The 212-minute endurance final at SOLOKART in Plessé (International circuit, 1,400 m) brought together 16 teams on 6 September 2026 for a gruelling test of pace, consistency and pit-stop management. When the chequered flag fell, PHARMA AND CO (kart #44) crossed the line as the clear winner with 165 laps completed, a full lap ahead of NEUNOEIL (161 laps, 2nd) and DELIRIUM RACING (159 laps, 3rd).

NEUNOEIL and DELIRIUM RACING finished 5 and 7 laps down respectively, while CHIR DIG (4th, 157 laps) and ATROSPEED (5th, 157 laps) were separated by only 26.550 seconds at the line after completing the same number of laps. GASTRO CHRONO (6th, 155 laps), KINÉ (7th, 154 laps) and BIP BIP (9th, 154 laps) were close on lap count, with UNION DES SUPER CHAUFFARD in 8th on 151 laps. LES DEGLINGOS (16th, 130 laps) closed out the field 42 laps off the lead. Three teams – LES Q RARES (13 pit stops), JURASSIC and LES DEGLINGOS (15 pit stops each) – required more pit stops than the 11 recorded by the majority of the field.

The fastest lap of the race was set by PHARMA AND CO with a 1:08.430, also the best individual lap of the entire event. NEUNOEIL's best of 1:09.360 and DELIRIUM RACING's 1:09.543 were the next quickest, while PANIC AU 3D / 4C (15th) posted a notable 1:10.113 despite finishing deep in the classification.

The pace analysis confirms the dominance of PHARMA AND CO: the team recorded the best median pace of the race at 1:09.570 per lap, combined with the best consistency figure (σ = 1.15 s) across the field. Their 11 stints were strikingly stable – six of them flagged as fully stable, with only minor pace variations in the others. Stint 10 was their strongest in pure median terms (1:08.791), and they accelerated by 0.32 s/lap in stint 8, showing the team's ability to react and push when needed.

NEUNOEIL and DELIRIUM RACING, ranked 3rd and 4th in pure pace (medians of 1:11.776 and 1:11.899 respectively), converted their speed into 2nd and 3rd place finishes thanks to solid overall management across 11 stints. By contrast, PANIC AU 3D / 4C presented the most striking gap between raw pace (2nd best median pace overall) and final result (15th place), illustrating the decisive weight of reliability and stops in endurance racing. LES Q RARES (5th best median pace, 10th place) and THORAX/ORTHO (6th best median, 11th place) similarly underperformed relative to their pure speed.

KINÉ stood out in the opposite direction: ranked only 12th in pure pace, the team finished 7th, gaining five positions over their speed ranking through efficient management. The most severe pace degradation of the race was recorded by THORAX/ORTHO in their 2nd stint, losing 2.06 s/lap over its duration – a drop that proved very costly over the long haul.

Key takeaways for teams: At SOLOKART Plessé over 212 minutes, raw speed alone does not determine the result. PHARMA AND CO's victory rested on an unbeatable combination of the fastest median pace and the tightest consistency of the field. For the teams that finished below their pace potential, the data points to irregularity (σ above 2.0–3.0 s) and additional pit stops as the primary gap-creators. Managing tyre and kart consistency across all stints – and limiting degradation peaks within each stint – remains the priority for future editions.
