In an effort to reduce the chances of driver fatigue, auto racing sanctioning bodies, such as the FIA have imposed sporting regulations on endurance and 'Sports Car' races, and series.
Most sanctioned sports car races, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, or the 12 Hours of Sebring, limit drivers time in any car at 4 hours before requiring a driver change. Most 24 Hours of Le Mans entries consist of 3-4 drivers per car to accommodate this regulation.
During the American Le Mans series, which typically consist of shorter (4-12 hour) races, teams may only use 2 drivers, depending on the race distance, and sporting regulations.
