24-hour race

Full-day motorsport event

A 24-hour race is a motorsport endurance event where competitors drive continuously for a full day, with the winner covering the greatest distance.

Teams rotate multiple drivers who take shifts behind the wheel while crews refuel and repair the vehicle.

The most famous examples—Le Mans, Daytona, Nürburgring—test both machine durability and human stamina across day and night conditions.
