Using the absolutely necessary is quite a problem, because you could also argue that pilots aren't absolutely necessary (as you can have it by GPS navigation or someone outside the cockpit driving) or that the power isn't absolutely necessary since they had less than 200bhp under the hood way back.

Are there any current Formula racing tournaments that don't have powerful cars, and/or no drivers? (FYI, I'm sure computer controlled F1 racing will be a thing eventually. We already have computer chess championships. And with computer/remote controlled cars, you don't have to worry as much about safety regulations, so things can be much faster.)

There are current Formula racing tournaments that don't have grid girls though. They also aren't economically necessary - for any tournament to survive, there must be some factor that makes it financially viable (wether that's sponsorship revenue, viewership revenue, or even donations). Thus evidently grid girls aren't an economic necessity. They may provide an economic benefit, but not an absolutely necessary one.

Have you missed the reduction on engines size, removal of turbo and a lot of other things that made the bhp smaller on F1 during the last 30 years?

You have gone full circle in your argument and stayed on the same place. When you go for absolute necessity, almost nothing is absolute necessity, and most things if removed can re-adapt without it.

Case you don't know F1 have lost viewership year after year because of stall competition and its restriction, still they keep making more restriction and making the doubt about who is going to be the champion basically nonexistent.

And for your case of "there are current...." did you gone there on the first time a grid girl was removed to complain that there wasn't any other without grid girls at the time, or you are using it just to suit your argument?
