4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE Race⏱ 3h07

The 1,200-metre circuit at RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie hosted a gruelling 186-minute endurance race on 21 September 2026, bringing together 24 teams across a demanding day of kart racing. When the chequered flag fell at lap 156, it was Maison Thevenin (kart #2) who stood atop the podium, crossing the line with 155 laps completed and a one-lap advantage over their nearest rival.

Boulangerie Mum's 3 (kart #12) claimed second place with 154 laps, while Boulangerie Nolita 2 (kart #19) rounded out the podium with 153 laps. The gap back to fourth — Julien Duhamel 2 (kart #14) at 150 laps — was already five laps, underlining just how dominant the top three were over the rest of the field. Positions five, six, and seven — La Parisienne 1, Boulangerie La Mie Deininge, and Carneiro — all finished on 148 laps, separated only by the timing of their pit stops.

The fastest lap of the entire race was set by Maison Thevenin with a time of 1:05.320, a benchmark that no other team could match across the course of the event.

Digging into the lap-time analysis, the picture of Maison Thevenin's dominance becomes even clearer. Their median race pace of 1:06.190 was the best of any team in the field — earning them first place in pure speed — and their consistency was exemplary, with an overall standard deviation of just 0.8 seconds. Across five stints, their pace remained remarkably stable, never showing meaningful degradation.

Boulangerie Mum's 3 were the closest challengers in terms of raw pace, with a median of 1:06.541 and a consistency figure of 0.79 s, making them the 2nd-fastest team in pure rhythm. Their seven stints were all stable, reflecting a well-managed race from start to finish. Boulangerie Nolita 2 were third in pure pace (1:07.289) but displayed greater variability between stints (standard deviation of 1.51 s across ten stints), with some relays well below 1:07 and others nudging 1:09 — a mixed picture that suggests a multi-driver combination with contrasting levels.

One of the most interesting strategic stories of the race belongs to La Parisienne 1. Ranked only 8th in pure pace (median 1:09.304), they nevertheless finished 5th overall, gaining three places through the quality of their race management. With ten stable stints and a consistency figure of 1.15 s, they extracted the maximum from their available pace.

Conversely, Boulangerie Mum's 1 present a cautionary tale: ranked 5th in pure rhythm, they could only manage 19th place at the finish, suggesting that race pace alone was not enough to overcome other factors during their run. Meanwhile, Julien Duhamel 2 stood out as the most consistent team of the race, posting the lowest standard deviation of any outfit — 0.79 s — across eight stints of highly stable pace.

Key takeaways for teams: At RKC Cormeilles, raw speed must be paired with consistency and sound race management. Maison Thevenin proved that combining the best pace and the highest regularity is the winning formula. La Parisienne 1 showed that pace deficits can be offset by strategic discipline, while the case of Boulangerie Mum's 1 — fast in median lap time but far down the order — is a reminder that converting pure speed into race result requires sustained execution across every stint.
