Even regionals are 5 x 5 mins, still more track time, than the laps format.

We actually run to 10 laps as that equates more or less to 5 mins, the race winner must complete 10 laps. However each race is fully timed using the BBK system. Each driver gets 6 races, the best 4 count towards their finishing position, this allows each driver to discard a non finish or whatever. The heats are mixed so drivers hopefully have different drivers in each race.
In the off road the different abilities do not seem to make such a difference in the races as they do in our touring races. And yes we have F1/F2 drivers in with F5's and it seems to work.
With our touring cars we run 3 qualis & 3 legged finals. I also believe we were one of the first clubs to run grid order in legs 2 & 3 of the finals in the order of the previous final leg.
