I don't think the business case can be made for going 1000km. TV factors into it pretty heavily, and the ALMS (as I said) has focused on professional teams (read "paid drivers").

Don't get me wrong, I want longer races. But until TV becomes at least revenue neutral while not being shown on Speed, it won't happen.

(NASCAR races can go 5 hours, so I don't think the argument can be made that a racing audience doesn't have the patience for longer than three hours)
