In Norway, we first switched to seven minutes, and then to eight two years ago. Running eight minutes is ok. The race is a bit longer, you can get into a rythm, and you get more running during race day.
We have one problem though. All international racing is still five minutes, and it's a lot harder adjusting back to the intensity you need with that, than it is to run longer heats. But I feel 8 minutes has really been a good thing, as it feels a lot longer, yet it's still short enough so that you get the intensity that I love about electric racing.
Of course, we can run 20-30 minutes and more, but then we take away some of the intensity and make strategy in terms of tire wear and heat for that matter a lot more important. In my eyes? Boooring:-P
