The Finale of the endurance race at SOLOKART in Plessé (International circuit, 1,400 m) took place on 10 July 2026, with 15 teams on the grid for a 37-minute showdown. It was a tactical battle where consistency ultimately proved more decisive than outright pace.

EDDY + GWEN (kart #52) took the victory after 30 laps, finishing a lap ahead of BIGMAT (kart #73), who completed 31 laps at 39.349 seconds. ARNAUD + GERMAIN (kart #68) rounded out the podium in third, 47.309 seconds back on 29 laps. INEA EXPERTISE (kart #72) crossed the line fourth at 1:06.780 seconds, while MBC + MOURAUD (kart #78) completed the top five, one lap down. All five top finishers made the same 5 pit stops across the race.

The fastest lap of the entire race was set by CPIM + OUEST NRJ (kart #60) with a stunning 1:09.182 — yet that team finished only seventh.

In terms of pure pace, the analysis reveals a striking contrast between race results and underlying performance. CPIM + OUEST NRJ posted the best median race pace of the field at 1:10.501 (1st in pure pace) but finished 7th, undone by the highest inconsistency on track (standard deviation: 2.4 s) and a sixth pit stop. Their race was marked by drastically swinging stints: a third stint losing 1.07 s/lap on average, immediately followed by a fourth that gained back 1.18 s/lap — a volatility that made positions impossible to consolidate.

MBC + MOURAUD showed the 2nd best median pace (1:11.649) and a solid overall regularity (σ = 1.0 s), but were unable to convert that into a higher finish, ending fifth. PICARD + MOISAN (3rd in pure pace, 1:11.796) similarly finished 6th despite a very competitive median rhythm.

The winners, EDDY + GWEN, were only 5th in pure pace (median: 1:11.903) but were the most consistent team on the circuit, with the lowest standard deviation of all: just 0.6 seconds. Their two recorded stints were both rated stable, with no significant degradation — a textbook execution of endurance discipline.

ARNAUD + GERMAIN offer the race's most striking strategic story: ranked only 9th in pure pace (median: 1:13.025, σ = 2.13 s), they nevertheless finished 3rd. Conversely, BATISOY (kart #45) held the 8th best pure pace in the field yet classified last in 15th, four laps down — a stark reminder that raw speed counts for nothing without clean, consistent execution.

JPB (kart #44) showed the 6th best median pace (1:11.943) but finished 12th, weighed down by the field's highest lap-time inconsistency (σ = 3.48 s over their opening 18-lap stint).

Key takeaways for teams: at SOLOKART Plessé, the 10 July 2026 Finale confirmed that lap-time consistency and pit-stop discipline outweigh raw speed over 37 minutes. Managing stint degradation and limiting extra stops are the real differentiators — as illustrated by the winner's σ of 0.6 s and the 7th-place finish of the fastest team on track.
