30 + 1h30 - 24-10-2026 · Finale Race⏱ 1h35

The 94-minute endurance final at Kartland in Moissy-Cramayel (circuit P2, 810 m) took place on 24 October 2026, bringing together 24 teams for a race that tested both raw pace and strategic composure over the course of the afternoon.

FULL RICARD RACING (kart #24) claimed victory with 35 laps completed, a full lap ahead of TEAM PINTO (kart #11, 34 laps) and WALTER TEAM RACING (kart #30, 34 laps), the latter finishing 14.785 seconds behind TEAM PINTO. The top three each made 5 pit stops. Fourth place went to DELTA RACING (kart #21, 34 laps, +1:29.439), while APLOMB RACING TEAM 2 (kart #42, 34 laps, +1:38.117) rounded out the top five with only 4 pit stops. FULL RICARD RACING also set the fastest lap of the race with a 2:18.563.

The analysis reveals a compelling gap between on-track pace and final standings. TEAM PINTO posted the best pure pace of the field, with a median lap time of 2:25.022 (1st in pure rhythm), yet crossed the line in 2nd place. Their opening stint was remarkably stable (standard deviation of just 0.41 s), and their third stint — the longest, at 7 laps — delivered consistent sub-2:21 laps, slowing only 0.68 s/lap toward the end. This is a team that had the speed to win but could not convert it entirely into positions.

APLOMB RACING TEAM (kart #4, 8th overall) stands out as one of the hidden performances of the race: their 2nd-best pure rhythm on the field (median 2:27.548) was far ahead of their 8th-place finish. Their second stint showed significant slowing (+0.93 s/lap), which ultimately cost them track position, but their third stint recovered to near-stability (σ = 0.77 s).

FULL RICARD RACING, the race winner, ranked only 3rd in pure pace (median 2:28.819) — their victory was built on strategic efficiency across 5 stops. Their third stint was their fastest, with a median of 2:19.875 and their best lap of 2:18.563, though pace slowed by 0.66 s/lap by its end. Their 5 pit stops, well distributed, allowed them to manage tyre life and stay in contention throughout.

DELTA RACING (4th) deserves mention as the most consistent team in terms of lap-time regularity (σ = 4.31 s, lowest in the analysed field), yet ranked only 10th in pure pace. Their strategy of 5 pit stops and steady management of a 2:35 median allowed them to outperform faster but less disciplined competitors — a textbook example of strategy over outright speed.

At the other end of the spectrum, BEE DRIVER (kart #14) completed only 12 laps and classified 24th, finishing 23 laps down on the winner, with just 2 pit stops recorded. LES FRUSTRES (kart #22, 23rd) also had a difficult afternoon with 18 laps covered.

Key takeaways for teams: Pure pace alone does not win endurance races at Kartland — TEAM PINTO's example illustrates this perfectly. The winner, FULL RICARD RACING, combined competitive rhythm (3rd best) with strategic pit stop management over 5 stops. Regularity pays dividends: DELTA RACING finished 4th despite ranking 10th in pace, thanks to the lowest lap-time variation on the field. Teams looking to progress should monitor stint degradation closely — losses of 0.5 to 1.9 s/lap by the end of a stint, as seen across several top-ten finishers, are where races are ultimately decided.
