Sports are safe. Machines came after runners (motogp, formula 1) and yet we cheer the winners of the 100 m at the Olympics Games. Fully autonomous bikes and cars won't change that. AIs destroy chess players. We still cheer the world champion.

We care about sports with humans.

Robot MotoGP would be amazing to see just how far the limits could be pushed without risking the life of a human though. Or even full size remote control.

Sadly I don't think there is any safe tracks for proper autonomous car racing without limits... Still would be interesting to see what is the absolute best you could do if rules include only say minimum number of wheels and maximum dimensions for vehicles.
