They only do like 9 laps in one race in Macau nowadays. ST used to do at least 12 laps per race if I remember right. Given the likelihood of crashes and safety car periods, we only get like 5 or 6 laps of racing per race and 12 laps total for the weekend if we are lucky. Mind you the first time S2000 visited Macau we only got 8 lap races...
The races are limited to 50km in the WTCC. Series like the STCC with its 40-minute races proves that the cars can indeed go that distance. Secondly, they do add laps (to a certain level) when the SC is brought out.
