300 TOURS DE BRESSE · Finale Race⏱ 5h25

The endurance final at Lyon Valence Karting Circuit (1100m) brought together 26 teams on 26 September 2026 for a gruelling 324-minute race. Split across the GP1 and GP2 categories, the event delivered a highly competitive battle from start to finish, with the overall standings ultimately decided by a mix of raw pace and consistency.

TEAM DU BUGEY GP1 (kart #29) took the chequered flag in first place with 290 laps completed, winning by a margin of one lap over the field. Their victory was backed by the fastest lap of the entire race — a 56.245s, the best time recorded across all competitors — and a remarkable median race pace of 59.347s, placing them 2nd in pure pace over the full distance. Their consistency was equally impressive, with a standard deviation of just 0.79s, reflecting a very stable and controlled performance across their stint.

LES BRULEURS DE GOMME GP1 (kart #14) crossed the line in second place having actually completed the most laps of the entire field — 295 — but finished 23.206 seconds behind on corrected time. Their median pace of 59.391s ranked 3rd in pure speed, and their consistency figure of 0.81s was among the best in the field.

AG RACING TEAM GP1 (kart #15) rounded out the podium in third place with 291 laps, finishing one lap down on the leader. Notably, AG Racing Team posted the best pure race rhythm of the entire field with a median lap time of 59.307s, yet could only convert that pace into a 3rd-place finish — a sign that strategy or other race factors played a decisive role in the outcome.

Further down the order, CNP GP1 (kart #16) and LES CYCLOPES LOUCHEURS GP1 (kart #2) completed the top five, both finishing on 289 laps. MALAYSIA BOLETH GP1 (kart #19) also ended on 289 laps in 6th, though their median pace of 1:00.308s ranked only 8th in the field, and their consistency figure of 1.14s was the least stable in the top ten.

A standout finding from the data concerns TIC TAC TOC GP1 (kart #20), who finished 7th overall but were the most consistent team in the race, recording a standard deviation of just 0.71s — the lowest of any analysed team. Despite their regularity, their median pace of 1:00.016s limited their ultimate result.

STEELMEN GP1 (kart #1) provides another interesting case: finishing 11th overall despite ranking only 14th in pure pace (median 1:00.837s, σ = 1.25s, the least consistent of the analysed teams), suggesting they benefited from favourable strategic positioning during the race. Conversely, FATHERS AND SONS GP1 (kart #27), although unincluded in the detailed analysis summary, ranked 11th in pure pace yet finished only 19th, highlighting a significant gap between their speed potential and their final classification.

In the GP2 category, BKC GP2 (kart #23) and LES TRACES DE PNEUS GP2 (kart #3) led the way, finishing 9th and 10th overall respectively, both on 284–286 laps.

Key takeaways for teams: At Lyon Valence, having the best pure pace is not sufficient on its own — AG Racing Team's fastest median rhythm translated into only 3rd place. Consistency (low standard deviation) and strategic execution appear to be the decisive factors over 324 minutes. Teams should also note that a low best-lap time does not always reflect overall race rhythm: the gap between one-lap speed and median pace can be substantial at this level.
