2H ENDURANCE · Finale Race⏱ 2h04

The Finale endurance race at Lignano Circuit FPV in Precenicco was held on 20 September 2026 over 124 minutes on the 950-metre short layout, with 14 teams on the grid. At the chequered flag, EURORACING (kart #14) took the overall victory with 123 laps completed, holding off FUXIA by 7.484 seconds and FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM by 15.594 seconds. The top seven teams all finished on 122 or 123 laps, underlining the intensity and closeness of the battle throughout the race.

The best lap of the race — 51.405 s — was set by FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM (kart #11), who also posted the third-fastest median pace. All seven pit stops were made by each of the top thirteen teams, while LA CASTELA (kart #7) completed only five pit stops and ended the race 16 laps down in 14th position.

EURORACING was the dominant force across both dimensions that matter most in endurance: pure pace and consistency. Their median lap time of 52.040 s was the best of the field (1st in pace ranking), and their standard deviation of 0.67 s made them the most regular team across 123 laps. Eight stints were delivered with only one showing any meaningful drift — stint 6, where pace slipped by 0.18 s/lap — before the team returned to stable rhythm in the closing stints. The result and the performance data are perfectly aligned: EURORACING led on pace, on consistency, and on the results sheet.

FUXIA (2nd, median 52.081 s) were the closest challengers in both pace and classification, but their race was less even: stints 4 and 6 each showed a degradation of around 0.19–0.23 s/lap before being brought back under control. FRIULDEV KARTING TEAM (3rd) held 3rd in the pace ranking as well, but small pace-offs in stints 6 and 7 cost them ground against the top two.

One of the most instructive stories came from R.A.V. RACING TEAM (5th overall), who recorded the 4th-best median pace at 52.218 s — ahead of GATEDEV LUBING RACING (4th overall, 5th in pace). On raw speed, R.A.V. had the legs to finish higher, but stint 4 (degradation of 0.23 s/lap) and consistently slower final stints meant they could not convert pace into position. Conversely, GATEDEV LUBING RACING was a model of even-handed stint management: all eight stints were rated stable, with no individual relays showing any notable drift, which explains how they outclassed R.A.V. in the final standings despite a slightly slower median pace.

FRIULDEV SLOW (11th) presented the starkest pace-versus-position gap in the race: 8th-best median pace (52.670 s), yet only 11th at the finish. Their weakness was consistency — an overall standard deviation of 1.19 s, the worst in the field — with alternating fast and very slow stints throughout the race, including a degradation of 0.31 s/lap in stint 4 and 0.23 s/lap in stint 6. ASTON BIRRA (9th) went the other way: a median pace of 53.258 s placed them only 12th on raw speed, yet they finished 9th, suggesting that their pit-stop strategy extracted more from their race than their outright pace would have warranted.

The sharpest single-stint degradation of the race belonged to FRIULDEV ACADEMY, whose stint 6 drifted at 0.36 s/lap — significantly more than any other team at any point in the race.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, the winner combined the fastest median pace with the best consistency across all stints. Managing tyre or driver degradation within a stint was decisive: teams that produced irregular alternating stints (notably FRIULDEV SLOW) paid a heavy price in the final standings despite genuine pace. Stable, repeatable stint-by-stint performance — as demonstrated by EURORACING and GATEDEV LUBING RACING — proved more valuable than isolated fast laps.
