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 on a compact but demanding track. When the chequered flag fell, EURORACING (kart #14) claimed overall victory with 123 laps completed, edging out FUXIA (#13) by just 7.484 seconds — a margin that reflects how closely matched the leading teams were throughout the event. FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM (#11) rounded out the podium, a further 15.594 seconds back. The top seven teams all finished on 123 laps (or 122 laps with identical tour counts for places 3, 6 and 7), separated by less than 41 seconds — a testament to the intensity of the battle at the front.

All fourteen teams made 7 pit stops each, with the sole exception of LA CASTELA (#7), who recorded only 5 stops and finished last on 107 laps, 16 laps adrift of the leaders.

The fastest lap of the race was set by FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM in 51.405 seconds — the quickest single lap of the entire event. Despite this outright speed, the team had to settle for third place overall.

Diving into the pace analysis, EURORACING posted the best median race pace of the field at 52.040 s per lap, and proved to be the most consistent team with the lowest standard deviation across all their stints (σ = 0.67 s). Their eight stints were almost universally marked as stable, with only a marginal slowdown of 0.18 s/lap in their sixth relay — a remarkable level of control over more than two hours of racing. This combination of pace and regularity, confirmed by their rank 1 in both pure pace and consistency, was decisive.

FUXIA was right on EURORACING's heels with a median pace of 52.081 s (2nd best), but showed more variability in their stints: relays 4 and 6 each saw degradation of 0.19 and 0.23 s/lap respectively, which may explain the final gap. FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM came third in pure pace (52.217 s median) and was the source of the outright fastest lap, though two of their later stints drifted slightly.

One of the more striking contrasts of the race involved R.A.V. RACING TEAM and GATEDEV LUBING RACING. R.A.V. RACING TEAM held the 4th best pace (52.218 s median) yet finished 5th, while GATEDEV LUBING RACING achieved only the 5th best pace (52.229 s) yet finished 4th — a reversal that highlights the strategic complexity of stint management at Lignano Circuit.

Further down the order, FRIULDEV SLOW deserves a mention: ranked 8th in pure pace (52.670 s median) but finishing 11th, they were among the faster cars in raw terms yet suffered from pronounced inconsistency (σ = 1.19 s, the highest of any analysed team), with repeated sharp slowdowns in relays 4 and 6. Conversely, ASTON BIRRA finished 9th despite having only the 12th best pace (53.258 s median), suggesting effective execution within their pace window.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, consistency over 124 minutes proved as valuable as outright speed. EURORACING's dominance was built on sustained, controlled pace across all eight stints rather than on peak lap times alone. Teams experiencing tyre or pace degradation within stints — particularly those losing 0.2 s/lap or more — should review their stint lengths and driver rotation windows. Managing regularity (low σ) while maintaining median pace close to 52 s appears to be the performance benchmark on this 950-metre layout.
