With the summer break coming to an end, one of the most anticipated moments of the national sports calendar of the Italian motorsport and RC Car Racing Federation "ACI Sport" is approaching and all is set for a spectacular 12-hour night Endurance race.

On August 31st and September 1st, the first edition of the ITALIAN ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Minicar Fontanellato, in the province of Parma. The 12-hour race will start at 9:00 PM on August 31st and will determine the Manufacturer's Team that will be crowned Italian Champion 2024. With this new development, the emphasis of the sporting activity shifts from the performance of the individual driver in traditional TOURING races to that of the entire team, with expected stints of about 25 minutes, where the difference will be made by drivers ability, battery and tire change procedures, as well as the reliability of the car in both mechanical and electronic components.

The cars allowed by the federal regulations in ENDURANCE competitions are based on traditional four-wheel-drive TOURING chassis, components, and mechanics. The propulsion is electric and restricted, both in the ESC and motor component, in order to guarantee a balance of performance among all competitors. Bodyshells, regulated by a specific homologation list, are strikingly realistic and referable to the LMH segment of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The 10 teams admitted to the race have qualified through the Italian Cups Endurance races, held between April and July across Italy.
