4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE Race⏱ 2h09

The 129-minute endurance race held on 11 September 2026 at RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy l'Aillerie (Piste 1200m) brought together 20 teams for a demanding test of pace, consistency and pit-stop management. At the chequered flag, T-MATIC 1 (kart #4) claimed victory with 101 laps completed, edging out PAUSE LUNCH (kart #17) by just 0.284 seconds — one of the tightest finishes of the season. LES ATELIERS DE ST OUEN (kart #2) rounded out the podium, one lap down in third position.

COVELEC (kart #12) crossed the line fourth, also on 100 laps, ahead of HORIZON BMW 2 (kart #13, 99 laps) and MMA SERENYS SARL 1 (kart #7, 99 laps, 7 pit stops). ABVV (kart #3) and HORIZON BMW 4 (kart #11) shared the 98-lap mark in seventh and eighth respectively, joined by ACTIME (kart #19) in ninth. HORIZON BMW 1 (kart #8) completed the top ten on 95 laps.

The fastest lap of the race was set by PAUSE LUNCH with a stunning 1:06.123, the quickest time recorded across all 20 teams throughout the event.

The race analysis reveals several compelling storylines. T-MATIC 1 posted the best pure median pace of the field at 1:07.675, translating their raw speed directly into the race win. Their sixth and final stint was particularly impressive, with the team actually gaining 0.28 s/lap as the race closed out — a rare show of strength at the very end of a two-hour-plus contest.

PAUSE LUNCH was the most consistent team on track, posting the lowest lap-time standard deviation across the race at just 0.97 s. Their five stints were all markedly stable, and while their median pace ranked third overall, their ability to string together clean, unvarying laps almost carried them to the win — they fell short by only a quarter of a second.

ACTIME (kart #19, 9th) presents the most striking contrast of the race: their 2nd-best pure pace in the entire field (median 1:07.847) was entirely undermined by a very high lap-time variability (standard deviation of 3.34 s — the highest in the analysis). Two stints in particular showed significant slowdowns of 0.35 s/lap and 0.20 s/lap respectively, pointing to a fundamental consistency problem that cost them dearly in the final classification.

COVELEC (4th) faced a difficult third stint (median 1:12.592), which disrupted an otherwise competitive race — their fourth-place median pace of 1:08.273 and high overall variability (1.89 s) suggest the gap to the podium could have been narrower under more regular conditions.

Key takeaways for teams: At RKC Cormeilles over 129 minutes, raw speed alone is not sufficient — ACTIME's example shows that 2nd-best pace can yield only 9th place when lap-time consistency is lacking. The winner T-MATIC 1 combined the field's best median rhythm with controlled, stable stints across the full race distance. PAUSE LUNCH demonstrated that exceptional regularity (σ = 0.97 s) is a near-winning strategy in its own right. Teams managing 5 pit stops generally competed on equal footing at the front, while those exceeding that count (6 or 7 stops) tended to fall back in the classification.
