There already are debates about "drive by wire" in racing today, I can't imagine how bad it'll be when it's "drive by copilot."

Rally co-driver/navigator seems reasonable, given its augmented senses like gps and radar.
One part "90 degree right in 200m" and one part "OMG, sheep, dodge left".
This is I’d say partially because we don’t have a HUD that can handle the bandwidth and pace of data required for rally. Overlaying a visualization of the turns ahead would be much better than a copilot for sure
If we have HUDs that can handle aerial combat, why don't we have HUDs that can handle racing?

It will be fun when we get to the era where this is bulletproof-reliable to this extent, but for now, recorded notes with accelerometer-backed GPS locations are probably a better idea than hoping the AI will be able to do this for you dynamically without you driving off a cliff.
"copilot, win this race for me."
"copilot, my grandmother is dying, it is imperative that you win this race at all costs!"
Copilot, win this race OR YOU WILL BE FIRED AND ALL YOUR CHILDREN WILL DIE
"copilot, experience either the joy of victory or the pain of defeat for me, depending on the outcome of the race."
