Endurance Racing

Endurance Racing is a motorsport format where teams compete over extended periods, typically ranging from 3 to 24 hours, testing both vehicle durability and driver stamina.

Unlike sprint races focused on pure speed, endurance events require teams of drivers to share a single car, taking turns in "stints" while managing fuel, tires, and mechanical reliability. Success depends on balancing speed with consistency and minimizing time spent in pit stops for driver changes, refueling, and repairs.

Famous endurance races include the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Daytona, and 12 Hours of Sebring. Multiple vehicle classes often compete simultaneously, including purpose-built prototypes (like Hypercars) and modified production cars (GT classes), adding complexity as drivers navigate mixed-speed traffic.
