On 1 November 2026, the karting track at SARL MK Circuit in Scientrier hosted a 121-minute endurance race that brought together 15 teams for a demanding battle decided as much by strategy as by outright pace.

NO LIMIT (kart #28) took the victory, completing 112 laps and crossing the line ahead of ALNA RACING TEAM by 27.760 seconds. MARNI TEAM completed the podium, a further 18.589 seconds back. The top six were all separated by less than a minute and all recorded exactly 112 laps, underlining how tightly contested the race was throughout.

From a pure-pace standpoint, NO LIMIT was the class of the field. Their median race pace of 1:00.072 ranked first among all 15 teams, and their overall consistency — a standard deviation of just 0.55 seconds — confirmed a composed, controlled performance. Their longest stint (relay 6, 41 laps) was their most efficient, posting a median of 1:00.060 with a very low spread of 0.33 s, and it is in that final stint that they set their best lap of 59.619.

The most striking story of the race belongs to ASV RACING (kart #15). Finishing 10th on the road, they posted the 2nd best median pace of the entire field (1:00.075) and the best consistency of all 15 teams (standard deviation of 0.50 s). They also set the fastest lap of the race — 59.529 — in their very first relay. Running only 4 stints compared to the 5 of their rivals, their pit-stop strategy ultimately cost them positions on the overall standings, making them the clearest example of a team whose result did not reflect their speed.

ALNA RACING TEAM (kart #21) secured second place with a consistent display (median 1:00.357, regularity 0.57 s), though their pure-pace ranking of 4th suggests the result is fully deserved rather than a strategy bonus. MARNI TEAM (kart #20), conversely, ranked only 9th in pure pace (median 1:00.540) but finished 3rd — the clearest example of a team that made its pit strategy work to extract maximum result from available speed.

DYLAGRO (kart #18) finished 7th having completed the race on just 4 pit stops — one fewer than most rivals. Their pure pace ranked 3rd (median 1:00.352), but two stints at rhythms above 1:02 pulled their overall regularity figure (1.16 s) well above the field average, ultimately explaining the gap to the leading positions.

SIMCA (kart #14) took 6th with a median pace of 1:00.382 (5th in the field) and the most balanced stint-by-stint profile of the top six — six relays all clustered between 1:00.260 and 1:00.647, with no outlier.

Key takeaways for teams: Raw speed alone does not win endurance races at MK Circuit. NO LIMIT demonstrated that the combination of the best median pace and solid regularity is the winning formula. ASV RACING's case shows how a reduced number of pit stops can neutralise exceptional pace on the timing sheet. MARNI TEAM proved that a well-managed strategy can offset a pace deficit of several tenths per lap. For future editions, teams should note that consistency — measured in standard deviation — proved at least as decisive as outright lap time.
