Endurance 11cv · Finale Race

The endurance Final at the Misanino karting circuit (890 m) in Misano Adriatico brought together 19 teams on 18 October 2026 for a high-intensity race decided over nearly 300 laps. When the chequered flag fell, SVK Racing (kart #5) claimed victory with 297 laps completed, edging out Romagna Rental Karting (kart #16) by just 22.310 seconds — a result that rewarded both pace and consistency over the full race distance. Roma Caput Karting Orange (kart #1) completed the podium, three laps down in third place.

The top two teams shared the same lap count, making the fight for the win a test of every aspect of endurance racing. SVK Racing stood out on every performance metric: the team posted the best pure pace of the race, with a median race lap of 45.892 s, and was simultaneously the most consistent team overall, with a standard deviation of just 0.24 s across all timed laps. Their ten stints — completed in 9 pit stops — were uniformly stable, with median stint times ranging from 45.688 s to 46.398 s. That combination of raw speed and consistency proved unbeatable.

Romagna Rental Karting matched SVK Racing lap-for-lap and also made 9 pit stops, but their median pace across the race was 46.020 s, placing them 3rd in pure rhythm. Their regularity (σ = 0.27 s) was solid, and they were never far off the leader on the road. The 22-second deficit at the flag reflects a very narrow margin over a full race distance.

The most striking strategic story of the race belongs to Roma Caput Karting Orange. Despite finishing 3rd on the road, their median race pace of 46.421 s placed them only 11th in pure rhythm — a significant overperformance relative to their raw speed, achieved through 9 pit stops (versus 11 for most rivals). Managing pit stop count efficiently gave them track position that their lap times alone would not have warranted.

At the other end of that spectrum, Romagna Rental Karting Academy (kart #17) provides the sharpest contrast: 4th at the finish, yet 2nd in pure rhythm (median 45.977 s) with 11 pit stops. Two additional pit stops compared to the podium teams appear to have cost them dearly in the overall standings.

GR39 Evo (kart #14) was another team that out-paced their classification: 5th in pure rhythm (46.170 s), they finished 9th. SMSC (kart #19) similarly ranked 4th in pace (46.090 s) while crossing the line 6th — a gap of two positions attributable to the dynamics of pit stop management across 11 stops.

The fastest lap of the race was set by Roma Caput Karting Black (kart #2) with a time of 45.517 s — an impressive individual effort from a team that ultimately finished 11th overall.

Key takeaways for teams: At Misanino, SVK Racing demonstrated that combining the best median pace with the highest consistency and a lean pit stop strategy (9 stops) is the winning formula. Romagna Rental Karting Academy's race shows that pure speed without optimised stop count can cost multiple finishing positions. Roma Caput Karting Orange's podium highlights how strategic pit stop management can offset a pace deficit by nearly eight places in the classification.
