4 - 1200M GP EQUIPE RACING · COURSE ENDURANCE Race

Twenty-seven teams lined up for the endurance race at RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie on the 1,200-metre Piste 1, on 17 October 2026. The event brought together a highly competitive field spread across a tight window of lap times, making pace, consistency and pit-stop execution the key battlegrounds throughout the race.

STS 1 (kart #14) took the overall victory, completing 101 laps and finishing ahead of SES CHARRETTE RACING 1 (kart #26, 102 laps) by 1:02.057. The gap on the road is deceptive: SES CHARRETTE RACING 1 actually covered one more lap than the winner, but STS 1 was classified first on the results sheet with a 1:02.057 deficit separating the two at the flag. ADS-ELC-1 (kart #5, 100 laps) completed the podium, one lap down on the leader.

Fourth place went to SED ERAGNY 2 (kart #8, 101 laps), ahead of SNA_LH1 (kart #16, 101 laps) in fifth and STS 2 (kart #13, 101 laps) in sixth. All 27 teams made exactly 5 pit stops during the race.

The fastest lap of the race was set by STS 2 (kart #13) in 1:06.372, the quickest single lap recorded across the entire field.

From an analytical standpoint, STS 1 demonstrated the strongest pure pace of the day, posting the best median race rhythm at 1:07.291 — consistent with their overall victory. Their five stints were all rated stable, with a remarkable regularity of just 0.56 s standard deviation, reflecting sustained control across the full race distance.

SED ERAGNY 2 (4th) showed the second-best pure pace with a median of 1:07.599, while STS 2 (6th) ranked third in pure pace at 1:07.876 — yet their overall regularity figure of 1.23 s was the weakest among the top teams, with noticeable pace swings between stints (ranging from a median of 1:07.061 in their final stint to 1:09.897 in their third). That inconsistency across stints cost them dearly in the final standings.

SES CHARRETTE RACING 1, classified second, ranked only 6th in pure rhythm at 1:08.039, making theirs a result built on effective race management rather than outright speed. Their six stints were all stable and their regularity of 0.59 s was among the best in the field.

A notable underperformance came from SEATS PLAISIR ON TRACK (SPOT) (kart #11), who ranked 9th in pure pace yet finished only 18th overall — a significant gap that points to costly time lost elsewhere in the race. Conversely, LES 3 PETITS COCHONS (kart #6, 11th) managed to finish above their pure pace ranking of 17th, gaining positions through race management.

Key takeaways for teams: At Cormeilles, pure speed alone does not guarantee a strong result. STS 1's victory was built on the best median pace combined with excellent regularity across all five stints. STS 2's example shows that even top-three pace can be neutralised by inconsistency between stints. The gap between SPOT's raw speed (9th) and their finishing position (18th) is a reminder that clean, efficient race execution is equally decisive on this 1,200-metre circuit.
