6 HEURES RKC · COURSE Race

Twenty-eight teams lined up on the 1,200-metre Piste 1 of RKC Racing Kart de Cormeilles in Boissy-l'Aillerie on 14 November 2026 for what proved to be a tightly contested endurance race. At the flag, only 21 laps separated the winner from the last-placed finisher, underlining the overall competitiveness of the field.

PFV (kart #18) took the overall victory with 307 laps completed, finishing a full lap clear of the chasing pair in terms of the race classification. Their margin over second-placed LMA Racing Competition (kart #12) stood at 49.735 seconds, with LMA Racing Sport (kart #17) a further 6.1 seconds back in third — both also on 307 laps. All three podium finishers made 8 pit stops. The best lap of the entire race was set by PFV, clocking 1:05.800.

From a pure-pace perspective, the final classification mirrored the speed order exactly across the top five. PFV led on median race pace at 1:06.708 (best pace in the field), ahead of LMA Racing Competition (1:06.814) and LMA Racing Sport (1:06.900). Their consistency matched their speed: LMA Racing Sport posted the lowest standard deviation of the analysed teams at 0.29 s, making them the most regular outfit of the race, while PFV and LMA Racing Competition both showed a standard deviation of 0.35 s. All nine stints recorded by PFV carried a stable tendency, with their final stint delivering a median of 1:06.071 — their sharpest of the race.

Masterclass Racing (kart #2) finished 4th, two laps down, but held the 4th-best median pace (1:06.914) and recorded the second-fastest individual lap of the analysed group at 1:06.110. Master Team 1 (kart #24) completed 306 laps to claim 5th, one lap behind the leaders, with a median pace of 1:07.023.

Further down the order, two teams stand out for contrasting reasons. ASTC (kart #4) finished 16th despite ranking only 23rd on pure pace — a performance built on strategic efficiency with 8 pit stops where many midfield rivals made 10. Conversely, JML Racing (kart #19) showed the 15th-best median pace in the field yet ended up 22nd, with 10 pit stops contributing to their deficit. North Racing Team Pro (kart #11) finished 10th but held the 9th-best pace (1:07.285), narrowly ahead of MG Racing (kart #14) which ranked 9th in the classification but only 10th on pace.

At the bottom of the classification, FF Kart 1 (kart #10) suffered the most marked pace decline of the race, their lap times slowing by 0.16 s per lap during their eighth stint. Willkie Racing (kart #9) and FF Kart 2 (kart #6) both finished on 286 laps — 20 and 21 laps off the winner respectively — with Willkie Racing the only team to make 11 pit stops.

Key takeaways for teams: At Cormeilles on 14 November 2026, the race was decided by pace purity and pit-stop count in equal measure. The top three held both the fastest median rhythms and identical 8-stop strategies. The gap between 8 and 10 pit stops proved decisive in the midfield: teams such as ASTC gained multiple positions through stop count alone. Consistency over the race distance — as demonstrated by LMA Racing Sport's 0.29 s standard deviation — was the clearest differentiator among teams separated by fewer than 10 laps.
