The SOLOKART circuit in Plessé, on its 1,400-metre International layout, hosted a 122-minute endurance final on 20 September 2026, bringing together no fewer than 36 teams. The race delivered a dense and competitive result sheet, with all teams completing their 11 pit stops — except LES KARTMAN (12 stops) and SAB OUEST (14 stops).

BD RACING TEAM (kart #68) claimed the overall victory with 88 laps completed, edging out JLRT COMPETITION (kart #65) by 48.806 seconds — the two teams being separated by the same lap count. BD RACING TEAM also set the fastest lap of the race, a 1:07.914, the benchmark no other team could match. Third place went to LE DUO DE CHOC (kart #59, 90 laps), 56.957 seconds behind second, while BRR RACING (kart #78, 91 laps) and NISSAN (kart #55, 89 laps) rounded out the top five.

The pace analysis reveals a fascinating gap between outright speed and final classification. JLRT COMPETITION produced the best pure pace of the entire field, with a median race rhythm of 1:09.132 — the fastest of all 36 teams — yet had to settle for second place. Their consistency was also outstanding, with an overall standard deviation of 0.82 s. Their six stints were predominantly stable, with only a slight slowdown of 0.53 s/lap in stint 3, quickly corrected thereafter.

BD RACING TEAM, the winners, ranked only 4th in pure pace (median 1:09.697) but delivered a remarkable final stint of 21 laps at a median of 1:09.598 — their most consistent of the day (σ = 0.33 s) — which proved decisive in holding off JLRT COMPETITION. BELLGAS (kart #12, 6th) posted the 2nd best pure pace (median 1:09.451) but showed the highest variability among the top eight (σ = 1.14 s), ultimately losing ground to more consistent rivals. BRR RACING (3rd best pure pace, median 1:09.532, σ = 0.67 s) was the most consistent of the front-runners and finished 4th overall.

PASTA BOX (kart #22, 7th) was the most consistent team in the entire field with a standard deviation of just 0.55 s across nine stable stints — an exemplary regularity performance. Conversely, JLCO CONSEIL (10th) experienced the sharpest single-stint degradation: their 7th stint saw pace drop by 1.10 s/lap, the steepest deterioration recorded across all teams.

Two teams stand out for contrasting strategic outcomes. PEAK TEAM (kart #70, 27th overall) ranked 13th in pure pace, suggesting the kart's potential was not converted into a competitive finishing position. In contrast, TEAM COUBERTIN (kart #42, 18th overall) ranked only 32nd in pure pace, indicating a strategic approach that maximised their result relative to their outright speed.

Key takeaways for teams: At SOLOKART Plessé, pure pace alone does not decide the outcome of a 122-minute race. BD RACING TEAM's victory demonstrates that sustained consistency over a long final stint can overcome a deficit in raw rhythm. Teams with high variability (σ above 1.1 s) tend to lose positions to more regular competitors. Managing pace degradation within stints — particularly avoiding late-stint slowdowns — proved essential across all classification zones.
