The Circuit International Lucien Lebret in Anneville Ambourville hosted its 24-hour endurance race on 12 September 2026, bringing together 40 teams over a 1.217 km layout for nearly 1,379 minutes of racing. It was a marathon test of pace, consistency and reliability, and the results reflected every dimension of that challenge.

Passion 2 Roues (kart #45) claimed overall victory with 1,322 laps completed, edging out FPMI (#314) by 5 laps (1,317) and ENDURANCE JUNIOR TDG (#345) by 9 laps (1,313). Fourth place went to YCF MINIWHEELS (#3) on the same lap count as third (1,313), while Team JPLR Moto (#41) rounded out the top five with 1,302 laps. The podium was decided in the closing stages, with only a handful of laps separating the top four at the flag.

In terms of fastest laps, the honours were spread across the field. The absolute fastest lap of the race was set by Minisupermotard (#5) with a stunning 59.687 seconds — the only team to dip below the one-minute barrier. Among the frontrunners, ENDURANCE JUNIOR TDG posted the quickest lap of the top three at 1:00.318, fractionally ahead of the winner's 1:00.371.

The pace analysis reveals a more nuanced picture of the race. ENDURANCE JUNIOR TDG held the 2nd best median pace among the analysed teams (1:03.293) and was also the most consistent team in the top five, posting a lap-time standard deviation of just 1.33 seconds. YCF MINIWHEELS matched that consistency figure (1.23 s), sharing it with Shifter Racing Team — making these two among the most metronomic outfits of the entire event. Despite finishing 4th, YCF MINIWHEELS held the 3rd best median pace (1:03.359) among analysed teams.

FPMI, the runner-up, delivered the 5th best median pace (1:03.501) with strong regularity (1.42 s), a combination that translated efficiently into laps on the board. Winner Passion 2 Roues, by contrast, ranked only 7th in terms of median pace (1:04.063), demonstrating that overall lap count — shaped by the full picture of reliability and time spent on track — ultimately determined the final standings.

L'ETOILE DU 2 ROUES (#14) stands out as perhaps the most striking underperformer relative to pace: 4th best median pace (1:03.463) among analysed teams, yet only 11th in the final classification, a significant gap worth noting. At the other end of the spectrum, MAP RACING (#390) finished 14th despite ranking only 28th in pure pace, illustrating how strategic factors can more than compensate for a raw speed deficit. Meanwhile, Minisupermotard (#5) — fastest lap of the race, best median pace, most consistent lap times (1.22 s standard deviation) — finished 38th, a stark reminder that outright speed counts for little without time on track.

Key takeaways for teams: On the Circuit Lucien Lebret over 24 hours, the data confirms that regularity and reliability outweigh peak pace. Three of the top four finishers posted standard deviations below 1.5 seconds. Teams with high consistency (sub-1.5 s) and a median pace in the 1:03–1:04 range occupied the pointy end of the results. Track time and lap accumulation remain the decisive factors in long-distance endurance — a lesson written clearly across the full 40-team field.
