This is how I imagine these races would take place:
The whole planning process of a race is very secretive. Only the racing
teams, drivers, organizers and maybe a few sponsors know where the next race
will be. I like the idea of hundreds or thousands of Bikes and drivers
decending suddenly upon some hapless Megalopolis on a random planet.
They're carefully planned racing course cuts right through the city, turning
it upside down. The authorities are helpless to control the pandemonium.
But slowly some of the chaos abates as the citizens realize with pride that
their city has been chosen as the site of the next great Turbocycle
Championship.
Sounds neat to me anyway... :-)
