The 73-minute endurance final at the Lyon&Valence Karting circuit (1,100 m) took place on 12 September 2026, bringing together seven teams for an intense battle over the Piste Karting. At the chequered flag, LES MOUSQUETAIRES (kart #6) took a dominant victory with 70 laps completed, finishing a full lap clear of LES KIWIS (kart #4), who crossed the line in second place with 67 laps.

KARTMOILOIGNON (kart #2) and HEADERS-RACING (kart #3) both completed 66 laps, with KARTMOILOIGNON classified third on the road ahead of HEADERS-RACING in fifth — a gap explained by the scoring criteria. LES BRULEURS DE GOMME (kart #7) finished fourth with 65 laps, while DIEU C'T'ÉQUIPE (kart #1) came home sixth on 62 laps. TEAMS MN (kart #5) rounded out the field in seventh with 64 laps, but trailed the leader by 14 laps at the flag.

The fastest lap of the race was set by DIEU C'T'ÉQUIPE with a stunning 56.725 s, the sharpest single lap of the entire event. LES MOUSQUETAIRES recorded a best lap of 57.234 s, LES BRULEURS DE GOMME 57.304 s, and HEADERS-RACING 57.381 s, illustrating that raw pace was closely contested at the front of the field.

The pace analysis reveals a more nuanced picture beneath the final standings. LES MOUSQUETAIRES led every key metric: best median pace (59.136 s) and first in pure-pace ranking, fully justifying their victory. They maintained a solid consistency throughout, with a standard deviation of 0.89 s over their stint.

The most striking strategic story of the race belongs to LES KIWIS, who finished second overall despite ranking only sixth in pure pace (median 59.988 s). Their exceptional regularity (σ = 0.59 s, joint-best of the field) — tied with LES BRULEURS DE GOMME — allowed them to maximise every lap and convert consistent execution into a podium finish.

HEADERS-RACING present the most thought-provoking case: second-best median pace in the race (59.231 s), yet classified only fifth. The gap to their pure-pace potential is significant and will be a key debrief point for the team. LES BRULEURS DE GOMME also deserve credit — third-best median pace (59.513 s) and joint-finest regularity (σ = 0.59 s) — translating into a solid fourth place. KARTMOILOIGNON posted a competitive median of 59.964 s but showed the highest variability of the session (σ = 1.36 s), suggesting room for improvement in consistency.

DIEU C'T'ÉQUIPE produced the fastest single lap of the day yet ended sixth, with a median pace of 59.540 s and moderate consistency (σ = 1.00 s). TEAMS MN struggled for pace throughout, with a median lap time of 1:02.228 s, placing them seventh in both the overall standings and the pure-pace ranking.

Key takeaways for teams: On this Lyon&Valence 1,100 m layout, regularity proved decisive. LES KIWIS demonstrated that a consistent, low-variability pace can outperform higher raw speed. HEADERS-RACING's pace advantage did not translate into results, underlining that pace alone is not enough without effective execution across the full race distance. For LES BRULEURS DE GOMME, the combination of strong rhythm and excellent consistency is a solid foundation to build on for future events.
