The ability to host full race weekends, both on and offline, I think would be a great idea and could be easy to implement I think.
Free Practice
Free Practice is how each weekend would start and there could be up to 3 practice sessions up to 45 minutes in length each. In these sessions the goal is to simply learn the track and to get to grips with the car and potentially create a decent setup for the race itself.
Qualifying
Qualifying would come after Free Practice although it could be set to just have qualifying and the race or just the race alone. Up to 3 qualifying sessions could be set and there would be several types. Single shot qualifying is the quickest were every driver gets 1 flying lap to set a time. A short qualifying session would last 15 minutes with a maximum of 5 laps to set a time (varied depending on the circuit) with a full qualifying session would last 30-90 minutes with an infinite number of laps. Obviously the goal in qualifying is to set the fastest lap in order to determine grid positions. There could also be grid options such as super pole (like in WTCC), where the slowest driver starts first and all faster drivers start in a reversed grid.
Race
The race would be the main event and there could be several changes made to make the race seem more authentic or to make it more interesting. There could be an option for a continued race where the drivers start in the finishing positions of the last race (DNF'd drivers start last), flag rules where cutting corners, causing collisions and exceeding pit speed limit causes penalties for drivers (or even cause disqualification), endurance where there is a set time limit for the race instead of laps and mandatory pit stops where every car must make at least 1 pit stop during the race (races must be over 30KM/15MI) or face being disqualified from the race results.
Implementation
For offline race weekends it would be able to be set to have race weekends in Arcade Mode alongside the single race option. The number and types of each session could be set after selecting the track and car while for multiplayer it would be possible to have the options for race weekend as an extra menu in the lobby options.
