I think the best support race I remember in my nine years was the 2014 Carrera Cup event. And I think a lot of that boiled down to the driving talent on display that day.

Found this video when Googling the year - https://youtu.be/olEYg62Y7RQ

When I was watching that it felt like it actually mattered who won it.
Agree with all of that.

That 2014 Porsche race was the combined France and UK Carrera Cups, right? With a bit of imagination they could create some one-off special events like that. Maybe French Carrera Cup combined with that Ligier two class series or something else random like that. Why not?

As for a longer RTLM race, I think the reason they went for two short races was so that they wouldn't have to refuel. Too difficult to accommodate in the pitlane that close to the start of the main race.
