GP pitstop/AK Service · Finale Race⏱ 52 min

The Final of the endurance race at Karting Genk (Track PRO, 1360 m) took place on 19 September 2026, bringing together 51 teams over 52 minutes of racing. The event delivered a dense and competitive classification, with the top 13 teams all completing 41 laps.

KK RACING (kart #60) took the overall victory with 41 laps completed, finishing 13.007 seconds ahead of TGB RACING 2 (kart #57). Third place went to STEIN AKA RUI (kart #78), 32.062 seconds off the winner. TIMO (kart #44) crossed the line just 0.218 seconds behind in fourth, with SIMONNEKE (kart #56) and MD (kart #51) rounding out the top six, both at around 37 seconds from the leader. Every classified team made exactly one pit stop.

The fastest lap of the race was set by STEIN AKA RUI with a time of 1:11.485 — the sharpest single lap of the entire afternoon.

Analysing pure pace, VDEVO (kart #75) posted the best median lap time of the field at 1:11.378 — yet finished only 44th. That gap between raw speed and final position underlines how much pit stop timing and lap consistency shaped the overall result. At the other end of the spectrum, KURWA RACING (kart #88) converted a 34th-place pace ranking into a 23rd-place finish, a clear example of strategy making the difference.

In terms of consistency, TGB RACING 2 stood out as the most regular team of the race, recording the lowest standard deviation across their lap times (σ = 1.13 s). Their two stints — 23 laps then 17 laps — were both stable, and their 2nd-place median pace backed up the result.

KK RACING, the winners, posted the 2nd-best median rhythm (1:12.565) across their two stints, both trending stable. STEIN AKA RUI showed a notable acceleration of 0.23 s/lap during their opening stint before settling into a long, stable second stint of 30 laps — a strong strategic choice. Similarly, TIMO accelerated at 0.15 s/lap in their first stint before stabilising over 30 laps.

L'ESSENTIEL RACING (kart #48) deserves a mention: 6th-best median pace overall (1:13.104), yet classified 9th — one of the few teams whose pace did not fully translate into position. SIMONNEKE, on the other hand, saw their second stint slow by 0.89 s/lap, the steepest degradation among the analysed top teams, which likely contributed to them dropping to 5th despite leading on laps early on.

At the bottom of the field, ARENDELLE RACING (kart #74) recorded the sharpest drop in pace across any single stint in the race — a degradation of 1.27 s/lap in their second relais, finishing 47th.

Key takeaways for teams: At Karting Genk on 19 September 2026, raw speed alone was not enough. The winning combination of a second-best median pace, double stable stints and a single well-timed pit stop allowed KK RACING to convert pace into victory. Teams with pace but high degradation (SIMONNEKE, ARENDELLE RACING) or strategic miscalculations (VDEVO) were unable to match their pure potential with their finishing position. Consistency over 52 minutes, more than peak lap times, proved decisive on the Track PRO.
