Endurance 2H30 · Finale Race⏱ 2h01

Twenty-three teams lined up for the 2-hour endurance final on the International circuit (1,400 m) at SOLOKART in Plessé on 6 November 2026. The race proved highly competitive throughout the field, with the top five separated by just three laps at the flag.

TEAM RACING KR (kart #65) claimed a dominant victory, completing 97 laps and finishing a full lap clear of the field. Their margin at the flag was classified as "Tour 98", confirming they were the only team to reach that landmark. With the fastest race lap of 1:06.441 — also the best lap of the entire event — and the strongest median pace across their eight stints (1:07.391), they led on every performance indicator. Their consistency was equally impressive: a race-long standard deviation of just 0.95 s made them the most regular team in the field. Stint after stint, the pace remained controlled and stable, never showing meaningful degradation.

LA ROULETTE RUSSE (#49) secured second place with 95 laps, two laps behind the winner. Their median pace (1:08.845) ranked them 4th on pure speed, meaning their final position reflects solid strategic execution over raw lap time. GSC (#72) completed the podium, also on 95 laps but 19.723 seconds behind LA ROULETTE RUSSE. Interestingly, GSC posted the 2nd best pure pace in the field (median 1:08.772), yet inconsistency between stints — with several relays showing degradation of up to 1.12 s/lap in the closing stages — prevented them from challenging higher. LES TOURISTES (#50) and ATBZ RACING (#53) rounded out a tight top five, both on 95 laps, separated by 56.694 s and classified 4th and 5th respectively. All top five teams completed the race with 7 pit stops each.

Further down the order, TM MOTORSPORT (#61) produced one of the more notable strategic performances: 6th at the flag on 93 laps, despite ranking only 14th on pure median pace (1:09.995). Their five stints were run with remarkable stability, maximising lap count without the pace to match the leading group outright. At the other end of the spectrum, ROMAIN ET PABLO (#47) recorded the 3rd best pure pace in the field yet finished only 21st — a significant gap between raw speed and classified result. MAZETSPIN (#51) was the only team in the top ten to make 8 pit stops, one more than the dominant strategy; they finished 7th on 93 laps with a median pace of 1:09.462.

The best lap of the race was set by TEAM RACING KR at 1:06.441. At the back of the classification, SINGE RACING (#70) completed 82 laps in 23rd place, 15 laps off the lead, and recorded the slowest best lap in the field at 1:10.108.

Key takeaways for teams: TEAM RACING KR's victory was built on a rare combination of the best pure pace, the highest consistency, and controlled stint management — no single stint showed notable degradation. GSC's example illustrates the cost of irregular relay performance: 2nd in pure speed, 3rd at the flag. TM MOTORSPORT demonstrated that consistent, stable stints can compensate for a lack of outright pace. The dominant pit strategy across the top of the field was 7 stops in 2 hours, and teams deviating from this — whether with more (MAZETSPIN, ROCKET KART) or fewer stints — generally found themselves at a disadvantage on lap count.
