25H EKT - JESOLO 2026 · Finale Race⏱ 25h

The Final of the endurance race at Pista Azzurra – Jesolo (VE), held on 12 September 2026 over 1,499 minutes on the 1,052-metre circuit, brought together 42 teams for one of the most tightly contested events of the season. At the end of a gruelling race, EIRIZ PRO (kart #13) crossed the finish line first with 1,348 laps completed, edging out RED RACING (kart #27, 1,345 laps) by a margin of just 1.709 seconds after a race gap of one lap was overcome on lap 1,351. Third place went to MRK LYONS (kart #3, 1,347 laps) at 22.676 seconds from the winner. All three frontrunners completed 30 pit stops each.

The fastest lap of the entire race was set by ESOTEAM (kart #12) with a time of 1:01.481 — the benchmark for the whole field. ESOTEAM ultimately finished 8th, 47.257 seconds behind the leader. Despite that outright speed, their median race pace of 1:02.873 placed them 7th in pure pace, illustrating that raw speed alone did not translate into a higher finishing position.

In terms of pure race pace, RED RACING posted the best median lap time of the entire field at 1:02.726, narrowly ahead of EIRIZ PRO (1:02.727). Both teams showed near-identical race rhythms and equivalent lap-time consistency (regularity σ = 0.46 for both). The victory for EIRIZ PRO therefore came down to the finest of margins in overall lap count — a testament to how equally matched the top two were across the entire race distance.

MRK LYONS (3rd, median 1:02.774, σ = 0.46) and PAGG ASPOCK (4th, median 1:02.805, σ = 0.49) rounded out the top four, each occupying positions that matched their pure pace ranking — 3rd and 4th respectively — showing a clean correlation between rhythm and result at the front of the field.

One of the most notable strategic performances came from PFV (kart #7, 5th overall). Despite ranking only 8th in pure pace (median 1:02.888, σ = 0.51), they secured 5th place in the final standings, demonstrating that their race management and pit-stop execution compensated for a pace deficit versus the teams immediately behind them in the rhythm classification.

At the other end of the tactical spectrum, WRT E.V. BY ERT (11th overall) stood out as the most consistent team of the race, recording the lowest lap-time standard deviation across the field at σ = 0.43. Their median pace of 1:02.912 ranked them 10th in pure rhythm — virtually in line with their finishing position — confirming a solid, metronome-like performance throughout the 1,499 minutes.

Further down the order, EIRIZ SPORT (6th, median 1:02.810, σ = 0.50) and S8 RACE BY FISO (7th, median 1:02.857, σ = 0.50) both held positions consistent with their pace rankings (5th and 6th respectively), while VENETOKORSE (9th overall) finished two spots below their pure pace ranking of 11th. At the back of the field, AIR_RACING_TEAM (40th) was the only team to complete a different number of pit stops, recording 32 passages to the pits against the standard 30 for all other finishers.

Key takeaways for teams: At Pista Azzurra – Jesolo, the 2026 Final confirmed that at this level, race pace and lap-time consistency are the primary differentiators. The top four finishing positions mapped almost perfectly onto the top four pure pace rankings. PFV's 5th-place finish from 8th in pace shows that strategic pit-stop management can still recover ground, but the margin is limited at the front. Teams with higher standard deviation figures (σ > 0.50) consistently lost positions relative to their pace ranking, underlining that tyre and driver management across a near 25-hour race remains a critical variable.
