I remembered a few days ago an old car game that was on a Abandonware CD games that I had, but since i've lost this disc and don't remember the name.

What I can recall

It had an advanced physics damage for the time (think something like BeamNG)
It ran on DOS
the wheels were sprites
I recall that the car was not based on a real model but rather on a cartoony one, it had a blue collor
An huge level, not sure if it was even textured
Looking back, it even did sound like an unfinished game.

Not sure if is info enough, but that's all I can remember, it's quite similar to Big Red Racing
