WEK SERIES 6H · Finale Race⏱ 6h04

The Finale endurance race at South Garda Karting in Lonato del Garda took place on 2 August 2026 over 364 minutes on the 1,250-metre circuit. Twenty-three teams took the start, and after 304 gruelling laps the top four crossed the finish line on the same lap, making for an exceptionally tight contest throughout the field.

PAGG ASPOCK (kart #4) took the win, completing 304 laps and beating PAGG & PASTINA (kart #3) by just 0.790 seconds at the flag — a margin that reflects the closeness of their battle over six hours. VENETO KORSE (kart #1) completed the podium 25.289 seconds behind, with LUCANIA SLM (kart #2) a further 0.298 seconds back in fourth. PRIME RACING (kart #8) rounded out the five-lap leaders in fifth, 36.858 seconds off the pace. All five teams shared the same 13 pit-stop strategy.

The analysis confirms that PAGG ASPOCK held the best pure pace of the race, posting a median lap time of 1:05.248 across its 13 stints. Its consistency was equally impressive, with an overall standard deviation of just 0.38 s — the joint lowest in the field alongside PAGG & PASTINA and VENETO KORSE. Every single one of its 13 stints showed a stable trend, reflecting exemplary tyre and driver management across the entire race distance. PAGG & PASTINA matched this consistency (σ = 0.38, median 1:05.250) and finished classified second both on the road and in the pure-pace rankings — a mirror image of the winners.

The strategic highlight of the race came from PACIFIC RACING (kart #11), who finished 10th despite ranking only 15th in pure pace (median 1:06.155). Their 13-stop strategy, managed consistently throughout, allowed them to overperform their natural speed by five positions — the biggest such gain in the field.

Going the other way, MOSAIKO ABR FASTLANE (kart #24) ranked 11th in pure pace yet finished 15th, suggesting that pit-stop timing or traffic cost them positions their speed warranted. CEBI MOTORSPORT (kart #7) displayed the highest overall variability (σ = 0.60, 12th in pure pace), which contributed to their 9th-place finish despite a competitive best lap of 1:04.730.

The fastest lap of the race was set by MOSAIKO ABR GIMOTORSPORT (kart #23) with a time of 1:04.418 — the only team to dip below 1:04.5 all afternoon. Despite this outright speed, MOSAIKO ABR GIMOTORSPORT finished 13th, having run 15 pit stops against the 13 of the front-runners.

What teams should take away: at South Garda Karting over a 364-minute distance, the race was decided not by single-lap pace but by the combination of best pure rhythm and flawless consistency. PAGG ASPOCK led both charts simultaneously — an alignment that left no margin for rivals to exploit. The gap between 1st and 4th in pure pace was only 0.061 s/lap, underlining that pit-stop execution and stint-level regularity were the true differentiators. Teams with additional stops (15 vs 13) found themselves outside the top ten regardless of their pace, confirming that stop strategy carries decisive weight on this circuit at this duration.
