Two questions about temp leagues and races

So i've just started playing PoE again and I am not sure as to whether I want to start a new toon on the temp leagues right now cause i have no idea how much longer they are on for? And when the new ones start

Also I was just curious as to why some of the race rewards are plain white items i'm sure i'm missing something there but its a curious question cause for the 1st time I really want to try and get into doing races
The white items are alternate art ilevel 100
To Do List:
-Add Better Minion Supports
-Add More Permanent Minions

They still last for one more month I think.
The white items are base items that can be crafted into some of the best items in the game with sufficient resources. They're a huge currency sink, as many will spend 1000s of exalts trying to make them the best they can be. The alternate art is considered valuable as well.

I know how they work, but don't understand why people want to do that.
Ok looks like i'll hold off on the temp leagues and just wait for the new ones and I figured they had to be high lvl whites to be worth being rewards time to study up on racing info thanks for the info peeps much appreciated
