Coupe Interentreprise · Course Race⏱ 2h10

Nineteen teams lined up on the Karting Payerne Indoor (900 m) circuit on 14 September 2026 for a 130-minute endurance race. At the end of a demanding contest, GARAGE CHUARD (kart #9) took the win with 133 laps completed, crossing the line a lap ahead of their nearest rivals.

LEMO 1 (kart #21) secured second place, also on 133 laps but 18.535 seconds behind at the flag. LIEBHERR 1 (kart #4) completed the podium with 132 laps, just 21.136 seconds adrift. ZEKNOVA TYRES (kart #25) and GARAGE TALIN (kart #7) rounded out the top five in fourth and fifth respectively, the latter also finishing on 133 laps but 53.652 seconds down on the winner.

The fastest lap of the race was set by ZEKNOVA TYRES in a remarkable 52.110 seconds, the sharpest single lap recorded across the entire field throughout the 130 minutes.

Pace analysis – who really had the speed? GARAGE CHUARD not only won on the road but also led the field in pure pace, recording the best median lap time of 53.605 s across their stint. Their consistency was solid too, with a standard deviation of 1.27 s. Second in pure pace was ZEKNOVA TYRES (median 53.653 s, σ 1.39 s), confirming their raw speed despite finishing fourth overall. LEMO 1 ranked third in pace (53.789 s, σ 0.96 s), their excellent regularity helping them hold second place to the finish.

The standout regularity award goes to GARAGE TALIN (kart #7), who produced the most consistent race in the field with a standard deviation of just 0.70 s — the lowest of all analysed teams — and a median of 54.135 s. That discipline translated into a fifth-place finish despite ranking only seventh in pure pace. Similarly, PMI 1 (kart #12) showed excellent regularity (σ 0.77 s) to claim sixth overall.

Two teams stood out for contrasting reasons. DTC (kart #16) converted a raw pace ranking of 11th (median 54.590 s) into an 8th-place finish, outperforming their speed profile through consistent lapping (σ 1.06 s). In the opposite direction, BKW BUILDING SOLUTIONS (kart #3) held the 5th-fastest median pace in the field (54.078 s) yet finished only 12th — a gap between pace and result that makes them one of the most intriguing stories of the day.

Further down the order, PHIDA GROUP (kart #13) finished 7th with a best lap of 52.711 s, while DISERENS SA (kart #1) and GARAGE ST-LÉGIER (kart #27) completed the top ten on 131 laps each. The final positions saw ETA SION, SCOTT SPORT and OXYCOLOR 2 finish 17th, 18th and 19th respectively, separated by tour gaps.

Key takeaways for teams: On the Karting Payerne Indoor circuit, pure pace alone does not guarantee results over 130 minutes. GARAGE CHUARD demonstrated that combining the best median rhythm with solid consistency is the winning formula. GARAGE TALIN and PMI 1 showed that exceptional regularity can compensate for a pace deficit. Conversely, BKW BUILDING SOLUTIONS' experience highlights that raw speed must be translated into clean, uninterrupted lapping to materialise into a strong final classification.
