WEK SERIES 6H · Finale Race⏱ 6h04

The Finale endurance race at South Garda Karting in Lonato del Garda brought together 23 teams on the 1,250-metre circuit for a gruelling 364-minute contest. At the chequered flag, PAGG ASPOCK (kart #4) took victory after 304 laps, edging out PAGG & PASTINA by a razor-thin margin of 0.790 seconds — a dramatic finish that rewarded flawless execution throughout the race.

The top four teams all completed 304 laps and all made exactly 13 pit stops. VENETO KORSE (kart #1) claimed third place, 25.289 seconds behind the winner, with LUCANIA SLM (kart #2) a further fraction back in fourth at 25.587 seconds. PRIME RACING (kart #8) rounded out the top five, also on 13 stops and 302 laps, 36.858 seconds adrift of the leader. SVK RACING and XRACE completed the points-scoring positions in sixth and seventh, each on 303 and 301 laps respectively.

The fastest lap of the race was set by MOSAIKO ABR GIMOTORSPORT (kart #23) with a stunning 1:04.418, the quickest single lap of the entire event despite the team finishing 13th overall. Among race finishers, PRIME RACING posted a 1:04.581 and SVK RACING a 1:04.582 — the two quickest best laps within the top five — while the winner PAGG ASPOCK's best was a 1:04.593.

In terms of pure pace, the race analysis confirms that PAGG ASPOCK held the best median race rhythm at 1:05.248 per lap, with a consistency figure of 0.38 seconds standard deviation across 303 timed laps — making them both the fastest and the most regular team on the day. PAGG & PASTINA mirrored their rivals almost perfectly, posting a median of 1:05.250 and the same consistency rating, which explains why the two teams were separated by less than a second after six hours of racing.

VENETO KORSE (1:05.300 median) and LUCANIA SLM (1:05.309) followed closely in third and fourth on pure rhythm, confirming that finishing positions faithfully reflected actual pace in the leading group. PRIME RACING and SVK RACING held fifth and sixth in both the results and the rhythm ranking. Notably, PACIFIC RACING (10th) delivered a strong strategic performance, finishing five positions higher than their pure-pace ranking (15th on rhythm), demonstrating how efficient pit-stop management can compensate for a slightly slower outright tempo.

Further down the order, MOSAIKO ABR FASTLANE (15th) exhibited the reverse pattern: ranked 11th on pure rhythm at 1:05.247 median but classified 15th, illustrating the cost of additional pit stop time. Notably, teams finishing 11th through 23rd all made 15 pit stops — two more than the top group — a structural difference that contributed significantly to their final positions. HUULIA PINK (kart #10) did not record a classified result.

Key takeaways for teams: At South Garda Karting, the gap between first and second was decided by fractions of a second over 304 laps, confirming that the combination of consistent median pace and a controlled pit-stop count is the decisive factor. Teams with 13 stops dominated the top eight positions outright. Rhythm regularity — not peak lap times — separated the contenders, and PAGG ASPOCK's near-perfect standard deviation of 0.38 s across all 13 stints proved to be the winning formula.
