The 24 Hours Ace endurance race at Motokáry Modřice (Modřice, 450 m circuit) was held on 22 August 2026, with 13 teams competing over 260 minutes of racing. The event delivered a closely contested battle at the front, where consistency and pace management proved decisive across the full duration.

CAFI RACING TEAM (kart #11) claimed victory with 321 laps completed, edging out DYMOVEE RACING (kart #10) by just 7.891 seconds — a remarkably tight margin given the race length. Both teams completed the same number of laps and each made 2 pit stops. CAFI RACING TEAM also set the fastest lap of the entire race, a 43.931 s benchmark. Their dominance was total: they led both the race result and the pure pace rankings, posting the best median race rhythm at 44.248 s and the lowest lap-time standard deviation of the field at just 0.16 s, making them the most consistent team on track across all three stints.

DYMOVEE RACING matched CAFI lap-for-lap and held the 2nd best median pace (44.277 s) with strong consistency (σ = 0.17 s). Their three stints were steady, with a best lap of 44.005 s. The battle between these two teams defined the race, with neither able to pull away decisively until the final moments.

RACECRAFT ACADEMY (kart #5) completed the podium in 3rd place with 319 laps, finishing 1 lap down. Notably, their pure rhythm ranked only 4th in the field (44.475 s median), meaning their P3 result relied on efficient race management across 2 pit stops. LD-RACING (kart #9) also completed 319 laps but finished 4th, despite holding the 3rd best median pace (44.430 s) — their extra pit stop (3 vs. 2) compared to the teams ahead proved costly in terms of final classification.

FALCONWEST KARTING (kart #7), ENZO (kart #12), and KULATE OBDELNIKY RACING (kart #6) all finished on 315 laps in 5th, 6th, and 7th respectively. ENZO's result is particularly notable: classified 6th with only 2 pit stops, they ranked just 10th in pure pace (44.959–45.391 s median across stints) — a textbook case of strategic pit stop management compensating for a slower raw rhythm.

Conversely, SUPER COLORS RACING TEAM (kart #13) illustrated the cost of frequent pit stops: despite holding the 6th best pure pace (44.697 s median), their 5 pit stops dropped them to 9th place with 312 laps — a significant gap between potential and result.

At the back of the field, SEBIMOTO RACING TEAM (12th, 309 laps) and GROOT'S HUNTERS (13th, 308 laps) closed out the classification, both showing higher lap-time variability across their stints.

Key takeaways for teams: This race at Motokáry Modřice demonstrated that raw pace alone is not sufficient — CAFI RACING TEAM won by combining the fastest rhythm, the best consistency, and a disciplined 2-stop strategy. LD-RACING's 3rd-best pace yielded only 4th place, while ENZO turned a bottom-tier pace into 6th with minimal stops. For future endurance events on this circuit, limiting pit stops and maintaining lap-time consistency (σ below 0.20 s) appear to be the primary performance levers.
