2H WINTERCUP ROUND 2 · Finale Race⏱ 2h05

The Finale endurance race at Lignano Circuit FPV in Precenicco took place on 29 October 2026 over 125 minutes on the 1,187-metre Lignano layout. Twelve teams lined up for what proved to be a closely contested and technically demanding event.

BRG (kart #7) took the overall victory, completing 101 laps and crossing the finish line 22.870 seconds ahead of PKI (kart #10), who also finished on 101 laps. Lignano Circuit Fun Team (kart #3) rounded out the podium in third place, equally on 101 laps but 32.998 seconds off the lead. Friuldev Academy (kart #5) and Veneto Korse (kart #11) completed the top five, both on 101 laps, separated by less than three seconds. Gatedev Lubing Racing (kart #4) took sixth, also on 101 laps. The first lap gap appeared between 6th and 7th: ABR Mosaiko Team Verona (kart #1) finished one lap down in seventh, followed by Trieste Team Kart (kart #9, 99 laps), MM Racing (kart #12, 98 laps), Team Posok (kart #8, 97 laps) and Friuldev Karting Team (kart #6, 97 laps). Zamburlini Team (kart #2) closed the classification in 12th on 96 laps. Every team recorded 7 pit stops across the race. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by Lignano Circuit Fun Team with a 1:02.741.

On pure race pace, BRG were the benchmark, posting the best median lap time of 1:03.241 across all their timed laps. Crucially, their consistency backed it up: a standard deviation of 0.84 seconds across all stints, with every individual stint rated as stable. Their combination of raw speed and reliability translated directly into victory.

Lignano Circuit Fun Team held the second-best median pace at 1:03.366 — faster than PKI's 1:03.427 — yet finished third, 10 seconds behind PKI. Their pace was genuine but it was not enough to make up the gap in classified laps, making them the standout pace-versus-result case of the race among the podium finishers.

PKI present a different profile: ranked only 3rd in pure pace, they converted that into 2nd place on the road, illustrating how clean execution across 7 pit stops can bridge a pace deficit. Their consistency (0.88 s standard deviation) was solid throughout.

Trieste Team Kart deserve a special mention for regularity: their standard deviation of just 0.60 seconds was the lowest of the entire field, with stint medians ranging only from 1:04.202 to 1:04.426 — remarkably controlled driving over 125 minutes. Despite finishing 8th, they were the most consistent team in the race.

At the other end of the spectrum, Gatedev Lubing Racing experienced the sharpest single-stint degradation in the race: their second stint saw a drop of 1.05 s per lap, with a standard deviation of 2.24 s in just 5 laps, before recovering in subsequent stints. Despite this disruption, they ultimately finished 4th in pure pace (median 1:03.541) and 6th on the road. Zamburlini Team also stand out as an underperformer relative to pace: their median of 1:04.273 ranked them 8th fastest, yet they finished last, five laps down — suggesting on-track time lost outside of pure lap pace.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lignano Circuit FPV, outright pace alone does not decide the outcome — BRG's victory was built on combining the field's best median pace with consistent, degradation-free driving across every stint. PKI demonstrated that strategic cleanliness can compensate for a pace gap. Managing degradation through pit stop timing, as the Gatedev Lubing Racing data highlights, remains a decisive lever over 125 minutes.
