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 over 61 minutes, with 30 teams on the grid. The event delivered a closely fought battle at the front, with the top seven finishers all completing the same 54 laps.

DR HOUSE IMMO-ANTHONY SAUSSEREAU (kart #32) took the victory, crossing the line one full lap clear of the field on countback — their 54th lap decided the win. Behind them, KART'ELJO (#24) secured second place 33.420 seconds adrift, while DTR-2 (#12) rounded out the podium at 37.071 seconds. FF SPORT TEAM (#3) finished fourth (48.202 s), with LES AUDONIENS (#27) and LES CHOUFFES FRAMBOISES (#5) completing the top six in very close order, separated by just 2.4 seconds. BIPBIP (#15) finished seventh, also on 54 laps.

The fastest lap of the race was set by KART'ELJO with a time of 1:00.101, the sharpest single lap of the entire 61-minute contest.

Pure pace vs. final position — a revealing picture. The race analysis highlights some significant gaps between on-track speed and finishing position. KART'ELJO posted the best median pace of any team (1:01.377), yet crossed the line second — a strong all-round performance nonetheless. J&J RACING (#19) was even more striking: 2nd best median pace (1:01.514) and best lap of 1:00.112, yet they finished only 10th. Conversely, DR HOUSE IMMO-ANTHONY SAUSSEREAU won with the 3rd best median pace (1:01.528), demonstrating that overall race management was decisive.

The most eye-catching gap belongs to RAPIDEMENT LENT (#26), who ranked 5th by pure pace (median 1:01.936 extrapolated from their position in the pace table) yet finished 18th — a result that underlines how much more than raw speed determines the final standings in endurance karting. In contrast, SERCOUT (#28) finished 16th despite ranking only 24th by pure pace, a solid example of effective race management outweighing outright speed.

In terms of consistency, LES AUDONIENS were the most regular team of the race, posting the lowest standard deviation in lap times (0.67 s) across their stint — a remarkably controlled performance that helped them secure 5th place. DR HOUSE IMMO-ANTHONY SAUSSEREAU also impressed with a standard deviation of just 0.8 s over 50 timed laps, all recorded as a stable relais. FF SPORT TEAM showed the widest variation of the analysed frontrunners (1.55 s), yet still managed 4th overall.

At the back of the field, DREAM TEAM SPEED (#13) finished 30th on 45 laps, nine laps down on the leaders.

Key takeaways for teams: This Final at Le Mans Karting International on 27 August 2026 confirmed that consistent lap times and race management are at least as important as raw speed. The winner did not have the fastest median pace, yet their regularity (σ = 0.8 s) and overall execution earned the victory. Teams with strong pure pace — notably J&J RACING and RAPIDEMENT LENT — left positions on the table, a reminder that converting speed into laps and positions requires flawless execution across the full 61 minutes on the 980 m Alain Prost B circuit.
