The endurance final at SOLOKART in Plessé (1,400 m International circuit) brought together 21 teams for 169 minutes of racing on 24 October 2026. At the end of a demanding race, BAGUETTE RACING TEAM (kart #72) took the victory with 118 laps completed, finishing a full lap ahead of BLEU MERCURE RACING and two laps ahead of BAWBYLONE.

The top of the order was clear: BAGUETTE RACING TEAM led every performance metric. Their median pace of 1:08.999 was the fastest of the entire field (1st in pure pace), and their consistency was excellent, with a standard deviation of just 1.49 s. Their opening stint set the tone — 14 laps in a median of 1:07.121 and a remarkable standard deviation of 0.23 s, one of the most regular stints of the whole race. The team also set the fastest lap of the race with a 1:06.813, a benchmark no rival could match. With 9 pit stops managed efficiently, BAGUETTE RACING TEAM delivered a dominant all-round performance.

BLEU MERCURE RACING (2nd, 117 laps) was the most consistent team overall, posting the lowest standard deviation in the field at 1.07 s. Their pure pace ranked 3rd (median 1:09.321), and they managed their 9 pit stops with minimal disruption. They slowed slightly in stint 2 (0.19 s/lap), but recovered well and ultimately secured second place comfortably.

BAWBYLONE (3rd, 116 laps) showed solid regularity (σ = 1.22 s) but their final stint saw a notable drop in pace, losing 0.36 s/lap over 12 laps, which may have cost them ground in the closing stages. PITLANE ALLIANCE (4th, 115 laps) was consistent through the middle phase of their race, with a strong final two stints, though their last stint saw a fade of 0.16 s/lap.

One of the most striking stories of the race was that of BLEU MERCURE ESPORT (8th, kart #41): their pure pace ranked 2nd in the field (median 1:09.011), yet they finished 8th. Their last stint — just 5 laps — saw a dramatic loss of pace at 1.07 s/lap, with a standard deviation of 2.26 s, which visibly hurt their final position. BREIZH MOTORSPORT (5th) told the opposite story: ranked only 9th in pure pace but finishing 5th, suggesting an effective strategic approach to pit stops and stint management.

BE SHOP 44 (10th) ran only 7 pit stops against the 9 typical of the leading group, and their 7th in pure pace was not enough to compensate for a brutal final stint that lost 1.39 s/lap over just 5 laps. GOLDOKART (12th) made 11 pit stops — more than most — without gaining a positional advantage. TEAM TEX (18th) completed only 49 laps, a stark contrast to the leaders, suggesting a major interruption to their race.

Key takeaways for teams: This race confirmed that pure speed must be paired with consistency and stint management. BAGUETTE RACING TEAM showed that dominating every metric — pace, regularity, best lap — leaves nothing to chance. The BLEU MERCURE ESPORT case is a clear reminder that late-race pace drops can destroy a strong performance. Teams with fewer pit stops (BE SHOP 44, 7 stops) did not convert that potential time saving into positions, while managing long stints without degradation proved decisive at SOLOKART.
