25h of Slovakia · Final Race

The Final endurance race at Slovak Karting Center in Orechová Potôň took place on September 26, 2026, bringing together an impressive field of 70 teams on the 1,172-metre V1 circuit. The event delivered an intense battle across the top of the standings, with the lead group separated by fewer than 32 seconds after 146 laps of racing.

DYMOVEE RACING (kart #10) took the victory, completing 146 laps and finishing 9.095 seconds ahead of JUSTINIRT (kart #24). TALENT FACTORY BY GOODWILL KARTING (kart #16) completed the podium, 23.628 seconds off the lead. MOLD RACING (kart #37) and RED RACING (kart #42) rounded out the top five. Positions 6 through 14 — COOL BEAR RACING, KANDILAROV, EIRIZ SPORT, YOUNG & WILD FREE, AURUM RACING TEAM, RED RACING SPIRIT, TRI-V INTERNATIONAL, S8 RACE BY FISO and NO LIFT RACING — all finished on the same lead lap, illustrating just how tight the competition was throughout the field. The fastest lap of the entire race was set by DYMOVEE RACING with a time of 1:09.544.

Looking beyond the finishing order, the pure pace analysis reveals some striking contrasts. PF RACING (kart #22, 46th place) posted the 2nd best median pace of the entire field (1:09.618 best lap, place_au_rythme_pur: 2), yet crossed the line 46th — a significant gap between raw speed and final result. Conversely, EIRIZ PRO (kart #2, 25th place) recorded the best pure median race rhythm of all 70 starters at 1:10.050, despite finishing 25th, underscoring how much more than outright pace determines final positions in endurance racing.

On the strategy front, ACUITY RACING (kart #6) stands out as the event's most notable strategic performer: ranked only 56th by pure pace, the team finished 33rd — a gain of 23 positions attributable entirely to racecraft and pit stop management, both teams completing their race on 2 pit stops.

Among the frontrunners, TALENT FACTORY BY GOODWILL KARTING was the most consistent team of the race, posting the lowest lap time standard deviation of any squad in the analysed group (σ = 0.32 s). Their three stints were all stable, with median lap times of 1:10.150, 1:10.430 and 1:10.360 — a remarkably even spread across the full race distance.

AURUM RACING TEAM (4th best pure pace, 10th on the road) and RED RACING SPIRIT (6th best pure pace, 11th) both demonstrated that raw speed alone was not enough to crack the top five: their pace warranted higher positions, but the final standings were decided elsewhere. DYMOVEE RACING, winner on the road, ranked only 5th by pure median pace (1:10.275), confirming that a winning strategy combined with a dominant opening stint — relay 1 median: 1:09.781, σ = 0.31 s — made the decisive difference.

Key takeaways for teams: At Slovak Karting Center, pace alone does not win endurance races. The top finishers combined controlled, consistent stints with efficient 2-stop strategies. Teams with high pure pace but low finishing positions — PF RACING and EIRIZ PRO being the prime examples — will need to address execution and pit stop efficiency. The standard set by TALENT FACTORY BY GOODWILL KARTING on consistency (σ = 0.32 s) is a clear benchmark for any team aiming to convert pace into podium results.
