Sprint format race lengths

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of the 100-140km 'intermediate' races traditionally held on sprint weekends - I think they're too long to be attention-grabbing sprint races (like the late-90s format or current BTCC format), but too short to be strategic 'single-driver endurance' races.

I feel like there should be 3x20-30min races on the Saturday (awarding 50pts to the winner in each) and the 200km main event on Sunday (awarding 150pts), with only the first Saturday race and the 200km race having Qualifying-based grids to spice things up a bit.

Thoughts?

FIA Driver Categorization archive

Are historical FIA Driver Categorization tables available anywhere online? EDIT: I'm still looking for copies of 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2022 as these were not saved to Wayback Machine.

I'm aware that the likes of Le Mans/IMSA spotter guides, GTWC/Blancpain entry lists and so on include ratings in them, but it would be ideal to have a more comprehensive list.

Agustín Canapino reflects on his IndyCar stint

Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVJBtWhDWYE

I apologize if any of the translations are incorrect, I don't speak Spanish - translation was done through a combination of DeepL, Vidnoz and YouTube's auto-generated captions. Corrections are appreciated.

For context, Fernandez is the restaurant owner and Benvenuti is one of Canapino's team-mates.
