BUSINESS CUP · Finale Race⏱ 1h37

The Finale endurance race at Racing Kart du Mans in Montfort le Gesnois took place on 27 October 2026 on the 1,150-metre Competition circuit. Fifteen teams lined up for 97 minutes of racing, each making five pit stops over the course of the event.

FERT. (kart #5) took the overall victory with 77 laps completed, finishing a lap clear of two teams locked in a tight battle for the remaining podium positions. HERREL CONSEIL (kart #7) crossed the line second with 76 laps and a 49.470-second gap to third-placed CLASSIC AND RACING 2. (kart #2), also on 76 laps. CLASSIC AND RACING 1. (kart #14) completed the top four with 75 laps, while AEB PLOMBERIE (kart #6) and JMG IMMO. (kart #18) shared the same lap count of 74, separated by just 1.385 seconds at the flag.

The fastest lap of the race was set by FERT. with a time of 1:01.321, and their pace analysis confirms why they stood apart from the field. With a median race pace of 1:03.959 — the best pure pace of the entire field — they were in a class of their own. Their five stints showed a clear upward trajectory: from an opening-stint median of 1:09.755, they progressively reached a fifth-stint median of 1:02.249, their fastest and longest stint of 14 laps, delivered in a remarkably consistent 0.79-second standard deviation.

The most striking pace-versus-result gap belongs to JMG IMMO. (P6), who posted the 2nd best pure race pace in the field at a median of 1:05.502, ahead of teams classified above them. Their fourth and final stint, run at a median of 1:03.513 with a best lap of 1:01.837, showed genuine speed. Ultimately, the lap count worked against them.

B BRAUN. (P8) earned the title of most consistent team on track, posting the lowest standard deviation of the field at just 1.93 seconds. Their 3rd-best median pace (1:05.641) demonstrates that raw regularity alone does not secure position without an equally strong lap count.

At the other end of the pace-versus-classification spectrum, AEB PLOMBERIE (P5) outperformed their pure pace ranking of 10th through effective strategy and execution, while MAC 72. (P14) carried the 8th-best pure pace in the field yet ended up near the foot of the classified results — a reminder that race pace must translate into laps on the board.

ASK RKM (kart #30) did not complete the race and is listed without any recorded result.

Key takeaways for teams: The 97-minute Final at Racing Kart du Mans rewarded those who combined a fast median pace with progressive improvement across stints. FERT.'s structured acceleration from stint to stint — gaining nearly 7 seconds per lap in median pace between their first and final relay — proved decisive. The gap between pure pace potential and final classification, illustrated by JMG IMMO. and MAC 72., underlines that overall lap count management and pit stop timing are as important as outright speed on this circuit.
