you are thinking inside the box

Well, 40-odd years of experience says there isn't an outside
to that box. The last unlimited automobile race series was
the Can-Am in the late 60s, early 70s. Which ended because
it was simply too fast and too expensive.

No, drag racing hasn't had an unlimited class since the
50's (or maybe early 60's). The only unlimited class I
can think of would be LSR at Bonneville.

interesting and dangerous but not unlimited it seems but close
i would remove the human from the vehicle and make it autonomous

Well, that would be another way to bring racing to an end.
If there's no human in it, it's no longer a sporting
competition, and spectator interest will rapidly approach
zero.
