Races should be either 24 hours, 12 hours or done by distance.
I find the 6 hour format actually harder to stomach than 3 hours.
At least three hours generally produces close racing in big fields (I'm a big fan of the Blancpain series), 6 hours seems long enough to string the field out but not long enough to allow a race to develop or push the endurance element. the Tilkedromes, and anorexic fields only serve to exacerbate the issue.
