Evénement · Finale Race⏱ 26 min

The SOLOKART circuit in Plessé hosted its endurance Final on 20 September 2026, bringing together 36 teams for a hard-fought 26-minute race on the 1,400-metre International layout. From the front of the grid to the back, the competition delivered a tightly contested classification and several noteworthy strategic battles.

JLRT COMPETITION (kart #65) took the overall victory with 22 laps completed, crossing the line a lap clear of any team that could have threatened on distance. BD RACING TEAM (kart #68) finished second, also on 22 laps but 0.092 seconds adrift — a margin that underlines just how little separated the top two at the flag. Third place went to LE DUO DE CHOC (kart #59) on 21 laps, 25.093 seconds behind the runner-up.

The best lap of the entire race was set by BD RACING TEAM with a 1:07.914, the quickest single lap of the afternoon. JLRT COMPETITION's best effort of 1:07.966 was just 0.052 s slower, reflecting the extreme closeness of the two leading teams all race long.

Analysis reveals that BD RACING TEAM also held the best pure race pace, posting a median lap time of 1:08.562 — the fastest in the field — with a consistency standard deviation of just 1.60 s, their single stint characterised as stable throughout. Despite this, it was JLRT COMPETITION that converted the win, recording a median of 1:08.668 (2nd best pace, also stable). The gap between pace and result at the very front is razor-thin and speaks to the quality of both teams.

BELLGAS (4th, kart #12) showed the 3rd best race rhythm at 1:08.851, making them one of the pace setters of the race despite finishing a lap down. LES SATANAS (10th) delivered the 5th best pure pace at 1:09.420 with strong consistency (σ = 1.62 s), suggesting their final position did not fully reflect their raw speed. Conversely, LES GENDARMES DE ST TROPEZ (26th at the flag) posted the 9th best pace of the race — a significant gap between speed and result that the data highlights without offering further explanation.

Among the regularity standouts, PEAK TEAM (7th, kart #70) was the most consistent team in the race, with an overall standard deviation of just 1.33 s across their stints. On the strategy side, ON EST VENU POUR LE BUFFET (15th at the finish) ranked just 29th on pure pace, making their result a fine example of efficient race management.

Key takeaways for teams: At SOLOKART Plessé, pace alone does not guarantee the result — BD RACING TEAM had the best rhythm and the fastest lap yet had to settle for second. JLRT COMPETITION's win confirms that combining near-identical pace with flawless execution across a single stint pays off. The case of LES SATANAS shows that a strong median pace (5th) can be undermined by laps lost elsewhere, while ON EST VENU POUR LE BUFFET demonstrates the real value of clean, well-managed driving on a short-duration endurance format. Teams targeting the SOLOKART podium should prioritise minimising time loss on track and keeping their median pace in the 1:08–1:09 range.
