150 MIN ART OF CART · Finale Race⏱ 54 min

The 53-minute endurance final at Lignano Circuit FPV (Precenicco, 1,187 m), held on 24 September 2026, brought together 18 teams for a closely fought race decided over 122 laps. At the chequered flag, CONSECURA X AQENDO (kart #13) took the victory, completing the full 122 laps and edging out DRIVERS LOUNGE (#17) by just 3.108 seconds. WINGS FOR LIFE RACEINAS (#5) completed the podium, 16.968 s behind the winner.

The next three finishers — SOLODUE SCUDERIA CLASSICA (#8, 4th), DIGICOM)) RACING TEAM 1 (#1, 5th) and ART OF CAR BURGENLAND 2027 (#10, 6th) — all completed 122 laps as well, separated by less than six seconds in a remarkably tight mid-pack battle. From 7th place onwards, gaps opened up in laps: DIGICOM)) RACING TEAM 2 (#2) finished one lap down in 7th, while LORD OF MUSTANG (#11) and VERITAS HAUS RACING 1 (#18) shared the 120-lap mark in 8th and 9th respectively, separated by a mere 0.088 s. AQENDO GERMANY (#14) was the only team to make 8 pit stops and finished last on 104 laps, 18 laps off the pace.

The fastest lap of the race was set by SOLODUE SCUDERIA CLASSICA in 1:01.650, the benchmark for the entire field. Every team made 7 pit stops, except AQENDO GERMANY with 8, meaning strategy execution was the true differentiator across the 53 minutes.

The analysis reveals a compelling gap between pace and result. DIGICOM)) RACING TEAM 1 posted the best median pace of the race at 1:04.250, yet finished only 5th — highlighting how pit stop execution and total race management can override raw speed. Conversely, CONSECURA X AQENDO, who won, ranked only 6th in pure pace (median 1:05.075) but converted that into a race victory through strategic efficiency — the clearest overperformance of the day.

VERITAS HAUS RACING 1 presents perhaps the most striking contrast: 2nd-best median pace at 1:04.441, yet classified 9th. Their consistency was also their weak point — a standard deviation of 1.41 s, the highest among the analysed teams, points to significant lap-time variation that cost them dearly over the race distance. By comparison, SOLODUE SCUDERIA CLASSICA (4th) was the most consistent team with a regularité of just 0.85 s, backed by a solid median pace of 1:04.758 (3rd best) — a combination that made them the most complete performer in the field even if the podium proved out of reach.

WINGS FOR LIFE RACEINAS (3rd, median 1:04.922, 5th in pace) showed an interesting profile across their stints: an initial acceleration of 0.20 s/lap in the opening stint, then consistency in the middle of the race, before a slowdown of 0.25 s/lap in their final stint — a natural degradation that, managed well enough, still delivered the final podium step.

Key takeaways for teams: On a circuit like Lignano's 1,187 m layout, raw pace alone does not determine the result. With all competitors making the same number of pit stops, the difference was made in the consistency and management of each stint. Teams with the best median pace (DIGICOM)) RACING TEAM 1, VERITAS HAUS RACING 1) were unable to convert their speed advantage into top positions due to lap-time variability or cumulative time losses. The winner's recipe — controlled, regular stints combined with clean pit stop execution — proved the winning formula in this 53-minute final.
