DEK KART CUP 2026 · Finále Race⏱ 1h01

The Finale endurance race at Motokáry Modřice (Modřice, 450-metre track) took place on 17 September 2026, bringing together nine teams over a 61-minute contest. At the end of a closely fought race, 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.

Six teams finished on 69 laps — TÝM C, TÝM A, TÝM I, TÝM H, TÝM D and TÝM F — making the gaps at the front especially meaningful. TÝM G (7th), TÝM E (8th) and TÝM B (9th) each completed 68 laps, with TÝM G leading that group ahead of TÝM E (5.163 s) and TÝM B (26.007 s). Every team made 5 pit stops during the race.

The fastest lap of the race was set by TÝM G (kart #15) in 44.522 seconds, a remarkable single-lap effort that was not reflected in their overall pace. TÝM A recorded the second-best individual lap (44.926 s), followed by TÝM C (45.068 s).

The pace analysis reveals a striking contrast between race result and pure rhythm. TÝM F posted the best median pace of the entire field at 46.690 s/lap, yet finished only 6th — illustrating how stop strategy and consistency can override raw speed in endurance racing. By contrast, TÝM C, the winner, ranked 2nd in pure pace (46.713 s/lap), combining competitive speed with sound execution across six stints.

TÝM H stood out as the most consistent team of the day, with a standard deviation of just 1.09 s across all laps — the lowest in the field. Despite finishing 4th, their regularity underlines strong driver discipline throughout the 61 minutes. TÝM I was the most notable strategic performer: ranked only 5th in pure pace (median 47.303 s/lap), they climbed to 3rd place overall, gaining two positions over their pace ranking through disciplined pit stop management.

TÝM C's stints paint a portrait of a structured race: their 3rd and 6th stints were their sharpest, both dipping below 45.5 s median, and across five of their six relays they showed an improving trend within each stint. TÝM A's race featured more variation — a slow opening relay (49.863 s median) contrasting with very competitive middle and closing stints (45.4–45.7 s median) — yet their consistent final 14-lap relay helped secure 2nd place.

TÝM D recorded the most notable pace loss within a stint: their 4th relay saw a degradation of 0.17 s/lap, the sharpest trend of any team, costing them time at a crucial phase of the race and contributing to their 5th-place finish despite holding 4th in pure median pace.

Key takeaways for teams: raw pace alone did not determine the result at Motokáry Modřice on 17 September 2026. TÝM F's speed went unrewarded in the standings, while TÝM I turned moderate pace into a podium finish. Regularity (TÝM H, σ = 1.09 s) and the ability to maintain pace across all six stints — as TÝM C demonstrated — proved decisive. Managing pace degradation within stints, as illustrated by TÝM D's 4th relay, remains a critical focus for future endurance events on this 450-metre circuit.
