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

On 31 October 2026, the RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles circuit in Boissy-l'Aillerie hosted a 121-minute endurance race on its 1,200-metre Piste 1, with 19 teams on the grid. The event delivered a closely fought battle at the front, ultimately decided by pace, consistency and flawless pit-stop execution.

RACE FOUNDERS (kart #2) took the chequered flag in dominant fashion, completing 102 laps and finishing a full lap clear of the field. The team set the fastest lap of the entire race — 1:05.931 — and backed it up with the best median race pace (1:06.757) and the strongest consistency figure of the day (standard deviation of just 0.48 s). All six of their stints were rated stable, with no meaningful drop-off at any point in the race. Five pit stops were completed. RACE FOUNDERS' victory is the result of a perfectly executed strategy combining raw speed and unwavering regularity throughout the 121 minutes.

RACE VINTAGE (kart #10) crossed the line in 2nd place, also on 102 laps, but classified one lap down due to the gap accumulated on the road. Their median pace of 1:07.431 placed them 3rd in pure pace rankings, and their best lap of 1:06.258 confirmed genuine speed. Consistency was more variable (σ = 0.88 s), with some stints notably slower than others, yet the team managed five pit stops and held on to the runner-up spot.

RACE METRO (kart #1) secured the final podium position with 101 laps, finishing two laps off the leader. Their median pace of 1:08.036 ranked 5th in pure pace, meaning they extracted a result above what their raw rhythm alone would have suggested.

Just behind, RACE GOLDFINGERS (4th, 101 laps) and RACE OFFICIEL (5th, 101 laps) completed a tight group of teams separated by nothing in terms of lap count. RACE GOLDFINGERS showed a notably high variance in their final stint (σ = 2.21 s), which may have cost them positions in the closing phase.

One of the most striking findings of the pace analysis concerns SANS NOM 1 (kart #14), classified 7th with 100 laps. Their median race pace of 1:07.365 was the 2nd fastest of all 19 teams, yet significant pace losses across stints 2, 3 and 5 — with median times above 1:11 — severely hurt their final tally. A team with that level of raw pace finishing 7th illustrates how consistency over a full race distance is as decisive as outright speed.

In the opposite direction, TINDER (kart #19) finished only 14th despite posting the 4th best pure pace (best lap 1:06.432), a clear sign that their race pace was not sustained over the distance. Meanwhile, RACE LEGENDS (kart #4) were the day's strategic over-achievers: ranked only 12th in pure pace, they brought the car home in 8th place through consistent management of their stints (σ = 0.80 s overall).

At the back of the field, RACETTES PI (18th) posted the most significant pace degradation of the race — losing 0.20 s per lap across their 5th stint — while RACE POIDS LOURDS (19th) finished 18 laps off the lead on 84 laps.

Key takeaways for teams: RACE FOUNDERS' dominant win demonstrates that combining top-tier pace with class-leading consistency (σ = 0.48 s) leaves little room for rivals to respond, even across six stints. The gap between SANS NOM 1's pace ranking (2nd) and finishing position (7th) is a reminder that isolated slow stints in endurance racing are far more costly than a slightly lower overall median. Teams aiming for top-5 results at RKC Cormeilles should target a lap-to-lap standard deviation below 1.0 s as a benchmark for a competitive race.
