Platform: PC (windows 95/98?)
Genre: Racing, vehicular combat
Estimated year of release: mid to late '90s?
Graphics/ art style: '90s quality 3D rendering. It had a bit of a dark and rusty look. I don’t think the cars were realistically designed.
Notable characters: one of the cars you could pick might be called viper.
Notable gameplay mechanics: racing, option to get a weapon on your car, after a win you get to pick one of three doors to reveal your prize.
Other details: -

maybe megarace 2? https://store.steampowered.com/app/733760/MegaRace_2/ for screnshots etc. It does look quite rusty and gunky in that 90s 3d way
Does seemingly have a car called “Vipper” https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_e7039c00bf6dd7e601ee9dd8681a9516c6c4854a.1920x1080.jpg
edit: oh, the reward doors? https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_743a183a64b993def3bc62e66b59cbe761430d3b.1920x1080.jpg
Yes! This must be it. I did not expect it to be on Steam, I’ll try it out. I forgot most of the interface, but it does being back memories.
That was quick, thanks so much.
lots of old games on steam, but worth noting that it’s on sale over at gog - generally old games tend to work better out-of-the-box from there, but YMMV
I love this game. Horrible controls, bad car physics, but beautiful (for the time) pre-rendered FMV tracks and dumb cutscenes.
Sounds like MegaRace 2, both available on ZOOM Platform or bundled with MegaRace on GOG.

Have a N.I.C.E day checks these boxes. I don’t know about the three doors though.
