4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE 1 GRP 2 Race⏱ 1h02

Twenty teams took to the 1,200-metre circuit of RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie on 25 September 2026 for a 61-minute endurance race (Course 1, Group 2). At the end of a tight and tactically demanding contest, AIRCLIMO 2 (kart #2) claimed victory with 48 laps completed, ahead of AGOCLIM (+17.246 s) and MJB (+22.997 s), both also on 48 laps.

SOLUTIONS TECHNIQUES completed the top four, 1:08.982 behind the winner and also on 48 laps, while EPG (kart #8) finished fifth with 49 laps — the highest lap count of the race — but ended up a lap down on the leading group in classification terms. ALPINISTES ACCÈS 2 crossed the line sixth, one lap behind the leaders.

The fastest lap of the race was set by AGOCLIM with a time of 1:06.800, the sharpest single lap of the entire afternoon. Yet it is AIRCLIMO 2 that takes the win, and the data explains why.

AIRCLIMO 2 was the most consistent team of the race, posting the lowest standard deviation in lap times (0.79 s) across the field. Although ranked only 2nd in pure pace — with a median race rhythm of 1:08.755 — their four pit stops were matched with remarkably stable stints throughout. Three of their five stints were rated stable, and they showed a brief acceleration phase in the opening relay. That combination of regularity and clean execution proved decisive.

AGOCLIM, runner-up on the road, tell a different story on paper. Their median race rhythm of 1:09.630 ranks only 6th in pure pace, and their standard deviation of 1.71 s reflects a more erratic pace profile. However, their final two stints were genuinely quick — a median of 1:07.851 then 1:07.253 — suggesting a strong end-of-race push that produced the absolute fastest lap but could not overturn the gap to the leader.

MJB (3rd) delivered a solid and consistent performance (0.87 s standard deviation, 3rd best pace), including a strong opening 17-lap stint. EPG (5th) are a notable case: their median pace of 1:09.052 ranks 4th, and with only 3 pit stops against 4 for most rivals, they managed the highest lap total (49) yet finished 5th in classification — a reminder of how pit-stop strategy interacts with lap counting in endurance racing.

The most striking gap between performance and result belongs to ALPINISTES ACCÈS 2: the best median race rhythm of the entire field (1:08.674), yet only 6th at the flag. Their pace was real — four stable or accelerating stints — but it did not translate into a podium position. Conversely, DTP2I (8th) showed the widest spread of performance (standard deviation 2.41 s, 15th best pace) yet outperformed their raw pace ranking through a 5-stint strategy.

Key takeaways for teams: At Cormeilles, consistency pays more than peak speed. AIRCLIMO 2's victory was built on the lowest lap-time variability in the field, not the fastest single lap. Teams with strong median pace but erratic rhythms — like AGOCLIM — must tighten their consistency across stints to convert speed into positions. The ALPINISTES ACCÈS 2 case also shows that best pace alone is not enough: strategic execution around pit stops remains the decisive variable on this 1,200-metre circuit.
