Thirty teams lined up on the Piste Alain Prost B (980 m) at Le Mans Karting International on 23 July 2026 for a 55-minute endurance race. When the chequered flag fell, CRT (kart #17) took a commanding victory, finishing a lap ahead of their nearest rivals after 50 laps completed.

CRT dominated from start to finish. Their median race pace of 59.918 s was the fastest of the entire field, and their consistency — an average standard deviation of just 0.53 s across all four stints — made them the most regular team on track as well. With the best pure pace and the best regularity, they left no room for doubt. Runner-up MERGEZ KART (kart #31) crossed the line 12.171 s in arrears after 50 laps, ahead of SKR (kart #26) who completed the podium a further 1.4 s back at 13.589 s off the winner. Notably, SKR held the 2nd-best pure pace (median 1:00.340 s) while MERGEZ KART ranked 3rd in that metric, meaning the podium order reflected both pace and execution.

AGLJ RACING (kart #3) finished 4th with 49 laps and set the fastest lap of the race overall — 59.205 s — but their variable rhythm across stints, including a median of 1:01.275 s in their final stint, ultimately cost them positions against the top three. ADB RACING (kart #29) and LH RACING (kart #2) rounded out the top six, both on 50 laps. LH RACING delivered the most consistent pace of the two (standard deviation 0.60 s) but ranked only 7th in pure pace, finishing 38.623 s behind CRT.

INFINITY RACING GT1 (kart #32) crossed 7th, holding the 6th-best pure pace despite placing 7th — a solid drive that slightly outperformed their final position. TPF RACING (kart #22) and FLASH MCKART 2 (kart #12) followed in 8th and 9th respectively, both on 49 laps. All 30 teams completed their mandatory 3 pit stops.

Among the standout analytical findings: ZHOMMMME (kart #16) finished 16th despite holding only the 25th-best pure pace, suggesting an effective pit-stop strategy allowed them to gain significant ground over faster rivals. In the opposite direction, DIPLADENIA (kart #7) — ranked 9th in pure pace — ended the race 30th and last, finishing 4 laps down, illustrating how raw speed alone cannot compensate for issues accumulated over 55 minutes. KODOKA RACING TEAM 2 (kart #23) showed the most significant pace drop of any analysed team, losing 0.23 s per lap through their second stint before recovering in the third.

Key takeaways for teams: CRT's victory demonstrated that combining the fastest median pace with top-tier consistency is the winning formula at Le Mans Karting International. AGLJ RACING's fastest lap shows raw single-lap speed exists in the field, but irregular stint rhythms can undermine a result. ZHOMMMME's strategic gain highlights that disciplined pit-stop execution on this 980 m circuit can recover as many as 9 positions over 55 minutes.
