The 24 Hours of Zuidhaven is a yearly sports car and touring car endurance race held at the Zuidhaven International Circuit in Orioni. The race was first held in 1994, and has run every year except for 2008. The winner of the race is the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours. This differs from fixed-distance races, where the winner is determined by the fastest time. For this reason, the racing teams must balance two factors. The car must reach high speeds, while also running for 24 hours without failure.
The winning teams in each category of the 1000 km of Zuidhaven also earn an automatic invitation to the 24 Hours of Zuidhaven. The top three teams from the KAP World Grand Prix also receive a free invitation to the event.
