I know what an enduro motorcycle is but what sort of racing is car enduro?

I think enduro is not lap based like 30 laps till the checkerd. Its more like how many laps can you get in before 3 hours is up.

Its more like how many laps can you get in before 3 hours is up.our enduros are based on time..they run from 1 to 4 hours, so you are exactly right...next up is the 4 hour on 11/19...we are in a class dominated by second gen rx7's..they have a little more power but most importantly only weigh 2100lbs to our 2550...that was our 1st first place ever in an enduro..the rain is a great equalizer..started from 2nd row outside and never looked back..one rx7 went behind the wall for 5 laps and the other we ran consistently about 20 seconds in front of...when they did their driver change, driver #2 hit a wall pretty hard...thats just when we got black flag all for fog...believe me the next race is everything..you get 20 points for 1st in a one hour, 40 for a 2 hour etc..so 80 points up for grabs..and i am bringing on a 3rd driver, a former pro who happens to be the dad of my codriver sean..and he is real good at night...heh heh..he has run as high as 5th in a private entry in the 6 hours at the glen
