There are two alternative methods of determining the winner.
The usual winner is the team or rider that completes the most laps with the first lap after the clock has ticked over 24 hours counting to the result, i.e.
*Team A covers 23 laps in 24:03:06
*Team B covers 24 laps in 24:12:09
*Team C covers 24 laps in 24:45:23
The ranking would be:
*1st: Team B
*2nd: Team C
*3rd: Team A
Some races end the race at 24 hours and it is the team with the most laps in the 24 hours that wins, i.e.
*Team A covers 23 laps in 23:50:55
*Team B covers 23 laps in 23:58:12
The ranking would be:
*1st: Team A
*2nd: Team B
