWS RACING's overperformance and KM 3's underperformance relative to their pure rhythm. Minimising lap time variance across long stints was equally critical on this 1360 m circuit over 121 minutes.
