Replace Gokarts with a racing module for Pods.
Build some race courses using the debris and station maps as the point of reference.
Maybe instead of physical tracks, there could be some laser checkpoints that the Pod driver sees and then a final finishline. It's all location based, so maybe players could design their own race courses around the landmarks and then export them for sharing in the forums.
This opens up more variety than a single go kart track, and also seems way more fun if players can stun each other with nonlethal weapons to gain an advantage.
tl;dr Add pod racing.
The racing part of VR seems woefully underused, and I think combining it with space pods would be the best way to keep a racing minigame without having it sit unused. Even if you're just flying a pod around trying to get a low time while dodging drones, you're still having some fun.
