HALLOWEEN 2026 · COURSE Race⏱ 2h02

The 121-minute endurance race held on 31 October 2026 at Karting Loisirs Neuilly (Neuilly-sous-Clermont, 717 m circuit) brought together 24 teams for a highly competitive battle across the full leaderboard.

RED KRONOS (kart #64) claimed victory with 139 laps completed, finishing a lap clear of the field in classification terms. Their advantage over second-placed KLN DRIVER FROM HELL (#66, 139 laps) was rendered as a lap margin in the official standings, with KLN DRIVER FROM HELL crossing the line 23.940 seconds behind. SCUDERIA PEPERONI (#67, 139 laps) completed the podium, a further 31.419 s adrift. All three podium finishers made 5 pit stops.

TKF 60 (#62) and 2R TEAM (#57) took 4th and 5th with 138 laps each, separated by 8.460 s, both also on 5 stops. TKF 60 LOISIRS 3 (#55, 138 laps) rounded out the top six. The best lap of the entire race was set by KLN A L'ARRACHE (#43) in 49.056 s.

In terms of pure pace, the analysis confirms that RED KRONOS produced the best median race pace of the field at 49.641 s, perfectly aligning their speed with the top step of the podium. Their two stints were consistent, with an overall standard deviation of just 0.72 s. KLN DRIVER FROM HELL showed the 2nd-best median pace (49.703 s) across six very stable stints, maintaining regularity (0.67 s std dev) throughout the two hours.

KLN A L'ARRACHE (#43) is the standout story of the pace analysis: 3rd best median pace in the field at 49.773 s, yet classified only 8th. Their seven pit stops — two more than most frontrunners — cost them dearly in net track time, despite eight stints that were individually among the most consistent recorded. It is a clear illustration of how stop strategy can override outright speed in endurance racing.

SCUDERIA PEPERONI earned the title of most consistent team, posting the lowest standard deviation of the analysed runners at 0.60 s, a testament to metronomic lap-to-lap regularity across all six stints. They finished 3rd — a result that faithfully reflects their controlled, mistake-free approach.

TL RACING (#69) illustrates the opposite dynamic: classified 9th despite a pace that ranked only 14th, their result was shaped by strategic efficiency rather than outright speed. Their 3rd stint did show a notable slowdown of 0.35 s/lap, the sharpest degradation recorded in the analysed field.

Key takeaways for teams: At Karting Loisirs Neuilly over 121 minutes, pace alone did not determine the outcome — stop frequency had a decisive impact. RED KRONOS combined the best median pace with a five-stop strategy to convert speed into victory. KLN A L'ARRACHE's case shows that two extra stops over the race distance can cost five positions even with genuinely top-three pace. For future editions, teams targeting the podium should prioritise minimising unnecessary stops as much as managing lap time consistency.
