    Meh. But I'm weird and like real enduros. I could see it being interesting to people who want to sneak up on the concept.

    What is your target audience? You're not going to get "real" enduro racers like Chuck and Kirk to show for something like you're suggesting...but you might get a few locals looking for something "fun and different" to do, and as Kirk said it might just get them hooked.

    One of the neat things about an enduro is that it becomes a TEAM effort. Every member of your crew has an important job that has an outcome on the team's results. The successful endurance teams are groups of folks that take pride in their various tasks and know that they contributed to the team's results. The drivers are kind of ancillary. No I in TEAM.
    A two hour - one hour off - two hour enduro can be run by one person (or two if driver change required). No team there. While it's important to keep drivers wanting to run enduros, it's as important for those drivers to recruit crew who will perform functions during the race rather than between sprints.
