The endurance final at Misanino – Misano Adriatico (890 m circuit) on 30 August 2026 brought together 24 teams for a demanding race decided on laps completed. At the chequered flag, SVK Racing (kart #7) claimed victory with 294 laps, edging out PFV (#18) by 19.109 seconds — the two teams level on lap count but separated by the clock. Romagna Rental Karting (#1) completed the podium, also on 294 laps but 38.417 s adrift, with SVK Silver (#8) just 0.095 s further back in fourth.

The top four teams all completed 294 laps and made 9 pit stops apiece, as did fifth-placed Romagna Rental Karting Galet (#12), one lap down. From 8th position onward, teams ran 11 pit stops, a structural difference that shaped the back half of the classification.

SVK Racing delivered the strongest all-round performance of the day. The team held the best pure pace with a median race rhythm of 46.331 s — and also set the fastest lap of the entire race at 45.697 s. Their consistency was equally impressive: an overall standard deviation of just 0.32 s across ten stints, nine of which were rated stable. Stints 1, 5, 9 and 10 all came in around or below 46.4 s median, demonstrating sustained performance deep into the race.

PFV matched that stability with a race-long standard deviation of 0.28 s — the second-best figure in the top ten — and maintained the 2nd best pure rhythm at 46.388 s median. All ten of their stints were rated stable, a mark of a well-managed campaign from start to finish.

The most consistent team on pace was Romagna Rental Karting, whose standard deviation of 0.26 s was the lowest of any team analysed. Despite finishing 3rd, their pure-pace ranking was only 5th (46.479 s median), meaning their result was built more on reliability than outright speed.

Romagna Rental Karting Academy (#2) stands out as the race's most intriguing case: 4th best pure rhythm (46.463 s median) but only 8th in the final classification. Running 11 pit stops against 9 for the frontrunners, the additional pit-lane time proved costly despite pace that, lap for lap, matched the leading group.

Roma Caput Karting Orange (#23) achieved the opposite: finishing 6th with only the 13th best pure rhythm (46.820 s median, standard deviation 0.42 s), their result illustrates how pit-stop strategy and positioning can more than compensate for a pace deficit in endurance racing.

Key takeaways for teams: At Misanino, the 9-stop strategy proved decisive for the top five positions. Pure pace alone is not sufficient — Romagna Rental Karting Academy's 4th-best rhythm translated into only 8th place due to two additional pit stops. Conversely, Roma Caput Karting Orange showed that strategic management can gain multiple positions over faster rivals. SVK Racing demonstrated that combining best-in-field pace with maximum consistency across all stints is the winning formula on this 890 m circuit.
