2H ENDURANCE · Finale Race⏱ 2h02

The Final of the endurance race at Lignano Circuit FPV in Precenicco took place on 29 July 2026 over 122 minutes on the 950-metre short layout, with 18 teams on the grid. It was a tightly contested affair at the front, settled by just a handful of seconds after two hours of racing.

GATEDEV LUBING RACING (kart #14) claimed victory by completing 122 laps, crossing the line 9.190 seconds ahead of R.A.V. RACING TEAM (#1), who also finished on 122 laps. OFFICE SOLUTION (#12) rounded out the podium at 13.738 seconds, likewise on 122 laps. DANGER ZONE (#17) and PURA TEAM (#2) completed the top five, both on 122 and 120 laps respectively. All top-six finishers made exactly 7 pit stops each.

The fastest lap of the race — 51.801 s — was set by the winners, GATEDEV LUBING RACING.

From a pure-pace perspective, however, the picture is more nuanced. OFFICE SOLUTION posted the best median race pace of the field at 52.313 s per lap — 0.066 s quicker than GATEDEV LUBING RACING's median of 52.379 s — yet finished third. Their pace advantage was real across eight stints, with six of those rated as stable, but three stints in the middle of the race showed a degradation of 0.15 to 0.20 s/lap at the end, fractionally eroding their lead over the race distance. GATEDEV LUBING RACING ranked third in pure pace but converted it into victory through consistent management, with six stable stints out of eight; their two degrading stints (stints 4 and 6, slowing by 0.16 and 0.18 s/lap respectively) were short at 9 laps each, limiting the time lost.

R.A.V. RACING TEAM finished second with the fourth-best median pace (52.443 s) and the best overall consistency among the top three (σ = 0.60 s). Six of their eight stints were fully stable, and only one showed notable degradation (stint 5, –0.20 s/lap over 9 laps). DANGER ZONE was the most consistent team of the entire race (σ = 0.53 s), with all eight stints rated as stable — a remarkable regularity that helped them hold fourth place despite a median pace ranking of fifth.

The most striking contrast of the race involves SABETTA SOLO (#5), who achieved the second-best pure pace in the field yet finished last, 9 laps down. On-track speed was clearly not the limiting factor for that entry. Meanwhile, PURA TEAM finished fifth despite ranking only eighth in pure pace (median 52.622 s), demonstrating that strategic pit-stop execution can more than compensate for a pace deficit over a 122-minute race.

TMMP RACING recorded the sharpest single-stint degradation of the race: stint 6 showed a drop of 1.24 s/lap, the most pronounced slowdown observed across the entire field, and they ultimately finished 16th, seven laps off the lead.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, pace alone does not win endurance finals — OFFICE SOLUTION's best median rhythm went unrewarded on the overall result. The winners combined a top-three pace with tight degradation control on short stints and zero wasted laps. Consistency (DANGER ZONE, σ = 0.53 s) and strategic timing of pit stops (PURA TEAM, +3 places over pace ranking) are the decisive levers on this 950-metre circuit. Avoiding prolonged degrading stints — especially over 9 laps — is critical when the podium gap at the flag is under 14 seconds.
