The Finale endurance race at Kartland (Piste P2, 810 m), held in Moissy-Cramayel on 7 November 2026, brought together 41 teams for a high-intensity sprint on the 810-metre layout. At the front, the battle was settled by tiny margins over 85 laps, while the full field stretched across 20 laps from first to last.

ON ROULE POUR LUI (kart #2) took the win with 85 laps completed, edging ET KART ET VOUS (#41) by 26.023 seconds and JOWK (#10) by 26.989 seconds — the top three finishing on the same lap total. D7 RACING (4th, +37.089 s) and DENZA (5th, +46.766 s) completed a tightly packed leading quintet, all on 85 laps. Each of the top five recorded seven pit stops.

The standout statistical figure of the race belongs to LE VENT L'EMPORTERA (#6), author of the fastest lap of the entire race: 1:13.851 — a time well clear of the field's regular pace. The team finished 6th overall, also on 85 laps.

Analysis of pure race pace tells a different story from the final standings. JOWK posted the best median lap time in the field at 1:37.473 and was also the most consistent team (standard deviation: 1.03 s), yet crossed the line 3rd. Their five stints were remarkably homogeneous, with every relay settled around the 1:37.4–1:37.6 bracket. The gap to victory was not a pace question.

ON ROULE POUR LUI, winners on the road, ranked only 3rd in pure pace (median 1:37.805, σ 1.38 s) and carried their seventh and final stint — the most irregular of their race (σ 1.90 s, median 1:39.811) — to the flag. Their best single stint came in relay 6: 14 laps at a 1:37.055 median, the sharpest in their campaign. ET KART ET VOUS (2nd) ranked 5th in pure pace (median 1:38.104) but their final stint showed a drift of +0.38 s/lap, though it did not cost them second place. D7 RACING (4th) suffered a notable slip in relay 4 (+0.76 s/lap, σ 3.58 s), before recovering in subsequent stints.

Among the notable pace anomalies, ISTRA 5 ranked 2nd in pure pace across the field yet finished 35th — highlighting how race management and pit-stop execution can override raw speed. At the other end of the spectrum, GUIGUISTAPPEN (17th overall) outperformed their pure pace rank of 28th through strategic management. The sharpest in-race degradation observed in the data belonged to TOTAL ENERGIES, whose second stint showed a drift of 1.62 s/lap.

Key takeaways for teams: at Kartland Moissy-Cramayel, raw pace alone does not determine the result. JOWK demonstrated that the best median time and highest consistency (σ 1.03 s) are not sufficient without converting them into track position. ON ROULE POUR LUI won with the 3rd-fastest pure pace but managed seven pit stops cleanly. Teams should also note that large intra-stint irregularities (D7 RACING relay 4: σ 3.58 s) can be costly, and that degradation control over long stints is as decisive as peak lap time.
