For stock car racing like NASCAR claims to be, I would put them back in some modified form of factory equipment on smaller tracks. Fast is great, but what is the thrill of everyone being able to hold it wide open until someone makes a mistake and causes such a violent wreck that it is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.
Formula1, I would take away wing, as they did, but I would give them back ground effects. The issue most seem to point to in modern F1 is that the cars are way too aero sensitive. Smaller wings mean less turbulence to a car coming up from behind and the grip of ground effects can't be messed up just because another car is around. I believe it would let the cars race closer to one another.
Sports car racing, I would want to get more dual race weekends like in the old days. GT1 and GT2 are great series and thriving today, sometimes operating under different names. I think it would be great for the manufacturers and an easy way to get more small teams involved to bring back the GT3/GT4 formulas to get even closer to stock versions out on the track.
GT4 is basically the same as SCCA stock, change tires, shocks, and add safety equipment and get out on the track. GT3 was similar, but allowed for some bolt ons to get them rolling a bit faster.
Gotta get rid of the made up cars like the Pontiac GXP-R while they are at it.
