 In auto racing, endurance refers to long distance races, often 1000 kilometers or more. Usually 3 to 5 drivers will share the driving. Endurance races include the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Bathurst 1000 and the Petit Le Mans, the Spa 24 Hours at Spa-Francorchamps, and Zolder 24 Hours in Belgium, as well as the 25 Hours of Thunderhill in California, and Takashi 24 in Japan. Perhaps the most gruelling endurance race is the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, when some 200 cars start the race in uncertain weather conditions around a 23 kilometre track in Germany’s Eifel mountain region.
