4H00 DU LUC 2026 · Finale Race⏱ 4h01

STF BY KARTCUP claimed victory in the Endurance Final held on 1 November 2026 at Prestige Karting in Le Luc en Provence (983 m circuit), edging out GAM'IT RACING by just 31.244 seconds after 241 minutes of racing in a 29-team field. The winning kart #1 completed 212 laps, matching the runner-up's tally but holding a gap of over half a minute at the chequered flag.

The podium was completed by JB#17 FOREVER (kart #17, 211 laps), one lap down on the top two, while GAM'IT RACING SPORT finished fourth at five laps. From 5th through 10th, five teams — C.A.D., TEAM BERTUCCI, KRS RACING TEAM, TDMS1, ITSB and VAR ASSISTANCE 1 — all completed 206 laps, separated by tight gaps down the order. The best lap of the entire race was set by STF BY KARTCUP with a 1:01.454.

Pace analysis — a clear hierarchy at the front. The rhythm data confirms the finishing order at the top: STF BY KARTCUP posted the best median pace across the race at 1:01.999 (1st in pure pace), with all seven stints rated stable and a remarkable consistency index of 0.47 s. GAM'IT RACING followed closely with a median of 1:02.238 (2nd in pure pace, same consistency at 0.47 s), also with eight stable stints throughout the 241 minutes. JB#17 FOREVER secured 3rd in both classification and pure pace at 1:02.530, maintaining an exemplary regularity of 0.45 s across eight stints — the tightest of any top-three finisher.

GAM'IT RACING SPORT stood out as the most consistent team in the entire field, recording a standard deviation of only 0.39 s across ten stints — a remarkable display of driver regularity over nearly four hours. Their 4th-place finish (4th in pure pace, median 1:02.832) reflects a perfectly coherent performance, with one slight slowdown of 0.17 s/lap in their 5th stint being the only note of variation.

Among the notable gaps between pace and result, ER KARTING (kart #14) finished 15th despite ranking 12th in pure pace, suggesting that time lost in pit stops or traffic cost them meaningful positions. Conversely, MSCQ RACING finished 14th while ranking only 16th in pure pace, gaining two positions through strategic efficiency. At the other end of the spectrum, BOURY NOEL recorded the sharpest pace drop of the race, with their 9th stint showing a degradation of 0.75 s/lap, contributing to a 28th-place finish (195 laps). CARROSSERIE SONIC AUTO 1 completed just 182 laps, finishing last in 29th position with 13 pit stops — the most of any team in the field.

Key takeaways for teams: This Final at Prestige Karting confirms that the battle for victory was decided by pace alone — STF BY KARTCUP and GAM'IT RACING matched lap count and pit stop count (8 each) but separated by raw speed. For the midfield, the data shows clear gains to be made through regularity: teams like TEAM BERTUCCI (overall consistency of 0.91 s) paid a price for irregular stints. Pit stop strategy also matters — one extra stop against the benchmark (9 vs. 8) cost time across the board. Managing tyre degradation over the final stints, where several teams lost between 0.16 and 0.75 s/lap, proved decisive for positions 5 through 10.
