4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE 2 GRP 1 Race⏱ 1h03

The 63-minute endurance race (Course 2 – Group 1) at RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie brought together 19 teams on the 1,200-metre Piste 1 on 25 September 2026. With every team making exactly four pit stops, the race was decided by pace, consistency, and the ability to string together clean stints throughout the hour.

ALPINISTES ACCES 1 (kart #3) took a dominant victory, completing 50 laps and finishing a full lap clear of the field. They also set the fastest lap of the race with a 1:05.987, the sharpest time of the afternoon. Their pace data confirms a race run entirely on their own terms: a median race pace of 1:06.800 — the best of all 19 teams — combined with the strongest overall consistency (σ = 0.64 s). All four stints were rated stable, with the longest stint covering 17 laps at a median of 1:06.628. A complete performance from start to finish.

MENUISERIE ST ANTOINE (kart #12, 5th on the road) posted the 2nd-best pure race pace at a median of 1:07.880, also completing 50 laps, but a gap of two laps to the leader on the road hints at timing within the stint structure that did not convert speed into positions. ALHYSEES 1 (kart #2, 8th on the road, 50 laps) held the 3rd-best pace (1:07.912) with solid consistency across five stints (σ = 0.87 s), yet also finished two laps down on the classification — a pattern worth examining for future race strategy.

MONCELEC (kart #13) claimed 2nd place with 49 laps, just 34.8 seconds behind the winner. Notably, they were the most consistent team of the race (σ = 0.58 s), running only two long stints of 23 and 21 laps respectively at a very controlled median pace of 1:08.275. Their approach rewarded reliability over outright speed.

GOGY 1 (kart #9) rounded out the podium in 3rd with 49 laps, finishing one lap behind the leader. Their pure pace ranked only 6th (median 1:08.803), but a well-timed race structure allowed them to outperform several faster rivals on the road. Their consistency was uneven (σ = 1.4 s), driven largely by a variable opening stint, though the second and third stints were notably tighter.

EBUROTIC (kart #7) and GOGY 3 (kart #10) completed the top six, also on 49 laps. EBUROTIC ran five stints and showed the widest swing in pace across them, including a second stint trending slower at 0.24 s/lap, which weighed on their overall median (1:08.908, 7th in pure pace). FFB 95 1 (kart #8) finished 7th with a significant pace split between stints — one at 1:07.767 median and another at 1:10.648 — which pulled their global median down to 1:09.380 (9th in pure pace).

The most striking outlier of the race was BTP CFA ERMONT (kart #5, 18th on the road): despite holding the 5th-best pure pace of the entire field (with a best lap of 1:06.551), they completed only 46 laps and finished 4 laps down. Meanwhile, DI BENEDETTO (kart #6) experienced the sharpest single-stint degradation of the race, losing 0.36 s/lap during their second stint. TEMPERE CONSTRUCTION 1 (kart #17) finished last with 44 laps, 6 laps adrift of the leader.

Key takeaways for teams: ALPINISTES ACCES 1's victory underlines that combining the fastest median pace with tight consistency is the most effective formula on this circuit. MONCELEC's silver medal shows that extreme regularity and a low-stop-count stint structure can compensate for a modest pure pace. Several teams with genuine top-5 speed (MENUISERIE ST ANTOINE, ALHYSEES 1, BTP CFA ERMONT) did not convert that pace into results — a clear signal that stint timing and pit stop sequencing deserve as much attention as raw lap times at RKC Cormeilles.
