4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE Race⏱ 1h13

On September 15, 2026, the RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie hosted a 72-minute endurance race on the 1,200-metre Piste 1, with 15 teams taking the start. Every team completed three pit stops over the course of the race.

Victory went to MALORY / MORGAN (kart #11), who led the overall standings with 60 laps completed and finished a lap clear of the chasing pack. They also set the fastest lap of the race with a time of 1:06.137, underlining their dominance throughout the afternoon.

Second place was taken by JEREMY / FRANCK (kart #12), 29.830 seconds behind at the flag, also on 60 laps. STEPHANE / JULIEN (kart #4) completed the podium in third, 35.368 seconds off the pace. GREGORY / GUILAUMRE (kart #1) finished fourth at 44.710 seconds, ahead of MICKAEL / ANTHONY (kart #8) in fifth (55.952 s) and ROMAIN / HUGO (kart #3) in sixth (59.182 s). JULIEN / JACQUES (kart #7) rounded out the top seven, all six teams on 60 laps and separated by just over a minute.

From position eight onwards, teams fell one or more laps behind the leaders. MATHIEU / FLORIAN, THOMAS / SYLVAIN and OLIVIER / PIERRE all finished on 59 laps, as did PHILIPPE / SERGIO in 11th. OLIVIER / FERNANDO and LUCIAN / DIDIER ended on 58 laps, MENDERES / ALAIN on 57, and CHRISTOPHE / FLORIAN (kart #15) at the back of the field with 53 laps completed, seven tours down.

Pace analysis: MALORY / MORGAN posted the best pure pace of the race with a median lap time of 1:06.755 — more than a second per lap faster than the rest of the field. Their four stints were remarkably consistent: three stints showed a median around 1:06.3–1:06.6, while the two stints likely driven by the second pilot hovered around 1:08.5, all with an exceptionally low standard deviation (0.27–0.32 s), meaning almost no variation lap to lap.

JEREMY / FRANCK held the 2nd-best pure pace (median 1:07.774) and were also the most consistent team over the full race (regularity: 0.67 s). Their opening stint showed a natural warm-up phase before the pace stabilised impressively for the remaining three stints, all with sub-0.40 s deviation.

Seventh-placed JULIEN / JACQUES deserve a mention: their 4th-best pure pace (median 1:07.932) was faster than three of the six teams who finished ahead of them. Significant variations between their fast stints (~1:07.5) and slower ones (~1:09.3) likely cost them positions in the final standings.

On the other hand, MICKAEL / ANTHONY in fifth recorded the most consistent race of the entire field (overall regularity: 0.39 s), yet ranked only 7th in pure pace. Their steady, controlled driving across all four stints enabled them to finish ahead of teams that were ultimately faster on paper.

Key takeaways for teams: At RKC Cormeilles over 72 minutes, the gap between the top pace tier and the rest exceeded one second per lap — a deficit that no strategy can fully overcome. However, the contrast between JULIEN / JACQUES (fast but inconsistent) and MICKAEL / ANTHONY (consistent but moderate pace) shows that regularity is a decisive factor when the pace gap is smaller. For mid-field teams, minimising lap-to-lap variation across each stint is as valuable as raw speed.
