150 MIN ART OF CART · Finale Race⏱ 1h37

Eighteen teams took to the 1,187-metre Lignano Circuit FPV in Precenicco on 24 September 2026 for the Finale of this karting endurance event, a 97-minute battle that produced a clear hierarchy at the front while delivering some intriguing sub-plots further down the order.

Wings for Life Raceinas (kart #5) claimed overall victory with 79 laps completed, finishing a full lap ahead of the rest of the field. Their success was built on a combination of raw pace and consistency: they posted the best median race pace of the entire field at 1:03.995 per lap and maintained a remarkable overall standard deviation of just 1.21 seconds across their five stints. Four pit stops proved sufficient to keep them competitive throughout the 97 minutes, and their pace held up well with only a modest 0.19 s/lap fade in the closing stint.

Consecura X Aqendo (kart #13) crossed the line second on 77 laps, a full lap down on the winners but holding off Art of Car Burgenland 2027 (kart #10) by 26.990 seconds — the two teams sharing the same lap count of 77. Consecura X Aqendo posted the second-best median race pace at 1:04.495, reinforcing the validity of their runner-up position. Art of Car Burgenland 2027 completed the podium despite ranking only fifth in pure pace (median 1:05.070), underscoring the value of consistent execution across five stints.

Drivers Lounge (kart #17) finished fourth on 76 laps and earned the distinction of being the most consistent team of the race, with the lowest overall standard deviation of 0.90 seconds — a figure that reflects exceptional regularity across all five of their stints. Their median pace of 1:04.711 ranked them third in pure pace, suggesting they had the speed to challenge higher up the order.

Digicom)) Racing Team 1 (kart #1) presents the race's most striking strategic paradox: fourth-best median pace at 1:05.023, yet classified eighth — a gap of four positions explained by factors reflected in the lap count rather than raw speed alone. In a similar vein, Digicom)) Racing Team 2 (kart #2) ranked seventh in pure pace but finished twelfth, illustrating how pace alone does not determine the final standings in endurance racing.

At the other end of the scale, Veritas Haus Racing 1 (kart #18) demonstrated what strategic pit-stop management can achieve: ranked only 13th in pure pace with a median of 1:06.454 and a notably higher standard deviation of 1.96 seconds, they nonetheless finished seventh — gaining six positions over their pure pace ranking. Four pit stops helped limit time lost in the pits, though a progressive 0.21 s/lap slowdown in their final stint pointed to increasing difficulty in the closing phase.

The absolute fastest lap of the race was set by Solodue Scuderia Classica (kart #8) with a stunning 1:01.650, the quickest single lap of the entire afternoon. The team finished fifth overall on 76 laps.

Aqendo Germany (kart #14) endured the toughest race, completing just 67 laps — 11 laps off the pace of the leaders — and suffering the steepest degradation observed in the data, with a drop of 1.84 s/lap across their second stint.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, pure pace and race result aligned closely only for the top two finishers. The data confirms that regularity (as demonstrated by Drivers Lounge at σ = 0.90 s) and pit-stop efficiency are decisive differentiators in a 97-minute endurance format. Teams with strong median pace who slipped down the order — notably Digicom)) Racing Team 1 and Team 2 — highlight how stint management and on-track consistency must accompany raw speed to convert pace into positions.
