Here's an interesting comparison... The Birkett 6hr team handicap. I did that at Silverstone recently. There were fifty 6-car teams... 300 cars of all shapes, sizes and era's. Morning practice was none competitive, just needing all cars to do at least three laps. (I went out for about 20 mins). Then followed by a continuous 6 hour race starting at 11am with 50 cars on track at all times. With most teams, each car is on track for 1 hr usually in two 1/2 hr stints. At the last meeting, only 3/4 hr was under safety car, the rest was none-stop action.
A spectators delight you might imagine... didn't see too many myself though :-(
