I've done 3.5 hours straight a couple of times, but I was ready to get out after that. Real sign is that lap times start to get erratic, without suitable "traffic" excuses.

Bad idea.

Exactly. Get a co-driver for anything like a 3.5 hour enduro. Think about the other racers.

You will be happy to know that Team Lemming has been formed, consisting of myself and a fellow 944 racer. We are looking for the overall win. Who's going to come out and challenge us

Bring it on

Edit: Don't you have to rebuild that engine every 8 hrs
