On August 13, 2026, the Le Mans Karting International – Alain Prost circuit (Piste Alain Prost B, 980 m) hosted a 61-minute endurance race bringing together 27 teams. The contest was decided on pure pace and consistency, with no pit stops recorded across the entire field.

SKR 2 (kart #17) took a commanding victory, completing 55 laps and finishing a full lap clear of 2nd place. The team dominated every performance metric: best overall pace with a median lap time of 59.905 s (1st), best consistency in the field with a standard deviation of just 0.56 s, and the fastest lap of the race at 59.335 s. Their single stint of 54 timed laps was entirely stable, and their dominance left no room for doubt.

WJRT (kart #25) crossed the line in 2nd place, 17.886 s behind SKR 2, with 54 laps completed. Their median pace of 1:00.389 placed them 2nd in pure rhythm, though a standard deviation of 1.03 s reflected slightly less consistency than the race winner. Their best lap of 57.650 s was the quickest individual lap recorded by any team in the analysis, underscoring their raw speed potential.

LES BEEGEES (kart #6) secured 3rd overall with 55 laps and a gap of 21.321 s to the leader. Their median pace of 1:00.413 placed them 3rd in pure rhythm, and their regularity (0.76 s standard deviation) was one of the strongest in the field — a well-controlled race from start to finish.

CROIX LUCAS RACING TEAM (kart #2) finished 4th, 26.799 s off the lead, with a median pace of 1:00.616 and a standard deviation of 1.14 s — their 4th-place finish perfectly matching their 4th-best pace in the field. FATHER & FASTER (kart #3) and RAZMO & RAPIDO (kart #7) completed the top six, both on 54 laps, separated by just 0.199 s on the road.

Two performances deserve a closer look further down the order. TECHNIPROFILS RACING (kart #10) finished only 20th but posted the 15th-best median pace — a five-position gap suggesting race incidents or traffic cost them dearly despite competitive lap times. Conversely, TEAM RUSTEEZE (kart #8) finished 19th while ranking only 24th in pure rhythm, meaning they extracted more from their race situation than their raw pace would suggest.

At the back of the field, AHMED RABEL (kart #11) was classified 27th with no laps recorded and no lap time, indicating they did not take the start or retired immediately.

Key takeaways for teams: This race confirmed that on the Alain Prost B track, consistency pays as much as outright pace. SKR 2's 0.56 s standard deviation — the best in the field — combined with the best median rhythm made them virtually unbeatable. Teams in the mid-field such as TECHNIPROFILS RACING should review how race management cost them positions despite solid lap times, while TEAM RUSTEEZE's ability to punch above their rhythm ranking is a positive lesson in endurance race craft.
