No, it was removed because it no longer produced any binaries
(specifically they've all been taken over by other source packages).
This can be seen by the excuses listing:

* torcs-data has no binaries on any arch

The source packages haven't, no, but the binaries are now produced by
the "torcs" source package.  As the package maintainer, I'd expect that
you'd know this.  :-)

$ dak ls -s testing torcs-data-{cars,tracks}
torcs-data-cars |    1.3.3-4 |       testing | all
torcs-data-tracks |    1.3.3-4 |       testing | all

I'm not sure what you believe needs doing here.
