2H ENDURANCE · Finale Race⏱ 2h04

The Finale of the Lignano Circuit FPV endurance race, held on 20 September 2026 in Precenicco on the 950-metre short layout, brought together 14 teams for 124 minutes of racing. At the chequered flag, it was EURORACING (kart #14) who took the overall victory with 123 laps completed, holding off FUXIA (kart #13) by just 7.484 seconds and FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM (kart #11) by 15.594 seconds. The top seven finishers all completed 123 laps, underlining how closely matched the leading group was throughout the race.

The fastest lap of the race was set by FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM with a stunning 51.405 s, while EURORACING and FUXIA posted best laps of 51.610 s and 51.559 s respectively. All 14 teams made 7 pit stops during the race, with the sole exception of LA CASTELA (kart #7), who made only 5 and finished 14th with 107 laps — 16 laps down on the leader.

Looking beyond the raw results, the performance analysis reveals the full picture of this closely fought event. EURORACING posted the best pure pace of the field with a median lap time of 52.040 s, and also proved to be the most consistent team overall, with a standard deviation of just 0.67 s across all stints. Their eight stints were almost uniformly stable, with only a minor slowdown of 0.18 s/lap noted in stint 6 — a remarkable display of regularity over two hours of racing. On pace alone, EURORACING fully deserved their victory.

FUXIA, second on pace (52.081 s median) as well as on the road, showed two more pronounced degradation episodes — stints 4 and 6 both slowing by around 0.19–0.23 s/lap — yet recovered well in each case. FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM, third in pace (52.217 s), contributed the fastest individual lap of the meeting and also showed slight slowdowns in stints 6 and 7, without ultimately compromising their podium.

One of the more intriguing stories of the race involves FRIULDEV SLOW (kart #5), who finished 11th despite ranking 8th in pure pace (52.670 s median). Their race was marked by the highest overall inconsistency in the field (standard deviation of 1.19 s) — a pattern of very fast laps mixed with significant slowdowns, including drops of 0.31 s/lap in stint 4 and 0.23 s/lap in stint 6. Conversely, ASTON BIRRA (kart #8) gained places through the race to finish 9th despite ranking only 12th in pure pace (53.258 s), outperforming their raw speed through race management.

The sharpest single-stint degradation of the race belonged to FRIULDEV ACADEMY, who lost 0.36 s/lap in their sixth stint — the steepest fade recorded across any stint in the field.

Key takeaways for the teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, pace consistency over the full race distance was the decisive factor: EURORACING's combination of the best median rhythm and the lowest standard deviation proved unbeatable. Teams experiencing high variance between stints — notably FRIULDEV SLOW — paid a heavy price in final classification despite genuine underlying speed. Managing tyre or physical degradation within each stint, and limiting the number of slow relais, appears essential on this 950-metre circuit. With all competitive teams converging on 7 pit stops, the differentiating margin came down to who could sustain their lap times most reliably across all eight stints.
