Endurance Vrana · Závod 1H Race⏱ 1h06

Five teams lined up on the 450-metre Motokáry Modřice circuit in Modřice for the Závod 1H, a 66-minute endurance race held on 9 July 2026. The event delivered a tight battle at the front, with three teams completing exactly 75 laps and strategy proving every bit as decisive as outright pace.

AUGUSTÝN / JENDA (kart 9) took the victory, also finishing with 75 laps but holding a 7.012-second advantage over second place at the flag. Their winning margin was built not on raw speed — they ranked only 3rd in pure pace with a median race rhythm of 46.258 s — but on an exceptional level of consistency. With an overall standard deviation of just 0.69 s, they were the most regular team in the field across all four stints, each of which was rated stable. That metronome-like regularity, combined with three well-executed pit stops, allowed them to manage their race without surrendering time to unnecessary variation.

LIBOR2440 / RADAS87 (kart 6) came home second, 7.012 s adrift, also on 75 laps. They recorded the second-fastest individual lap of the race at 44.702 s and posted a median rhythm of 46.306 s (4th in pure pace). Their consistency figure of 0.93 s was moderate, with their opening stint showing the most spread before they tightened their lap times across the second half of the race.

TURBO34 / LOUBA (kart 2) completed the podium in third, 23.012 s behind the winner but equally on 75 laps. They ranked 5th in pure pace (median 46.351 s) and showed solid regularity at 0.78 s, with all four stints rated stable. Their best individual lap of 45.300 s placed them mid-field in outright speed.

DANCZEK / MARTIN1989 (kart 14) finished fourth, one lap down at 74 tours. Despite ranking 2nd in pure pace with a median rhythm of 46.167 s — faster than all three teams ahead of them on the road — they were held back by a difficult opening stint that averaged 48.118 s, though they accelerated progressively through it at a rate of 0.16 s per lap. Once settled, stints two and four were among their sharpest, but their overall consistency figure of 1.35 s — highest among the leading four — reflected that costly early phase.

ZÁVLAČKA / OBVE (kart 16) crossed the line fifth, one lap down at 74 tours, but their race deserves particular attention. They recorded the fastest lap of the entire race: 44.586 s, and posted the best median race rhythm of any team at 45.737 s — 0.5 s per lap quicker than the winners. However, a global consistency figure of 2.33 s told the story of a race run in extremes: their first and third stints averaged 50.249 s and 49.004 s respectively, while stints two and four were exceptional at 45.212 s and 44.945 s. The stark alternation between slow and fast stints — without any degradation trend, simply large inter-stint gaps — ultimately cost them the result their raw speed deserved.

Key takeaways for teams: This race at Motokáry Modřice confirmed that pure pace alone does not win endurance events. AUGUSTÝN / JENDA's victory with only the 3rd-best rhythm in the field illustrates the value of lap-time consistency across all stints. For ZÁVLAČKA / OBVE, harnessing their remarkable outright speed — the fastest in the race — into a more uniform stint structure would make them a genuine threat for the win. DANCZEK / MARTIN1989, 2nd in pure pace, show that managing the opening stint is critical to avoid losing the lap that ultimately separated them from the podium.
