Nine teams took to the 450-metre track at Motokáry Modřice in Modřice on 26 August 2026 for a hotly contested endurance race. When the chequered flag fell, it was ORANGE CRUSHES (kart #11) who claimed overall victory with 78 laps completed, holding off a tight battle at the front of the field.

FULL THROTTLE(S) (kart #6) crossed the line in second place, also on 78 laps but 36.288 seconds adrift of the winners. FUND & FURIOUS (kart #5) rounded out the podium, a further 2.1 seconds back at 38.411 seconds from the leader — equally on 78 laps. All three podium finishers made 3 pit stops during the race.

Fourth place went to ONLY DUCKS (kart #4) on 77 laps, one lap down on the leaders, ahead of FORMULE NONE (kart #7), 21.640 seconds further back on the same lap count. ZNF (kart #2) finished sixth, two laps off the pace on 76 laps. G – FORCE (kart #17) came home seventh on 75 laps after making 4 pit stops — the only team to require an additional stop. HBK (kart #10) finished eighth on 73 laps, and CALAMBUR (kart #9) completed the classification in ninth with 72 laps.

The fastest lap of the race was set by HBK in a remarkable 44.164 s, the sharpest time of the day on the Modřice circuit.

The race analysis reveals a compelling contrast between pace and strategy. HBK posted the best pure pace of the entire field with a median race rhythm of 44.811 s per lap — 1st in pure-pace ranking — and the finest consistency figure of all nine teams (standard deviation: 1.09 s). Yet that raw speed translated only to an 8th-place finish, underlining how much time was lost elsewhere in their race.

ORANGE CRUSHES, the winners, ranked only 4th in pure pace with a median rhythm of 47.096 s, but executed their strategy to perfection across four stable stints. Their consistency (σ = 1.4 s) and their ability to manage their three pit stops efficiently proved decisive, allowing them to outperform teams with inherently quicker karts.

FUND & FURIOUS (2nd in pure pace, median 46.410 s) and FULL THROTTLE(S) (3rd in pure pace, 46.916 s) both showed the speed to win but finished 2nd and 3rd respectively — close, but unable to overhaul the ORANGE CRUSHES strategy. G – FORCE suffered the steepest pace drop of the race in their second stint, losing 0.40 s per lap, a degradation that contributed to their 7th-place result despite holding 5th in the pure-pace standings.

Key takeaways for teams at Motokáry Modřice: pure speed alone does not determine the result on this 450-metre circuit. ORANGE CRUSHES' victory with only the 4th-best rhythm shows that stable stints, consistent lap times and well-managed pit stops are worth more than raw pace. HBK's fastest-lap-of-the-race pace finishing 8th is the starkest reminder: converting speed into laps on track is everything in endurance racing.
