maybe the term is incorrect, but basically, have races that have the following features:
- you start at a station, perhaps tourist oriented
- you have to complete the race, which might take 1 to 8 hours depending on the complexity
- you have to jump from station to station, or between solar systems
- you might have to do 500 light years for example
- there would be prizes to the winner
- you can start whenever you want, so everyone does not have to start at the same time
- there could be a limitation per class of ship
- you might be limited to only flying in solar systems owned by specific alliances (such as anarchy)
- you will be competing on a variety of measurements, such as: total time in minutes to complete the race, fuel used, number of jumps, total distance traveled, etc
- there should be a start position and finishing position (such as a station or beacon)
- there could be an entry fee
- there could be different prizes for different classes of ships
- there could be specific tasks, such as how many pirates you can kill, how many minerals you can mine, how many solar objects you can detect, etc
- there could be a target that you have to find, such as a specific beacon, hidden somewhere at the destination
- it would start at a station that makes sense, for example the race would not start in an industrial or agricultural world
- the races could start on a specific schedule, such as friday night at midnight.

Something 1-2 MAX is where I'm thinking. Anything else should be community-run.
