I think the reason why the 6 hours was originally suggested was because it was thought that that was an acceptable & doable compromise between: endurance, costs, reliability/ preparation requirements of older cars, numbers of available and interested competitors etc. I really think that 6 hours is a reasonable limit for club level competitors. I have worked the pit wall for the Britcar 24 hour race & have seen the effort that went in to running a (well prepared but not highly tuned) Honda Civic and it was vast. We are talking a level of comitment that is a massive step up from the 6 hours & I really believe will need a Britcar level of commitment & budget.
