CEA · Finale Race⏱ 1h01

Twenty-seven teams lined up on the 920-metre Karting PP circuit at Top Gun Évasion, Biganos, for a 61-minute endurance final on 17 September 2026. The race produced a tight battle across the top five, all of whom completed 49 laps, while the rest of the field was spread over ten laps.

SEPERMIS RETIRÉ (kart 28) took the victory, crossing the line one lap clear of any classification challenge and holding off BEAM ME UP by 17.711 seconds. ATOMIC DRIVERS completed the podium a further 42.227 seconds back, with TEAM SOLID'R (4th, +45.879 s) and LES PÉPÉS MOBILES (5th, +59.676 s) rounding out a five-team group that all finished on 49 laps. VEGAMISSILE TEAM ended 6th, one lap down, while SUPER PILOTES VÉLOCES ET ENDURANTS, TOTALY SPIE and LES ROUILLÉS filled positions 7 through 9. The fastest lap of the entire race — 1:04.309 — was set by the winning kart 28, SEPERMIS RETIRÉ. All classified teams completed three pit stops, except LOS BOMBEROS (16th) and LES KARTS FANTASTIQUES (25th), who each made four passages through the pits.

The pace analysis reveals a dominant performance from SEPERMIS RETIRÉ: their median race pace of 1:05.652 was the best of the field, underpinning both their victory and their fastest lap. Their four stints were all marked as stable, with a noticeable variance in median pace between stints — the third stint showed a slower median (1:07.356) while the opening and final stints were clearly their quickest.

Behind the winner, BEAM ME UP stood out as the most consistent team of the race: with an overall standard deviation of just 0.86 seconds, they produced the most regular lap times across the field and backed it with the 2nd-best median pace (1:06.397). Their final stint of 14 laps, run at a median of 1:05.856, was a strong closing effort.

TEAM SOLID'R recorded the 3rd-best median pace overall (1:06.481) but their second stint — with a median of 1:09.965 and a drift of 0.15 s/lap — cost them regularity, reflected in the highest standard deviation among the top five (1.67 s). Despite that, their closing stint at 1:05.985 median kept them in 4th. LES PÉPÉS MOBILES held 5th with a median of 1:07.067 (7th-best pace), delivering four very consistent stints across the race.

One of the notable gaps between pace and position involved FAST BEAMERS (12th): their median race pace of 1:07.094 ranked 8th, yet they finished outside the top ten. Similarly, SPIDER COCHONS (11th) had the 22nd-best median pace but benefited from strategy to finish ahead of teams that were faster in pure pace terms. At the other end of the spectrum, LES KARTS FANTASTIQUES (25th) showed the 11th-best pace in the field — a strong raw speed that did not translate into a competitive finishing position. The sharpest pace drop recorded in a single stint belonged to LES ROUILLÉS, whose second stint saw their lap times drift by 0.31 s/lap.

Key takeaways for teams: At the Bassin d'Arcachon circuit, pure pace consistency across all stints proved decisive — SEPERMIS RETIRÉ combined the best overall median pace with stable relays throughout. The gap between raw speed and final classification (FAST BEAMERS, LES KARTS FANTASTIQUES) illustrates that pace alone is not enough: managing stint degradation and pit-stop timing are equally critical over 61 minutes.
