We have plans to excessively improve races making most of this already possible to pull off. I could elaborate on some of the features we have in mind that haven't been suggested here, but heh, I don't want to be here all night 
.
But I will point out some additions that will be required in accordance to your suggestions that we haven't thought about:
- Cups
- Time Trials
- Finishing -> Spectating other racers
- Teleporting to previous checkpoint when exiting race
The problem is however, I can't guarantee implementation of these features. The racing improvements will be the biggest part of this new version and will be a lot of work. We already have over 50 improvements / features in mind for racing alone and from past experience I'm sure we'll get to a feature lockdown position where we just want everything stable before all of these already suggested features are even implemented.
What I can say is you'll be able to create a race ingame to match your map and save it so it always loads to the main server, even after a gmx / server restart. If anyone still feels interested in creating these kind of maps: go for it! I'm sure using the features that will be available to you you'll still be able to pull off some nice races from these maps. If lots of people have created lots of these kart tracks at the end, I'll create an ingame menu separate from the race menu at least so people can easily access them and spot the uniqueness to them. Perhaps from there we may implement some of these suggestions in a later version.
