Summer Race #7 · Finale Race⏱ 1h02

The Final of the endurance race at Le Mans Karting International – Piste Alain Prost B (980 m) took place on 27 August 2026, bringing together 30 teams for a 61-minute battle on one of the most iconic kart circuits in France. The event delivered a tightly contested finish at the front, with the top seven teams all completing 54 laps.

DR HOUSE IMMO-ANTHONY SAUSSEREAU (kart #32) claimed victory with 54 laps completed, crossing the line ahead of KART'ELJO (#24) by 33.420 seconds. DTR-2 (#12) rounded out the podium, a further 3.651 seconds back at 37.071 seconds from the winner. FF SPORT TEAM (#3) and LES AUDONIENS (#27) completed the top five, separated by just 0.439 seconds at the flag. LES CHOUFFES FRAMBOISES (#5) and BIPBIP (#15) followed in 6th and 7th, all four teams within one second of each other — a remarkable pack finish after an hour of racing.

The fastest lap of the race was set by KART'ELJO with a time of 1:00.101, underlining their pure speed throughout the event.

Race analysis – rhythm, consistency and strategy

The pace data reveals a more nuanced picture beneath the final standings. KART'ELJO posted the best pure median pace of the field at 1:01.377 per lap — the fastest of any analysed team — yet crossed the line in 2nd place. Their consistency rating (standard deviation: 1.41 s) was slightly more variable than the winner's, which may have played a role in the final gap.

DR HOUSE IMMO-ANTHONY SAUSSEREAU, victorious on the road, ranked 3rd in pure pace with a median of 1:01.528 but delivered a remarkably stable and consistent performance (σ = 0.8 s) across their stint, allowing them to manage the race to the flag without faltering.

J&J RACING (#19) stands out as a particularly eye-catching case: ranked 2nd in pure pace with a median of 1:01.514, they finished only 10th — 7.700 seconds behind MLRT in 8th. Their raw speed was clearly not converted into positions on the road.

Similarly, RAPIDEMENT LENT (#26) — whose team name proved ironically misleading — posted the 5th best pure pace in the analysed field yet finished 18th, highlighting a significant gap between their outright speed and their final result.

On the strategy side, SERCOUT (#28) achieved the most notable strategic performance: finishing 16th despite holding only the 24th best pure pace among analysed teams, gaining ground relative to their raw speed.

In terms of consistency, LES AUDONIENS (#27) were the most regular team of the race (σ = 0.67 s), and they converted that regularity into a solid 5th place finish — a fine reward for disciplined, error-free driving.

Key takeaways for teams: raw lap time alone does not decide endurance results at Le Mans Karting International. DR HOUSE IMMO-ANTHONY SAUSSEREAU's victory was built on a combination of good pace (3rd best median) and exemplary consistency. J&J RACING and RAPIDEMENT LENT demonstrated that top-tier speed without a clean overall execution leads to significant position losses. For future editions, teams should target a balance between pure pace and lap-time stability across the full 61-minute distance.
