I would love to see a rule where the software that each team uses has to be open-sourced at the end of the season, both to ensure competitive parity between well funded and not-so-well-funded teams, and also to ensure that any breakthroughs spread quickly from the world of racing to the world of "normal" cars.
It would be interesting to have a stock car version with software open before the race. Teams could try exploits, interfere with GPS, drive evasively, etc. - arguably this will lead to greater hardening techniques, ability to cope with crashes of all types.
