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

Eleven teams took to the 1,200-metre circuit of RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie on 11 September 2026 for a 61-minute endurance race. With every crew completing three pit stops, the contest was decided on pure pace, consistency and strategic execution over the course of the race.

ERIC/XAVIER (kart 11) took a dominant victory, completing 50 laps and finishing more than a lap clear of the field. Their margin over second place was not only positional: they also posted the fastest lap of the entire race — 1:06.451 — and the best median pace of the day at 1:07.252, making them the undisputed leaders on every metric. Their four stints were remarkably consistent: relay 1 was measured and stable (median 1:07.892, σ = 0.3 s), relay 2 was their fastest (median 1:06.873, accelerating at 0.26 s/lap), and relays 3 and 4 both settled into a tight, controlled rhythm (σ = 0.46 s and 0.37 s respectively). Overall regularity across the race stood at σ = 1.17 s — strong for a 61-minute event.

BENJAMIN/BRICE (kart 1) secured second place, also on 50 laps, finishing 52.789 seconds behind the winners. Their pace ranked second overall (median 1:08.497), and their regularity was excellent throughout (σ = 0.91 s). All four of their stints were classified as stable, with their final relay proving their fastest (median 1:07.688, σ = 0.32 s) — a strong finish to the race.

YANNICK/THOMAS (kart 7) completed the podium with 49 laps. Notably, their pure-pace ranking was 4th (median 1:09.084), meaning they outperformed their speed profile through the overall race management — a one-position gain over what raw rhythm alone would have delivered. Their consistency was solid (σ = 0.91 s), though relay 3 showed a slight drift of 0.23 s/lap before stabilising in the final stint.

THOMAS/SUTHAR (kart 10) finished 4th on 49 laps and were the most consistent team of the entire race with a regularity standard deviation of just 0.57 s. Despite their metronomic laps, their median pace (1:09.346) placed them 5th in pure speed, meaning their regularity alone could not compensate for a small pace deficit.

RODOLPHE/YANNIS (kart 2) present one of the most telling contrasts of the day: their median pace of 1:08.553 ranked them 3rd fastest overall, yet they finished only 5th on 49 laps. Their higher overall regularity index (σ = 1.24 s) suggests that pace potential was not always fully converted into lap time across the race distance.

Further back, PAOLO/XAVIER (kart 6) and DIMITRY/DAVID (kart 4) shared the same lap count (48 laps) in 6th and 7th. MARCO/MOHAMED (kart 3) also completed 48 laps in 8th, but their data flags the sharpest single-stint degradation of the race: relay 3 saw a slowdown of 1.33 s/lap before they recovered strongly in the final stint (20 laps, median 1:09.235). FRANCOIS XAVIER/DAVID (kart 8) and REDA/LOIC (kart 5) both finished on 46 laps in 9th and 10th respectively. CHLOE/ILYES (kart 9) closed the field with 45 laps completed.

Key takeaways for teams: ERIC/XAVIER demonstrated that combining the fastest raw pace with high consistency across all four stints is the most complete formula for endurance success. THOMAS/SUTHAR show that exceptional regularity (σ = 0.57 s) is valuable but must be paired with competitive pace to climb the standings. RODOLPHE/YANNIS had the speed for the podium but finished outside it — managing race-long regularity remains a priority area. Finally, MARCO/MOHAMED's relay 3 illustrates how a sharp mid-race degradation, even if recovered, can cost positions that are difficult to claw back in the time remaining.
