On 13 September 2026, the Lenovo South Milano Circuit (1,380 m) hosted a gruelling 306-minute endurance race organised by LSTiming, with 45 entries on the grid. At the end of a closely fought afternoon, PF RACING (kart #37) crossed the line first with 1,161 laps completed, edging out B.V. RACING – APMOTORSPORTS (kart #7) by just 19.239 seconds — a remarkably tight margin after more than five hours of racing. Third place went to KARTEL (kart #14), also on 1,161 laps, 45.789 s behind the winner. The top three were therefore separated by fewer than 46 seconds, while fourth-placed MADKIT RACING (kart #31) and fifth-placed NO BRAKES NO BRAIN RACING (kart #42), both on 1,159 laps, were classified two laps down.

The fastest lap of the race was set by MADKIT RACING in 1:08.763, the sharpest single lap of the day. Among the top three, KARTEL came closest with a best lap of 1:08.832, while B.V. RACING – APMOTORSPORTS recorded 1:08.862 and PF RACING 1:08.872.

Turning to the pace analysis, PF RACING led the field on pure median race rhythm at 1:09.762 — the best of all 45 entries — confirming that their victory was built on genuine speed, not just strategy. KARTEL posted the 2nd-best median pace (1:09.779) and B.V. RACING – APMOTORSPORTS the 3rd (1:09.797), making the podium a faithful reflection of outright pace. The gap between these three teams in pure rhythm was less than 0.035 s/lap over the full race distance.

KARTEL SPORT (P8) and GOATS RACING TEAM (P7) stood out with the 4th and 5th-best median rhythms respectively (1:09.823 and 1:09.833), finishing just outside the top six despite their competitive pace. MR KARTING (P11) delivered the 8th-best pace (1:09.846) from only 18 pit stops — the fewest of any team in the top 12 — and completed 246 laps with a solid regularity of 0.51 s standard deviation. BREMO 58 (P9) was the most consistent team in the entire field, posting the lowest standard deviation at 0.45 s across 249 laps and just 5 stints, underlining remarkable collective regularity throughout the race.

The strategic highlight of the afternoon came from NO BRAKES NO BRAIN RACING, who finished 5th overall despite ranking only 25th in pure pace (median 1:10.610). With 29 pit stops and 246 laps completed, their race management clearly compensated for a significant speed deficit — a textbook example of strategy and execution outweighing raw lap time. At the other end of the spectrum, MADKIT RACING set the fastest lap of the day yet ranked only 12th in pure median rhythm (1:10.115 over race distance), illustrating how a single flying lap does not always translate into sustained competitive pace.

Key takeaways for teams: At the Lenovo South Milano Circuit over 306 minutes, pure pace was the primary differentiator among the top three — all three podium finishers also ranked in the top three for median race rhythm. However, NO BRAKES NO BRAIN RACING demonstrated that disciplined pit-stop management can bridge a gap of over 20 median positions in pure speed. Regularity was also decisive: teams with standard deviations below 0.55 s consistently finished in the top ten, regardless of the number of stints. Any team targeting a top-five result at this circuit should prioritise consistency of lap times across all stints alongside a well-planned pit-stop cycle.
