The 212-minute endurance final at SOLOKART in Plessé (Internationale circuit, 1,400 m) brought together 16 teams on 6 September 2026 for a demanding race that tested both pace and consistency across a long afternoon of racing.

PHARMA AND CO (kart #44) took a commanding victory, completing 165 laps and crossing the line with a margin of 4 laps over second place. The team posted the fastest lap of the entire race — 1:08.430 — and confirmed their superiority with both the best median pace (1:09.570) and the highest consistency (standard deviation of 1.15 s) of the field. Their 11 pit stops were managed efficiently throughout the race, and their lap-by-lap regularity, particularly in the first six stints (all rated stable with deviations below 1.0 s), was the foundation of their win.

NEUNOEIL (kart #79) secured second place with 161 laps and 11 pit stops, finishing 5 laps behind the winner. Their median pace of 1:11.776 placed them third in pure speed, yet their result reflects solid race management. Their final stint showed a late decline of 0.27 s/lap, but not enough to threaten their position. DELIRIUM RACING (kart #77) rounded out the podium with 159 laps, 7 laps adrift, and a very consistent approach (standard deviation of 1.40 s) that kept them clear of the chasing pack.

Fourth and fifth were separated by just 26.550 seconds at the flag, with CHIR DIG (kart #57, 157 laps) edging ATROSPEED (kart #76, 157 laps) on laps completed. Notably, ATROSPEED ranked 7th in pure pace (median 1:12.472) and CHIR DIG 8th (1:13.039), meaning both teams finished higher than their raw speed would suggest.

The most striking pace-versus-position story belonged to PANIC AU 3D / 4C (kart #63): ranked 2nd in pure pace across the field, they finished only 15th with 133 laps completed. Their speed was real — 11 pit stops and a best lap of 1:10.113 — but their overall lap count tells of time lost elsewhere in the race. KINÉ (kart #43) told the opposite story: ranked only 12th in pure pace (median 1:14.217), they finished 7th through efficient pit stop strategy and consistent stint management.

LES Q RARES (kart #65) also deserve mention: 5th in pure pace (median 1:12.281) but 10th in the final standings, their 13 pit stops — two more than most rivals — proved costly over the course of 212 minutes. THORAX/ORTHO (kart #50) displayed the race's most severe pace drop, losing 2.06 s/lap during their second stint, the steepest degradation recorded across all teams. Despite a solid median pace (6th in pure speed), they finished 11th.

What teams should take away: This final confirmed that raw speed alone is not enough over 212 minutes at SOLOKART. PHARMA AND CO won precisely because they combined the best pure pace with the best regularity and clean stint management. The contrasting fates of PANIC AU 3D / 4C (fast but 15th) and KINÉ (modest pace but 7th) illustrate how lap-count management and pit stop discipline can override outright speed in long-format endurance racing. Limiting late-stint degradation — as illustrated by THORAX/ORTHO's 2.06 s/lap drop — is equally critical to converting potential into results.
