i made a 24 Hour race by bicycle on the Nurburgring (Germany). The feeling of working in a team 24 hours a day is overwhelming. I can very well understand the enthusiasm of the participants. It doesn't matter what kind of event you do 24 hours a day, it's always a special experience. A great event and I think the participants had a lot of fun

I'm sorry but 24h working for a cycling race team doesn't look like much work · Each lap is like 10 minutes long · No big crashes or mechanical problems possible · Cycling endurance races usually involve 5-6 riders instead of 3 drivers like professional motorsport endurance racing

I did the same. First year our league did such an event. We fielded 2 cars under 2 names, but the same 10 'staff'. Team 1 was actually 6 individuals, our best drivers and engineer. Team 2 was 3 drivers plus me as crew. Our 'Pro' car won the event. Only just. But that's all it takes. The team I worked on I THINK ended the race in 4th, but I would need to go back and check the record books. (of which, I was on the box a combined total of 16 of the 24 hours, I didn't drive, I have no talent around the track). I coordinated driver changes and pit stop cycles for our car. One driver could nap, take a stint on the box while I got some rest, the other driver would crew, and they could switch out driver duties as they wished while I was asleep. you don't NEED a crewman for pit stops, but it sure does help. I've since hung up from racing in the league. I was GOOD when we had 60 drivers. But we've to 400 drivers. I can't compete anymore. BUT I'd love to get into crew/spotter roles instead. I fielded 2 cars in 2022 for 2 events. the first event was my other driver's first league start ever. in an LMP1 at Watkins Glen for a 2 hour event. I spotted him to a P4 in his split. I .... Did far worse.. I was also in a GT3. Kinda told me right then and there I'd be best suited for spotter/crew duties than driving as such a high level.

Receiving something for participation is fine depending on why people receives it. If it is just a token to say I participated in this event then that is fine as everyone gets one include those that get trophies. If people receive it because someone else doesn't want someone to feel bad because they didn't win, that is stupid and not okay.

"Back in the day . . . " slot car racing had a handful of well knowns that could get sponsorship from the parts and kit manufacturers. It was about at the level of how skate boarding is now, at least from my then young teenager vantage point. They'd be guys in their late teens or early twenties; long hair, bell bottoms, etc. That was 1/24 scale in the U.S.A. I was into 1/32 scale and fabricated as much as I could of the chassis by soldering up brass sheet, tubing and rods. Never rewound a motor though. It's a great hobby to learn various skills a young person can use in other facets of life for ever.
