      Check out formula e. It is electric race cars and they can get bonus power by driving in a particular part of the track. They used to let fans vote to give cars a boost too but i think it’s discontinued.

      I think nascar already has a virtual banana peel. They also stop the race right before the end, then restart and hope for crashes then.

      When they started redesigning the cars to be safer in the late 90s I’m pretty sure they were doing it because 80%+ of the audience at those races were there to see crashes.
