Well, you could probably say 'exciting event', so it does not sound boring.

lend your distinctive flavour
another option/ not sure it fits into "motoring context" I find the original a little far fetched, too

will make them red-hot (events)
one lonely google hit for "schmackhafter Anlass" (and that's a sausage ad), none for "schmackhafte Anlässe"
and "motoring" and "spices" just doesn't do it for me.
So I tried again.
other options:
Wir arbeiten bereits wieder an diversen schmackhaften Anlässen, zu welchen Sie mit Ihrer Teilnahme das passende Gewürz beimischen möchten - for a motoring event as in a car show?
I would be thinking of engines, gas, oil, turbo power, fuel, gears, speed, heat, etc.
already again, we are organizing (some/quite a few) more hot events/shows
we're again heating up/getting ready for more strong events,
we're revving up our engines again for a few more strong events,
we're gearing up for quite a few more strong events,
and again, we've got quite a few more hot events coming
and your participation/your presence/you there will make them red-hot (events).
...will add that extra zip/power
you/your participation will put them into overdrive
and with you there we'll/they'll go full throttle
and with you there they'll be/ we'll be smokin(g) (hot) (well, depending....)
to make it the perfect dish
to season it perfectly
and "motoring" and "spices" just doesn't do it for me.
