I think the Satcar/EMRA TT events are what you are looking for.  There is no speed limit/cones/chicane, it's just full course boogy.

Not to knock auto-x (it's not my cup of tea) but while both require car control, rythm, etc...the high speed track stuff brings in the "who's gonna lift for the high speed break your neck corner" factor, which to me is way more fun.  In my (limited) experience, the slow and medium speed corners are mostly equal between cars (you find this out with other cars in the hot lap sessions), it's the foot on the floor triple digit sweepers where you are pulling max or close to max lateral grip, and it's the guy who doesn't lift or lifts the least who's quicker.  Now to me, that's what gets the heart rate up and what's really really fun!
