Four team members share the driving (increasing to six in 24-hour races), with each completing as many laps as they can before handing over to the next driver.
There is evidence of a 24-hour race in 1968, as captured on film by British Pathe.
[1] First run in 1998, the British Pedal Car Championship is a series of endurance races taking place between late March/early April and September/October every year in the UK.
The championship has evolved into 7 or 8 rounds from its early days, and is now held at mostly Kart tracks around the country, usually starting at Wombwell and ending at Curborough, with the prestige 24-hour race held in June at Shenington.
The championship is organised and run by the British Federation of Pedal Car Racing.
