I'd love to see this as well. I think you'd end up with an interesting racing league if you had the following rules:
1. There are speed bumps at the entrance and exit of pit row. (This is to prevent designs that could never work on regular surface streets, such as side skirts for ground effect.)
2. Losing teams can buy the winning vehicle for $100,000. (This is effectively a budget cap to prevent the best funded teams from dominating.)
You'd probably end up with all kinds of crazy designs: active aerodynamics, 6 wheeled vehicles[1]… maybe even gas turbine electric drivetrains. I'd definitely tune in.
