DEK KART CUP 2026 · Finále Race⏱ 1h01

The Finále endurance race at Motokáry Modřice (Modřice, 450 m circuit) took place on 17 September 2026 over 61 minutes, with nine teams on the grid. At the flag, TÝM C (kart #9) crossed the line first with 69 laps completed, holding off TÝM A by 13.751 seconds and TÝM I by 21.817 seconds. TÝM H and TÝM D rounded out the top five, separated by just over one second between them (27.347 s and 28.436 s off the leader respectively). TÝM F finished sixth, also on 69 laps, 38.672 s adrift. TÝM G, TÝM E and TÝM B completed 68 laps each to fill positions seven through nine.

Every team made exactly five pit stops during the race. The fastest lap of the entire event was set by TÝM G (kart #15) with a 44.522 s lap — the quickest single tour of the day — posted during their final stint, where their median pace also improved to 45.375 s/lap.

The most intriguing story of the race was that of TÝM F (kart #10), which recorded the best pure race pace of the field — a median of 46.690 s/lap, 0.023 s quicker than TÝM C — yet finished only sixth. Their opening stint of just six laps at a median of 49.757 s, combined with a short fourth stint (six laps, 48.742 s median), disrupted their rhythm and ultimately cost them positions against teams who managed their stints more evenly across the race distance.

TÝM C, the winner, posted the second-best pure pace (46.713 s median) and demonstrated genuine versatility: stints three and six were both sub-45.6 s median (45.552 s and 45.473 s respectively), while stints one and five — both over 47.8 s median — reveal larger pace swings. Their overall standard deviation of 1.65 s reflects a team capable of both very fast and slower passages.

TÝM A (2nd) ran the third-best pace (46.885 s median) and delivered their strongest driving in stints three and six (45.424 s and 45.675 s median). Their fourth stint (49.493 s, nine laps) was their weakest, though they recovered well and limited the damage to the leader to 13.751 s at the finish.

TÝM H (4th) was the most consistent team on track, with the lowest standard deviation of the field at just 1.09 s — a testament to their driver changes and stint management, even if their median pace of 47.538 s/lap ranked sixth overall.

TÝM I (3rd) offers an instructive case: their pure pace ranked only fifth (47.303 s median) yet they converted that into third place, outperforming their raw speed through disciplined execution. Conversely, TÝM D (5th) showed the field's sharpest single-stint degradation, losing 0.17 s/lap across stint four — the only team to post a slowing tendency — which may have limited what was otherwise a 4th-best pace (47.173 s median).

Key takeaways for teams: at Motokáry Modřice, pace alone is not enough — TÝM F's experience shows that uneven stint lengths can negate a speed advantage. Consistency (TÝM H's σ of 1.09 s) and strategic execution (TÝM I converting 5th pace into 3rd place) are equally decisive over 61 minutes. Managing pace degradation within stints, as illustrated by TÝM D's stint four, remains a critical area for improvement heading into future events.
