The 50-minute endurance final at SOLOKART (Plessé, International circuit – 1,400 m) brought together 13 teams on 16 September 2026 for a race that tested both pace and consistency across multiple stints.

JOE BAR (kart #14) took victory after 37 laps completed, finishing a lap ahead of LES AG (kart #18), who crossed the line with 44 laps to their name. TEAM 27 (kart #24) rounded out the podium at 2 laps down, while MVP (kart #27) came home in 4th, 3 laps adrift. LES SOIFARDS (kart #6) completed the top six after 41 laps. The fastest lap of the race was set by JOE BAR with a time of 1:00.207.

The race analysis reveals that the result mirrored the pure pace hierarchy almost perfectly at the front. JOE BAR posted the best median pace of the field at 1:01.295 (1st in pure pace ranking) and the highest consistency, with a standard deviation of just 0.87 s. Their opening stint showed clear progression — accelerating by 0.82 s/lap over 5 laps — before settling into a rock-solid second stint of 30 laps at a median of 1:01.201, with a standard deviation of only 0.70 s.

LES AG were the closest challengers in pure pace (median 1:01.361, 2nd in pace ranking), deploying three stints with a combined standard deviation of 1.18 s. Their first stint saw gradual improvement of 0.26 s/lap, while their second and third stints were both classified as stable, the team managing its pace smartly across the race distance.

MVP (3rd in pure pace, median 1:01.440) had the raw speed to challenge higher up the order, but finished 4th. Their three stints were well managed, with gradual acceleration of 0.17 s/lap in the second stint and a stable, consistent third stint.

One of the most striking strategic stories belongs to VISA (kart #23). Ranked only 6th in pure pace (median 1:03.011), they finished 8th overall — a result that nonetheless masks a race of two very different halves. Their opening 13-lap stint was their strongest (median 1:01.508), before a more difficult middle phase. VISA also recorded the steepest degradation of the race on one of their stints (kart #8, slowing by 0.51 s/lap).

At the other end of the strategic spectrum, LES PILOTES DU DIMANCHE (kart #10) stood out as the most consistent team of the entire race, posting a standard deviation of just 0.51 s — yet finished 12th despite ranking 8th in pure pace. Meanwhile, TEAM 27 delivered one of the most disciplined performances in terms of regularity (standard deviation of 0.58 s overall), converting consistent sector times into a well-earned podium finish despite a pace ranking of only 9th.

Key takeaways for teams: JOE BAR's victory confirms that combining the best pure pace with strong consistency is the winning formula on the SOLOKART International layout. TEAM 27's podium shows that extreme regularity can more than compensate for a pace deficit. The contrasting fate of LES PILOTES DU DIMANCHE — most consistent yet 12th overall — illustrates that pure regularity without sufficient raw pace has its limits. Finally, VISA's wide variance between stints highlights the cost of inconsistency across driver changes in endurance racing.
