What is Endurance Racing?
Endurance racing pits multiple classes of sports cars in races lasting six, 12 or 24 hours. The FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) crowns titles at the top with the Hypercar (LMH/LMDh) and LMGT3 classes; its blue-riband event, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has run in the Sarthe since 1923.
