The Final endurance race at Slovak Karting Center in Orechová Potôň, held on 26 September 2026 on the 1,172-metre V1 layout, brought together 70 teams for a 16-minute showdown that delivered a tightly contested battle at the front of the field.

DYMOVEE RACING (kart #10) crossed the line first with 187 laps completed, claiming victory after three pit stops. RED RACING (kart #42) finished second on the same lap count, 18.223 seconds adrift, also on three stops. MOLD RACING (kart #37) completed the podium, a further 14.498 seconds back at 32.721 seconds from the winner — equally on 187 laps and three stops. Fourth went to EIRIZ SPORT (kart #50), just 0.456 seconds behind MOLD RACING, making the final four separated by under 33.2 seconds across 187 laps.

TALENT FACTORY BY GOODWILL KARTING (kart #16) took fifth with 186 laps on four stops, ahead of KANDILAROV, COOL BEAR RACING, TRI-V INTERNATIONAL, AURUM RACING TEAM, and YOUNG & WILD FREE — all on 186 laps — to round out the top ten.

The fastest lap of the race was set by DYMOVEE RACING with a time of 1:09.544, the sharpest single lap across all 70 entries.

Turning to the pace analysis, the picture beneath the results sheet reveals some striking contrasts. RED RACING posted the best pure race pace of any team in the analysis, with a median lap time of 1:10.077 (ranked 1st in pure pace) — yet crossed the line in second place. Their consistency was exemplary, with a standard deviation of just 0.20 seconds, matching KANDILAROV for the tightest regularity in the top ten.

FLAT OUT RACING (12th overall) recorded the 2nd best pure pace at a median of 1:10.220, another example of a team whose raw speed was not fully reflected in their final position. Similarly, ACS NA RUKAH (11th overall) showed the 7th best pace with a remarkable standard deviation of only 0.12 seconds — the tightest regularity in the entire analysed field.

On the other end of the spectrum, TALENT FACTORY BY GOODWILL KARTING stands out as the race's clearest strategic overperformer: ranked only 40th in pure pace with a median of 1:11.128, the team finished 5th overall — a remarkable 35-position gain over their pace ranking. PF RACING (59th overall) offers the inverse story, posting the 26th best pace in the field but finishing deep in the standings — the fastest team without a result to match their potential on this occasion.

Regarding tyre degradation, UNDERCUT RACING registered the steepest pace fade of the analysed runners, dropping 0.43 seconds per lap over the course of their first timed stint.

Key takeaways for teams: Pure pace alone did not decide this race. RED RACING's superior median lap time was not enough to overhaul DYMOVEE RACING, underlining the importance of pit stop execution and track position. TALENT FACTORY's result proves that consistent strategy management can outweigh raw speed in a 16-minute sprint-endurance format. Regularity — as demonstrated by ACS NA RUKAH's 0.12 s standard deviation — remains a decisive asset, but must be paired with effective pit work to convert pace into positions.
