100 MILES #12 · Finale Race⏱ 2h02

The Finale endurance race at Karting Genk (Track PRO, 1360 m) took place on 10 September 2026, bringing together 31 teams for 121 minutes of racing on one of Belgium's most prestigious karting venues. The event delivered a closely contested battle at the front, with the top eight finishers all completing 93 laps.

BK KARTTEAM (kart 57) took the victory with 93 laps completed, crossing the line ahead of OKT-RACING 1 (kart 71) by just 3.270 seconds. The podium was completed by OKT-RACING 2 (kart 63), a further 16.6 seconds back. VRG RACING TEAM (4th) and UKRAINE SWS RACING (5th) rounded out the top five, both also on 93 laps. All 31 teams recorded 3 pit stops, except for APEX PREDATORS (P30) and SKID MARKS (P31), who each made 5 passages through the pits.

The fastest lap of the race was set by KM1 (kart 62) with a time of 1:11.229, though that team ultimately finished 7th. The top seven teams all posted best laps inside 1:11.5, underlining the exceptional level of performance at the front of the field.

From a pure pace perspective, BK KARTTEAM held the best median race rhythm at 1:11.777, and their four stints were all marked as stable, with particularly impressive consistency in stints 2, 3, and 4 (standard deviations as low as 0.31 s). OKT-RACING 1 matched this profile closely with a median of 1:11.820 and the tightest overall standard deviation in the top two (0.84 s), making them the 2nd-best pace team on the day.

VRG RACING TEAM (P4) recorded the 3rd-best pure rhythm (1:11.875) and the best overall consistency in the top five (σ = 0.79 s), completing only three stints — the fewest of any top finisher. Despite holding the 4th-best pure pace, KM 3 (kart 66, P19) finished well outside the points, a stark illustration of how execution and strategy can offset raw speed.

One of the notable strategic stories was UKRAINE SWS RACING (P5), who ranked only 8th in pure rhythm (median 1:12.284) yet finished 5th — four positions better than their pace alone would suggest. Conversely, KM1 (P7) posted the outright fastest lap of the race but ranked 6th in median pace, showing that peak speed and sustained rhythm are two distinct performance dimensions.

The most consistent team overall was VERCON RACING (P17, σ = 0.38 s), a remarkable figure for an endurance race of this length. Among the analysed teams, RCN UNO (P8) also stood out for its regularity (σ = 0.61 s), producing three rock-solid stints.

Key takeaways for competing teams: At Karting Genk's Track PRO, the gap between pure pace and final classification can span as many as 15 positions, as shown by KM 3. Consistency over long stints (low standard deviation) and efficient pit stop management proved decisive. BK KARTTEAM's combination of the best median rhythm and four stable stints left no room for rivals to capitalise, making them deserving winners of this 121-minute final.
