On 30 July 2026, the Le Mans Karting International – Alain Prost circuit (Piste Alain Prost B, 980 m) hosted a 61-minute endurance race with 30 starters. The event delivered a closely fought battle at the front, with the top five classified on the lead lap.

BBS SPORT (kart #32) took a dominant victory, completing 55 laps and finishing a clear lap ahead of the field on countback. They led every performance metric: best race rhythm with a median lap time of 1:00.087, and the fastest lap of the entire race — 59.195 s — also to their name. With a consistency figure of just 0.51 s standard deviation, their single stint of 55 laps was a model of controlled, high-pace driving.

SIMU (kart #4) finished second, also on 55 laps, 17.038 s adrift. Their median pace of 1:00.300 confirmed the 2nd-best pure rhythm in the field, though a consistency figure of 0.99 s — nearly double that of the winner — highlights some lap-time variation across their stint. RKE (kart #19) completed the podium, likewise on 55 laps at 34.961 s from the lead, with a median of 1:00.451 and a consistency of 0.97 s.

ADB RACING (kart #15) finished fourth with 54 laps, separated from RKE by just 0.329 s on adjusted gap — a tight battle for the final top-four positions. Their 4th-best pure rhythm (median 1:00.453) matched RKE almost identically, but one fewer lap ultimately cost them a podium position. BENJAMIN PREJENT (kart #11) rounded out the top five on 55 laps, 35.815 s behind the winner, showing the second-best consistency in the top six at 0.73 s.

LH RACING (kart #30) took sixth on 55 laps with a notable best lap of 59.349 s — second fastest overall — yet a median pace of 1:00.784 and the weakest consistency in the top six (1.22 s) explain the gap to the leaders. Further back, RUSTEZE (kart #20) stands out as the race's best underperformer relative to pace: 7th-best median rhythm (1:00.895) but only 9th in the final standings, pointing to less optimal lap-time management over the distance.

Among the notable contrasts in the field, TEK72_2 (kart #16) was the most consistent kart on track with a remarkable 0.50 s standard deviation across 53 measured laps — the best regularity figure of the entire race — yet finished 7th. At the other end of the spectrum, LES TOURISTES (kart #29) showed the 17th-best pure rhythm but were classified 29th, illustrating how raw pace alone cannot compensate for overall race management across 61 minutes. ASCENITY 2 (kart #1) provided the most positive stratégic result, finishing 21st despite only the 26th-best pace rating.

Key takeaways for teams: In this race, no pit stops were recorded across all 30 starters, making pure rhythm and consistency the sole differentiators. BBS SPORT's combination of the best median pace and the strongest regularity (0.51 s) proved unbeatable. Teams with strong single-lap speed but higher variance — such as LH RACING — lost significant ground over 55 laps. The gap between pure pace ranking and final position for teams like RUSTEZE and LES TOURISTES underlines that sustained consistency, rather than peak lap time alone, defines endurance results on the Alain Prost B circuit.
