How long is the Enduro and why are some folks skipping it?
Look here and look at the forecasted lap times for each racer in each group:

Provided it doesn't rain, it looks like some F cars will be up front and the rest will be intermixed. The Enduro is 90 minutes with refueling. Some people don't run it because they don't have track support to help refuel or have to head home early.

With a split start it may not be as much of a cluster as it appears. G&F have enough hp to get way out front if the split is done well so the leaders of the next group will have a few laps before hitting traffic.

Note to SPB and F Class Boxsters: Please identify who is who. It's easy to mistake one Boxster for another and inadvertently get into a race for position. And non-Boxsters please note who your are racing in F vs SPB. Just a friendly reminder. From inside the car it can be difficult to see the class markings and given the number of SPB's it will be more difficult no doubt.

If the class letter designations were on the upper right corner of windshields instead of on front bumpers, it would be a lot easier to figure out who's behind you.

If you can no longer see the person's bumper because he's already too close, it's probably already too late to figure out whether he's a competitor or not. Now if people would only put big enough and contrasting car numbers and class designations on their cars .... That would make life easier....
