They need to leave the format just as it is now. 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.
