Okay, i have an another odd idea:
Each stat, instead of adding straight bonuses(except for +x/+x, it is effectively a straight bonus), it instead increases the part of the dice instead. For example;
Base dice is 1~6
X stat is 0/+2
When X stat is used, then
1~(6+Stat)=1~(6+2)=1~8
Another example-
Base dice is 1~20
Y stat is 0/+5
When Y stat is used, then
1~(20+stat)=1~(20+5)=1~25
The first part, however, adjusts the lower side of the dice. For example:
Base Dice is 1~6
Z stat is -1/0
When Z stat is used, then
(1-stat)~6=(1-1)~6=0~6
So it's like this:
-1/+4 at 1~6 becomes 0~10
+1/-4 at 1~6 becomes a sure 2.
Note: trying to add bonuses beyond it's current max, or trying to add maluses beyond it's current min, well, divide by two and round down (max to bonuses, min to maluses).
Adding bonuses to the lower side of the dice, however, costs triple as much as adding bonuses the upper side. The reverse doesn't apply to maluses, however.
Not sure if this will work.
Liiiink!
Naaaaviiiii!
KHAAANNN!
CREEEEEEEEEEEED!
TASSAAAAADAAAAR!!!
DEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRM!!!!! why u do thes
This is what wants me to scream "TREES, DAMMIT!"

Edit:
Sounds pretty cool. I have an idea that will make things more immersive for the spectators.
Since the spectators are the ones who are designing the cars, how about also giving them the ability to create their own brands? To clarify, you know how there are all those car companies (Honda, Tesla, Chevrolet, etc.), well maybe you can have the spectators also be fictional car companies that designed those vehicles. Obviously the spectator will be able to name the company themselves. Let me show you an example.
Spectator: Fallacy of Urist
Name of company: Racer's Delight
Urist designs a few cars and if he's into it enough, he'll probably add some nice flavour text. So, when the player receives their randomly selected car, they will know that it was made by Racer's Delight. Of course, the spectator themselves is anonymous, only the brand is known.
Of course, how much of an impact this has will be dependent on how far you take it. Currently, in the state that I presented it to you, it should make for some fun flavour text.
It could be like in Borderlands, with each different brand having something unique to them that is copyrighted, and can get other brands and drivers in trouble for copying them. Also, you could also get special awards along with the general cash award for sponsoring a specific brand, including those outside of racing, like coke companies, and shoe manufacturers.
Brands for certain people... Yep. Other sponsor things.... not so much.
Or there could be a hidden perk and malus for each brand that's never mentioned in game (but used, obviously). Would make it stranger.
This is the perfect way of 'buffing' Modification stat: The racer can notice sabotages in the vehicle for general, and also fix them. And also sabotage other people's vehicle.
Note: Sabotages in the vehicle, either from the sender or another people,
must be is recommended sending it in a PM

What is the perfect time for me to launch the game?
