Two drivers and a comfortable car with seats that recline make the trip acceptable.
We did the "straight through" method a few times with two or three drivers. The trouble we had was that we entered the car with our sleep cycles synchronized. That is, we all got tired at the same time.

Getting it done in 22 hours shows the value of your departure times!
