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

The 62-minute endurance race on the 1,200-metre Piste 1 of RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie brought together 20 teams on 25 September 2026 for a demanding and closely fought contest. At the chequered flag, EPG (kart #8) claimed victory after 49 laps, finishing just 17.657 seconds ahead of ALPINISTES ACCÈS 2 (kart #4), with AIRCLIMO 2 (kart #2) completing the podium at 24.307 seconds. Fourth-placed MJB (kart #13) and fifth-placed AGOCLIM (kart #1) rounded out the top five, both also on 49 laps. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by AGOCLIM in 1:06.768.

From positions 6 to 8, LOXAM, SOLUTIONS TECHNIQUES and SADEQ ELECTRICITÉ 1 crossed the line having completed 49 and 48 laps respectively. TEMPERE CONSTRUCTION 2, SALV'BATI, DTP2I, GOGY 2 and TERRALIS 2 all finished on 47 laps to occupy positions 9 to 13. Three teams — BTP BANQUE, ALHYSÉES 2 and GREEN WAY DEMOLITION — completed 46 laps, while CHILO, FFB 95 2, VANOIA RÉNOVATION 1 and PUM closed out the field.

EPG's dominance was no coincidence. The winning team posted the best median pace of the field at 1:08.801 per lap and the highest consistency rating with a standard deviation of just 0.81 seconds — the tightest on the grid. Their four stints were all classified as stable, with their opening stint of 14 laps setting the tone (median 1:08.462, σ 0.51 s) and their fourth stint delivering their second-best median of the race (1:08.184, σ 0.45 s). EPG held the best pure pace and the best regularity simultaneously, a combination that left little room for rivals.

MJB (kart #13) deserve a particular mention: ranked 2nd in pure pace with a median of 1:08.877, they nevertheless finished 4th. Their race featured a notably shorter second stint (6 laps at 1:10.645 median), which contrasted with an outstanding third stint of 18 laps at 1:08.586 — their longest and most productive segment.

AGOCLIM, authors of the fastest lap of the race (1:06.768), ranked only 5th in pure pace overall (median 1:09.539) but showed a clear positive trajectory: their fourth and fifth stints averaged 1:08.144 and 1:07.354 respectively, both classified as stable and increasingly rapid. Their overall consistency suffered (σ 2.02 s), a reflection of varied performances across their five stints.

The most notable strategic outlier was SALV'BATI (kart #16), who finished 10th despite ranking only 16th in pure pace (median 1:11.981) — the largest positive gap between finishing position and pace ranking on the grid. Conversely, TERRALIS 2 held the 10th-best pure pace yet crossed the line 13th, suggesting that pace alone was not sufficient to convert into a strong result.

Key takeaways for teams: EPG's victory underlines that combining the best median pace with the best consistency is the most reliable path to the top step at Cormeilles. MJB and ALPINISTES ACCÈS 2 demonstrated that a strong pace ranking can be converted into a podium finish only when stint length and regularity are kept under control. AGOCLIM's late-race acceleration shows the value of building into a race, but their irregular first half cost them a potential higher finish. LOXAM's strategy of completing only three pit stops helped them hold 6th despite a pure-pace ranking of 9th, illustrating how stop frequency can be a meaningful lever on this circuit.
