4-Hour Team Enduro Round 1: The Long-Stint Season Opens

Round 1 of the 2026 4-Hour Team Enduro opened the long-stint season at Music City Kartplex on June 27. Teams of one to four drivers share one track-prepared rental kart for four hours, so strategy starts before the green flag: driver order, ballast, fuel windows, and clean swaps.

The format replaced the retired 6-Hour enduro for 2026 while keeping the same idea: accessible endurance racing without owning equipment. Exact finishing orders live in the timing archive; this recap covers the product, not a fabricated podium list.

What The Format Rewards

Four hours punishes rushed stops and rewards a crew that plans the stint. A fast single lap means little if the next driver is late to the kart or the fuel plan falls apart mid-race.

Because everyone races MCK rental karts, the field stays matched on equipment. The gap is preparation and teamwork.

Still On The Calendar

Round 2 was scheduled for July 18 as an evening start. Round 3 continues the season later in the year. The enduro events page tracks remaining dates and the $600-per-team entry path.

Crews that want practice before the next round can book Arrive & Drive or a private group session to rehearse swaps on the same CRG fleet.
