From your comments, it appears that you have not been to one of these races but just to the 24h - if you can't be bothered watching a 6 hour event, then perhaps some other form of racing should be considered.

I go the the Silverstone LMS every year, numerous other enduros around the country and such like, and I have never sat in the same spot for a 6 hour event, and I'll always need to have a "burger break". I'm not offended by such a silly subject, but I'm surprised my passion for the sport has come in to question here. I wasn't calling for two sprints anyway. Perhaps a 1 hour sprint on the Saturday to gauge ineterest in a 500 or 750 km event on the Sunday - as I say, it would be nice if the 1000km events turned into the highlights of the calendar.
