People would much rather see prototypes race in sprint vs endurance events.
I totally disagree with your premise that people would rather watch sprint events. 250,000 fans showed up to watch 24 hours of racing at Le Mans in person and another 250,000 fans showed up at the Nordschliefe two weeks later in the rain to watch the Nurburgring 24 in person although N24 was a GT race.

But Petite Le Man broke all records last year in the US and that is a ten hour race with LMP classes.
