Sixteen teams took to the 1,200-metre circuit of RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie on 18 September 2026 for a 61-minute endurance race that proved highly competitive at the front, with six teams separated by fewer than a minute at the flag.

MOHAMED / ARNAUD (kart 9) took overall victory with 48 laps completed, edging out ROMAIN / NICOLAS (kart 6) by 5.188 seconds and JONATHAN / YASMINE (kart 8) by 10.383 seconds. Both second- and third-placed teams also completed 48 laps. TONY / BASTIEN (kart 1) and JEROME / ALEXANDRE (kart 13) rounded out the top five, also on 48 laps but significantly further back — at 40.163 s and 41.779 s respectively. BATISTE / KEVIN (kart 12) completed the six-team group on 48 laps, finishing 51.492 s adrift. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by MOHAMED / ARNAUD in 1:07.576.

From position 7 onward, the field fell one or more laps behind the leaders: WILLIAM / FAYCAL, MATHIEU / MIHAI, PASCAL / MOHAMED and ARRIS / QHOC THONG all finished on 47 laps, while FRANCK / ADIL recorded 46 laps and KARIM / DYLAN and STEVEN / EDOUARD 45. GAETAN / MOHAMED AYMEN and ANTONIN / ABDELMAJID both completed 44 laps in 15th position. OMAR / SANAA (kart 16) did not record a classified result.

Each team made 3 pit stops over the course of the race, with the exception of JEROME / ALEXANDRE who made 4 stops.

Rhythm and consistency analysis reveals a race that was more complex than the final standings suggest. MOHAMED / ARNAUD posted the best pure pace of the field with a median lap time of 1:09.205, and backed it up with four stable stints — their standard deviation of 1.41 s across 48 laps underlines a well-controlled performance throughout. ROMAIN / NICOLAS (2nd) showed a contrasting profile: two very sharp stints in the 1:08–1:09 range alternated with two slower stints above 1:11, resulting in a median pace of 1:09.876 (3rd best) and a slightly higher variability of 1.71 s.

The standout anomaly belongs to JEROME / ALEXANDRE, who recorded the second-best median pace (1:09.776) across 48 laps yet finished only 5th. Their four stops — one more than most rivals — and a high overall standard deviation of 2.22 s point to the cost of additional time spent in the pits. MATHIEU / MIHAI present a similar case: 4th in pure pace (1:10.187) but only 8th at the finish, with a notably high variability of 3.21 s — their second stint in particular reached a median of 1:16.934, a clear drop in pace compared to the rest of their race.

On the other end of the spectrum, TONY / BASTIEN finished 4th despite ranking only 7th in pure pace (1:11.195), illustrating how consistent execution and smart pit timing can more than compensate for a slight pace deficit. FRANCK / ADIL (11th overall) recorded the most consistent race of the day, with a standard deviation of just 1.14 s across 46 laps — a remarkable degree of regularity, even if it was not enough to challenge for a top position.

Key takeaways for teams: at RKC Cormeilles, raw pace alone does not decide the outcome. The winning combination here was best pure pace plus four stable stints with no significant deterioration. Pit stop management proved critical: one extra stop, as experienced by JEROME / ALEXANDRE despite their strong pace, can cost several positions. Teams showing high lap-time variance — particularly in a single problematic stint — lost significant ground that their overall speed could not recover. Consistency across all stints, more than peak lap time, was the decisive factor on 18 September 2026.
