4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE 1 GRP 1 Race⏱ 1h03

The 62-minute endurance race held on 25 September 2026 at RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie (Piste 1200m, Course 1 Group 1) brought together 19 teams for a highly competitive encounter on one of the Val-d'Oise region's most active circuits. When the chequered flag fell, it was ALPINISTES ACCES 1 (kart #3) who claimed victory with 49 laps completed.

The top six teams all finished on 49 laps, making the final classification a matter of seconds. MENUISERIE ST ANTOINE (kart #12) took second place, 8.550 seconds behind the winner, while MONCELEC (kart #13) completed the podium at 16.686 seconds. ALHYSEES 1 (kart #2) and GOGY 1 (kart #9) rounded out a tightly packed top five, separated by less than a minute from the leader. FFB 95 1 (kart #8) came sixth, just over a lap's worth of time adrift. All six of these teams completed 4 pit stops each.

From position seven onwards, the field spread across lap counts: GOGY 3 (7th, 48 laps), then a group of five teams on 47 laps — EBUROTIC (8th), TERRALIS 1 (9th), TMO (10th), VANOIA RÉNOVATION 2 (11th), and SMABTP (12th). DI BENEDETTO completed the group on 47 laps in 13th. LE POIDS LOURD 95, ALPINISTES ACCES 3, and AIRCLIMO 1 each posted 46 laps (14th to 16th), ahead of BTP CFA ERMONT (17th, 46 laps) and SADEQ ELECTRICITE 2 (18th, 45 laps). TEMPERE CONSTRUCTION 1 completed 42 laps in 19th, with only 3 pit stops recorded.

The fastest lap of the race — 1:05.949 — was set by BTP CFA ERMONT (kart #5), a remarkable single-lap performance from a team that ultimately finished 17th.

The race analysis reveals a clear picture at the top. ALPINISTES ACCES 1 held the best pure pace of the entire field, with a median race pace of 1:07.273, and backed it up with excellent consistency across their four stints (standard deviation of 1.28 s overall, with individual stints as tight as 0.41 s). Their opening 12-lap stint set the tone with a median of 1:06.730, and their closing 16-lap stint — their longest — was equally fast at 1:06.814 median, including their outright best lap of 1:06.254. Pace and consistency in harmony: a deserved victory.

MENUISERIE ST ANTOINE were remarkably consistent overall (σ = 0.89 s), particularly in their first three stints, though their fourth relais showed a slight improvement in pace (accelerating 0.22 s/lap) rather than any deterioration — a positive sign for future events. MONCELEC stood out as the most consistent team in the race (σ = 0.59 s), with only 3 stints and a steady, disciplined approach throughout.

FFB 95 1 posted the 4th-best pure pace (median 1:08.079) but crossed the line 6th — their higher consistency variance (σ = 1.87 s) and a slower final two stints compared to their opening 26-lap stint suggest pace was not fully sustained across the race. GOGY 1 showed strong intermediate-race speed, particularly in stints 2 and 3 (medians of 1:07.249 and 1:06.826 respectively), but a slower final long stint (18 tours, median 1:08.704) capped their overall performance in 5th.

Perhaps the most striking contrast in the field was BTP CFA ERMONT: the fastest lap of the race to their name (1:05.949), yet only 2nd-best pure pace across the race, finishing 17th. Conversely, TMO (10th at the flag) significantly outperformed their 15th-best pure pace, demonstrating that strategy and clean execution can more than compensate for raw speed in endurance racing.

Key takeaways for teams: Pure pace is necessary but not sufficient — ALPINISTES ACCES 1 won precisely because they combined the best median pace with strong consistency across all stints. Teams like FFB 95 1 and ALHYSEES 1 (7th-best pace, 4th at the flag) show both the cost of inconsistency and the gains possible through solid management. MONCELEC's model of ultra-consistency (σ = 0.59 s) is worth studying: three clean, regular stints secured a podium with a pace ranked only 5th. Finally, BTP CFA ERMONT's case is a reminder that a stunning single lap means little without the overall race pace to match it.
