It would be cool if all the drivers had to use VR headsets for the race. Instead of building the car, each team has to build the computer to run the game.

MLB has been using a console and posting games played by the AI of the actual, scheduled games. It's pretty cool and there's no commercials, so the game is like 1.5hrs tops on average.
Some of the games, like the Miami Marlins, were played by people (players) instead of letting the AI do both sides.
