As a driver, undoubtedly a longer race holds more interest as different tactics come into play. As a marshal, longer races can be a real turn-off, depending on the class of car, for example a few years ago the BRSCC tried mini enduro Prod Saloon races that were soooo tedious!! on the other hand, a six hour international sportscar race ws something else! As a spectator, short sharp punchy races filling the day send most punters home happy (witness Castle Combe racedays, always with good crowds and close racing). So, I guess everyone has different tastes and perhaps it's not possible to please everyone all of the time.
