The 50-minute endurance final at SOLOKART in Plessé (International circuit, 1,400 m) brought together 13 teams on 16 September 2026 for a demanding race in which strategy, consistency and outright pace all played their part from the first lap to the last.

JOE BAR (kart #14) took the overall victory, completing 37 laps and lapping the field to finish a full lap clear of second place. Their winning margin — classified as one lap over LES AG (#18, 44 laps) — reflects the nature of endurance scoring, where lap count is decisive. JOE BAR also set the fastest lap of the entire race, a 1:00.207 recorded during their second stint. With the best median pace of the field (1:01.295, ranked 1st in pure pace) and remarkable consistency (standard deviation of just 0.87 s), their dominance was built on speed and regularity in equal measure. Their first stint saw a natural progression, gaining 0.82 s/lap as the driver found their rhythm, before the second long stint of 30 laps settled into an exemplary stable pace.

LES AG (#18) crossed the line in second place with 44 laps completed, posting the second-best median pace of the field (1:01.361) across three stints. Their opening stint showed a progressive 0.26 s/lap improvement before settling into two stable, consistent runs. TEAM 27 (#24) rounded out the podium in third with 43 laps, relying on an outstanding level of consistency — a standard deviation of just 0.58 s across four relays — rather than raw pace (9th in pure rhythm). Their strategy of managing lap times with surgical precision proved highly effective.

MVP (#27) finished fourth with 42 laps, producing the 3rd-best median pace (1:01.440) but unable to convert that speed into a higher position. LA DEBROUILLE (#16) took fifth with only 7 laps to their name on that kart, while LES SOIFARDS (#6) claimed sixth with 41 laps, their later stints showing signs of increasing lap time as the race progressed.

Further down the order, TEAM JEAN JEAN (#21) finished seventh with 40 laps on just 2 pit stops, a notably different strategy to most of the field. VISA (#23) placed eighth with 37 laps; the data highlights a significant contrast between their rapid opening stint (median 1:01.508) and a slower second relay, illustrating the inconsistency that cost them positions. LES HIMIS BITES (#4) and LES SOULOS (#2) completed the top ten, with 40 and 39 laps respectively.

TEAM RF (#11) finished 11th (38 laps), LES PILOTES DU DIMANCHE (#10) 12th (37 laps), and LES ALCOOLYTES (#19) 13th and last with 28 laps and 4 pit stops — the most of any team in the race.

Key takeaways for teams: JOE BAR demonstrated that combining the best pure pace with high consistency (σ = 0.87 s) and a well-managed three-stop strategy is the formula for victory at SOLOKART. TEAM 27's podium shows that exceptional regularity (σ = 0.58 s) can compensate for a slower median pace. Conversely, VISA's wide lap time variation (σ = 2.30 s) and a degrading first stint limited their result despite flashes of front-running pace. LES PILOTES DU DIMANCHE, the most consistent team in the field (σ = 0.51 s) yet classified 12th, illustrate that regularity alone cannot overcome a lack of outright speed.
