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: -

Sounds like MegaRace 2, both available on ZOOM Platform or bundled with MegaRace on GOG.
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.
I love this game. Horrible controls, bad car physics, but beautiful (for the time) pre-rendered FMV tracks and dumb cutscenes.
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

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