About

The 24 Hours of Lemons is the original comedy endurance racing series, where teams race $500 cars for up to 24 hours at circuits across the United States. Known for its irreverent humor, creative car themes, and penalty system that punishes overspending, Lemons has introduced thousands of people to wheel-to-wheel racing in a low-stakes, high-fun environment. While the series is lighthearted in spirit, the on-track competition is real and safety standards are strictly enforced. Lemons has been responsible for bringing more new drivers into motorsport than perhaps any other organization.
