Default Who would do a LONG enduro?

If a race had a 3 or 4 hour enduro (which mandates a driver change), would you participate?

I would. I'd like to see PCA have something akin to the 13 hours that NASA does at VIR.

I would really like to see pca add a 4 to 6 hour race to the schedule of one of the larger events (road America, wg, ....)

Would be exciting.

how do you work out the issue of crashing somebody else's car? does every driver take responsibility when he's in the car?

How do you convince the "big dogs" to co-drive with the "little dogs?"....
The teams would be made up of either veterans or rookis...
Probably not too much competition...
But I would partecipate..

Sure - have done a couple of six hour, and three 25 hour races. Herr Perfessur Helmut-Testor has done more than any of us can count, though - he's got the rest of us weenies beat.

I know lots of people share driving duties in 90 minute enduros, but I'm not sure if I'm up for having someone else drive my car and not sure if I want to drive someone else's car. I've driven other people's cars at speed on the track and I always held back due to the issue of responsibility and timely compensation. If I wrecked my car at the track, I could take as long as I wanted to before my car had to turn a wheel in anger again. If I wrecked a friend's car, I would feel obligated to fix the car immediately or cover the costs to do so.

If I were driving a rent-a-car, I'd feel much differently about a long enduro.
