4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE Race⏱ 1h01

The 61-minute endurance race held on 11 September 2026 at RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie brought together 11 teams on the 1,200-metre Piste 1, delivering a tightly contested battle across the entire field.

ERIC/XAVIER (kart 11) took the chequered flag in first position with 50 laps completed, finishing a full lap ahead of their nearest rival. They also set the fastest lap of the race with a time of 1:06.451. Their dominance was confirmed by the pure-pace analysis: a median race pace of 1:07.252 — the best of the field — combined with four stints of consistent output, including a particularly aggressive second stint where they gained 0.26 s per lap. All three pit stops were absorbed without losing the overall advantage.

BENJAMIN/BRICE (kart 1) secured second place, also on 50 laps, finishing 52.789 seconds behind the winners. Their median race pace of 1:08.497 ranked second among all teams, and their consistency throughout four stints — all rated stable — was a key asset. Their best lap of 1:07.125 underlined their speed.

YANNICK/THOMAS (kart 7) crossed the line third with 49 laps, one lap down on the leaders. Notably, their median race pace of 1:09.084 placed them only 4th in pure speed, meaning they gained one position through strategy and race management — a clear example of endurance discipline paying off.

THOMAS/SUTHAR (kart 10) finished fourth with 49 laps and stood out as the most consistent team of the race, posting a standard deviation of just 0.57 seconds across their lap times — the lowest of all 11 teams. Their four stints were all stable, reflecting exceptional regularity even if their median pace of 1:09.346 placed them fifth in pure speed.

RODOLPHE/YANNIS (kart 2) present a contrasting picture: their median race pace of 1:08.553 ranked them 3rd fastest overall, yet they finished only 5th. This gap between potential and result highlights the cost of any time lost outside the purely competitive laps.

In the midfield, PAOLO/XAVIER (kart 6), DIMITRY/DAVID (kart 4) and MARCO/MOHAMED (kart 3) all completed 48 laps and separated into 6th, 7th and 8th respectively. MARCO/MOHAMED displayed the sharpest pace degradation of the race in their third stint, losing 1.33 s per lap — the most pronounced decline recorded across all teams on the day.

FRANCOIS XAVIER/DAVID (kart 8) and REDA/LOIC (kart 5) both finished on 46 laps in 9th and 10th, four laps off the pace. CHLOE/ILYES (kart 9) rounded out the field in 11th with 45 laps completed, five laps behind the winners.

Key takeaways for teams: ERIC/XAVIER demonstrated that combining the fastest raw pace with stable stints is the winning formula on this circuit. THOMAS/SUTHAR show that maximum consistency — even at a slightly lower pace — can yield strong results. RODOLPHE/YANNIS's 3rd-best pace translating to only 5th place is a reminder that pure speed alone does not win endurance races. Finally, managing pace degradation within stints — as illustrated by MARCO/MOHAMED's third stint — is a critical area for improvement.
