2H ENDURANCE · Finale Race⏱ 2h03

The endurance Final at Lignano Circuit FPV in Precenicco brought together 18 teams on the 950-metre short layout for a 122-lap, 2-hour race held on 29 July 2026. The fight at the front proved intense, with the top four finishers all completing the full distance and separated by just over 16 seconds at the flag.

GATEDEV LUBING RACING (kart #14) took the overall victory, crossing the line one lap clear of the chasing pack in terms of timing — the win was confirmed on the final lap with a 9.190-second margin over second-placed R.A.V. RACING TEAM (kart #1). OFFICE SOLUTION (kart #12) completed the podium at 13.738 seconds, while DANGER ZONE (kart #17) finished fourth just 2.7 seconds further back. All four teams completed 122 laps and made 7 pit stops apiece. GATEDEV LUBING RACING also set the fastest lap of the race: 51.801 s.

Looking beyond the result, the pace analysis reveals a more nuanced picture. OFFICE SOLUTION recorded the best pure median lap time across the race at 52.313 s — 66 thousandths quicker than race winner GATEDEV LUBING RACING's 52.379 s median. Despite holding the pace advantage, OFFICE SOLUTION ultimately finished third, 4.5 seconds behind the leader. GATEDEV LUBING RACING's eight stints were characterised by a largely stable rhythm, with only stints 4 and 6 showing a slight drop of around 0.17 s/lap towards their ends, a well-managed degradation over such a long race.

R.A.V. RACING TEAM showed the best overall consistency among the leading teams with a standard deviation of 0.60 s across the race, and their fourth stint — 21 laps at a median of 52.060 s — was one of the strongest individual stints of the entire contest. DANGER ZONE was the most consistent team across the field, with the lowest standard deviation of any finisher at 0.53 s, and their eight stints were all classified as stable — a remarkable display of pace management over 122 laps.

The strategy highlight of the race came from PURA TEAM (5th, 120 laps), who finished three positions higher than their pure pace ranking of 8th, demonstrating that smart pit stop execution and stint management can more than compensate for a modest raw lap time. In sharp contrast, SABETTA SOLO finished last in 18th place despite posting the 2nd best pure pace in the entire field — a gap of 9 laps to the leader (113 laps completed) ultimately determined their classification, regardless of raw speed.

Further down the order, TMMP RACING (16th) recorded the most severe pace deterioration seen in the race, with their 6th stint degrading at a rate of 1.24 s/lap — a significant drop that contributed to them finishing 7 laps off the lead. The top 6 classified teams all completed 120 laps or more, confirming that on the Lignano Circuit short layout, managing pace consistency across every stint is as decisive as outright speed.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, race pace management wins races — OFFICE SOLUTION's superior median pace was not enough to overhaul a winner who kept degradation under control. DANGER ZONE's class-leading consistency (σ = 0.53 s) is the benchmark for regularity on this circuit. Teams should also note the PURA TEAM strategy effect: over 122 laps, optimal pit timing can recover up to three positions versus raw pace ranking. Finally, raw speed alone, without reliable lap count, is worthless — as illustrated by SABETTA SOLO's last-place finish despite a top-2 median pace.
