As an autocrosser that pyramid actually does make sense. If I wanted to go up a level from here, it would be doing laps on a track which I have also done(with the passing only allowed in the straightaway). We sometimes have our autoX events out at an actual racetrack that also has an adjacent cement pad that we use for the autoX. After the event, they allow us to do "parade laps" which is a five lap timed run on the 1.3 mile long track. Lots of fun to actually run the course even though it's not wheel to wheel.
If I had the cash, I'd totally be into wheel to wheel racing as it is the ultimate adrenaline rush. The closes thing to that(which is a form of W2W I guess) is I'm planning on joining an indoor kart league as soon as the place opens. True it's not in real cars, but I think the adrenaline of actually going head to head against someone with their vehicle inches from yours is the ultimate rush.
