The Endurance Final at Karting Nevers Magny-Cours took place on 28 August 2026 on the 1,110-metre Magny-Cours karting circuit. Twenty-six teams lined up for a 61-minute race that delivered a tightly fought battle at the front of the field.

SC Endurance (kart #32) claimed victory, completing 45 laps and finishing a lap clear of the chasing pack. Behind them, Track Limits Sport (#33) and Les Rookies (#36) rounded out the podium, both also on 45 laps, separated by just 14.536 seconds at the flag. ADFF (#31) and Les Pièces Rapportées (#18) completed the top six, likewise on 45 laps, classified by the smallest of margins — 1.294 seconds covered 5th and 6th. All top-six finishers made three pit stops.

The fastest lap of the race was set by Les Rookies with a time of 1:10.048. SC Endurance posted a best lap of 1:10.071, and Track Limits Sport 1:10.391, underlining how close the pace was among the lead trio.

In terms of pure pace, the analysis tells a nuanced story. Les Rookies held the best median race pace (1:10.478), ahead of Track Limits Sport (1:10.822) and SC Endurance (1:11.006). Yet it was SC Endurance who converted that into a race win, relying on stronger consistency in their opening stint — a 11-lap first relay virtually on a knife-edge (standard deviation 0.2 s), maintaining a median of 1:10.317 with a best lap of 1:10.071. Their overall consistency (σ = 2.44 s) was among the tightest of the classified runners.

Track Limits Sport ranked 2nd in pure pace and delivered a first stint of 13 laps at 1:10.534 median — disciplined and controlled (σ = 0.78 s). Les Rookies set the fastest lap of the race in their opening relay of 15 laps, but suffered the sharpest degradation of any analysed team in their second stint, losing 2.04 s per lap across just 5 tours.

Les Pièces Rapportées (#18) stand out as a strategic case: ranked 4th in pure median pace (1:11.043) yet crossing the line 6th, their long opening stint of 19 laps showed exceptional regularity (σ = 0.25 s) — but the gap conceded during pit stop sequences ultimately cost them positions. ADFF (#31) produced the opposite pattern: 9th in pace yet finishing 5th, thanks to a 19-lap first relay that maximised track time. Further down the order, Flash Mac Chtis (#37) ranked only 15th in pure pace but finished 7th, demonstrating how strategic timing of stops can more than compensate for pace deficit over 61 minutes.

At the other end of the field, Carogar (#25, 26th) posted the lowest consistency variance (σ = 1.21 s) of all teams — a notable feat of regularity in a difficult race context. Tchous Tchous (#24, 17th) ranked 11th in pure pace, a sign that raw speed alone is not sufficient without the right stop strategy.

Key takeaways for teams: Consistency across a long opening stint proved decisive at Magny-Cours. SC Endurance's near-flawless first relay built a foundation that no rival could overcome despite pace disadvantage. Les Rookies' blistering outright speed was undermined by a steep degradation curve in their second stint — managing tyre and kart performance deep into each relay remains the central challenge on this 1,110-metre circuit. The gap between 2nd and 6th place (under 60 seconds) confirms that pit stop execution and stint length management can swing multiple positions at this level.
