GOG's catalogue in this area is limited unfortunately, but I can give you an alternative that will cost nothing. It's from an abandonware site though, you can't legally get it anywhere... Check your PM.

Motoracer 1 and 2 are quite good. Motoracer 3 went overboard with the arcade feel. You sleep and slide like few other car race games.

Not quite in the same genre, but free, is skyroads. It's kind of a fun arcade game from 20 or so years ago. http://www.bluemoon.ee/history/skyroads/

World Rally Fever would probably suit your needs fairly well.

From the link that Licurg gives you, check out Big Red Racing. It's one of my favourite racing games.

I still have the original CD for that one. It's one of the best racing games I've ever played. If by best you mean batshit insane gameplay and a ridiculous variety of tracks.

I loved taking my swap boat off the track on the bayou level.

Not to mention that it was one of the first racing games that I played where there were short cuts available, if you could find them.

The language does get a bit salty at times, but I thought the recordings were the best part of the game.

Screamer is a decent racer once you get past the rather idiosyncratic handling of the cars - and quite blatantly a Ridge Racer rip-off.

Oh, and it's not available on any digital distribution platform any more, ostensibly for licensing reasons, but Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast is my choice for best PC arcade racer of all time. It's DRM-free, so you should be able to pick up a used copy off eBay or Amazon or something.

Flatout is a super-fun arcade racer.

FlatOut and FlatOut 2.

Did you try the Windows patch? This is how I got my Carmageddon working free of stutter.

If it's arcade racing you're after, I recommend Trackmania Nations Forever. It has a shitload of tracks, online multiplayer, a level editor, and best of all, it's free.

And since the latter is still not in GOG, you can buy it from DotEmu instead (DRM-free too).

wait till the nfs games release here or roadrash...............sigh

the greatest racer of all time is Pod!



if only I could get my cd to work... *sigh*

DRM-free on GG, too. Just zip the game's files after installation.
