100 MILES BRONS - FIX KARTS · Finale Race⏱ 2h05

The Finale endurance race at Karting Genk brought together 32 teams on the Track PRO (1,360 m) for 125 minutes of racing on 21 September 2026. It was a demanding test of pace, consistency and race management on one of Belgium's most prestigious karting venues.

KART POOLING (kart #46) took the overall victory, completing 92 laps and finishing ahead of TAYLOR DRIFT (#51) by 9.441 seconds. LOW MU RACING (#67) rounded out the podium, also on 92 laps, 25.392 seconds off the lead. MCCHASSIS (#53) claimed fourth, one minute and 1.3 seconds adrift despite matching the 92-lap tally of the top three. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by KART POOLING with a 1:10.975.

From a pure-pace perspective, TAYLOR DRIFT carried the best median race rhythm of the field at 1:12.793 — the finest race pace of any team — yet their overall consistency across the four stints (σ = 1.33 s) could not fully convert that speed advantage into victory. KART POOLING's median rhythm ranked only third-best (1:13.087, σ = 1.45 s), but their fourth and final stint proved decisive: with a median of 1:11.585 over 29 laps, they turned the race in their favour. LOW MU RACING showed the second-best race pace (1:13.072, σ = 1.23 s) and the best overall consistency among the podium finishers.

The most consistent team across the entire 125 minutes was M-A-ST-ERS (#57), with an exceptionally low standard deviation of 0.95 seconds — the tightest lap-time spread in the field. They finished fifth, one lap down, with all four stints showing a stable tendency and a race-long median of 1:13.883.

All 32 teams made 3 pit stops, with the single exception of ELECTRIFIED PETROLHEADS (#69), who made 4 passages and finished 24th. Among the notable strategic observations, GAZOO RACERS (#54) — who finished 30th — held the 15th-best pure race pace, a significant gap between their potential and their final classification. Conversely, TORQUE TITANS (#65, 23rd) outperformed their raw pace ranking of 29th, reflecting a positive net effect from their race management.

At the back of the top 15, FASTER THAN YOU (#63) and BRITNEY STEERS (#50) were separated by just 0.374 seconds for positions 7 and 8, both also on 91 laps, with identical median rhythms of 1:14.046 but notably different consistency profiles (σ = 1.75 vs 1.21). THE FIRST OF THE LAST (#72) recorded the sharpest pace degradation of the race, losing 0.22 seconds per lap through their second stint.

Key takeaways for teams: On the Track PRO at Karting Genk, having the fastest raw pace is not sufficient — TAYLOR DRIFT's best-in-field rhythm yielded only second place. KART POOLING's ability to save their sharpest pace for the final 29-lap stint proved to be the race-winning factor. Consistency, as demonstrated by M-A-ST-ERS, allows a team to preserve tyres and position across long stints. Teams like GAZOO RACERS show that pure lap-time potential left unmanaged strategically can result in a far lower final classification than raw speed would suggest.
