2H ENDURANCE · Finale Race⏱ 2h05

The Finale of the Lignano Circuit FPV endurance race took place on 23 August 2026 in Precenicco on the Lignano Circuit short layout (950 m), bringing together 22 teams for 124 minutes of racing. At the finish, the standings were tight at the front and decisive gaps opened further down, making this a rich tactical contest from start to finish.

PAGG VALFLUID (kart #13) claimed victory after 122 laps, edging out R.A.V. RACING TEAM (kart #3) by a mere 0.017 seconds — a photo-finish margin that underlines how close this race was. EURORACING ASD (kart #10) completed the podium in 3rd, also on 122 laps, 7.002 seconds behind the winner. GATEDEV LUBING RACING (4th, 24.702 s) and FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM (5th, 30.181 s) rounded out the top five, both also completing 122 laps. All seven pit stops were made by every team in the field, reflecting a uniform strategic framework throughout the race.

The fastest lap of the race was set by R.A.V. RACING TEAM with a time of 51.521 seconds — and that same team also posted the best pure pace across the entire event, with a median lap time of 52.199 s (best in the field). Yet that sheer speed was not enough to convert into victory: R.A.V. RACING TEAM finished 2nd, just 17 thousandths of a second short of the top step.

The winner, PAGG VALFLUID, ran the 2nd-best median pace (52.212 s) with solid overall consistency (σ = 0.73 s). Their relays were predominantly stable, with only a minor 0.20 s/lap drop in relay 6. This disciplined execution across eight relays proved decisive in the final reckoning.

EURORACING ASD (3rd) matched the podium's pace median (52.229 s, 3rd-best pace) but showed more pronounced end-of-stint degradation, losing 0.15 to 0.18 s/lap in four of their eight relays. R.A.V. RACING TEAM SPECIAL (7th on the road) deserves attention: their median pace of 52.392 s ranked 4th in the field, yet they finished a lap down — a gap between pace potential and classification that reflects the unforgiving nature of endurance racing.

Among the standout consistency performances, R.A.V. RACING TEAM ACADEMY (6th) recorded the lowest standard deviation in the field at σ = 0.63 s across 122 laps, despite their pace ranking only 9th overall — a testament to the value of regularity over raw speed in long-distance events.

On the other end of the spectrum, TRIESTE TEAM KART (10th) suffered the sharpest single-relay degradation of any team in the race: a 0.31 s/lap drop during relay 6, the highest recorded fade across the field. Meanwhile, R.A.V. RACING TEAM ONE (18th) had the 10th-best pure pace but finished only 18th, while LEGGERMENTE BRILLI (15th) outperformed their pace ranking of 19th — evidence that strategy and execution can compensate for a modest pace deficit.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, the 0.017 s winning margin shows that consistency and pit stop execution are at least as important as outright speed. Managing end-of-stint degradation — especially over the shorter relays seen mid-race — is critical. Teams with strong median pace but inconsistent relay ends (EURORACING ASD, TRIESTE TEAM KART) left time on the table, while PAGG VALFLUID's ability to sustain stable relays across all eight stints proved the winning formula on 23 August 2026.
