The endurance final at Kartland in Moissy-Cramayel (track P2, 810 m) on August 1, 2026 delivered 161 minutes of close racing across 23 teams. At the end of a demanding race decided by only a handful of seconds at the front, On Roule Pour Lui (kart #29) took the victory with 86 laps completed, crossing the line ahead of Je Freyne Pas (#38) by 7.531 seconds and Scuderia GMO5 (#46) by 17.207 seconds. The fastest lap of the race was set by On Roule Pour Lui in 1:35.339 — a benchmark no other team could match.

The leading trio of On Roule Pour Lui, Je Freyne Pas, and Scuderia GMO5 all completed the same 86 laps with 7 pit stops each, making every strategic call count. Avec Mon Papy (#26) took 4th, also on 86 laps but 53.417 seconds adrift, while NRGF (#7) and J'Freyne Partout (#3) rounded out 5th and 6th — separated by less than 2.5 seconds after nearly three hours of racing.

The analysis reveals some telling contrasts between classified position and underlying pace. Je Freyne Pas posted the best pure race pace of all teams, with a median lap time of 1:37.422 (ranked 1st in pace), yet finished 2nd — illustrating how fine the margins were at the top. Their two measured stints were strikingly consistent: 0.69–0.70 s standard deviation, among the tightest in the field.

Scuderia GMO5 earns recognition as the most consistent team overall, with a race-wide standard deviation of just 0.77 s. Across eight stints, their median lap time drifted only gently — from 1:36.523 in the opening stint to 1:38.112 in the seventh — a natural and well-managed degradation of roughly 0.2 s per stint on average.

NRGF showed strong pace (4th best median at 1:37.779) but the most pronounced degradation event of the race: in their 5th stint (9 laps), they lost 0.36 s per lap, with a regularité spike to 3.83 s — the highest in the analysed field. Their recovery in the final two stints brought them back to median times around 1:37.268–1:37.953, confirming strong underlying speed but variable management across the race.

Le Vent L'Emportera (#37) illustrates the strategy trap: their opening 25-lap stint produced a median of 1:36.574 — one of the quickest of the race — but a slower second stint at 1:39.816 cost them dearly, leaving them 8th and one lap down despite 7th-best pure pace. MLK Snoozie (#32), on the contrary, managed to finish 10th despite only 15th-best pace (1:40.009 median), gaining five positions through pit-stop management across 8 stints.

Key takeaways for teams: At Kartland P2, consistency over 161 minutes proves more decisive than outright speed. The gap between 1st and 3rd was just 17 seconds after 86 laps — a margin built lap by lap. Managing degradation in the middle stints and limiting pit-stop time loss are the two levers that most clearly separated the leading finishers from those further down the order.
