Try tracking down a copy of Car Wars by Steve Jackson Games. Although it has a futuristic setting, it has a detailed system for car movement (acceleration, braking, manoeuvring, obstacles, hazards, collisions) and combat (which you may - or may not - want to leave out). It may be useful to base a racers game on...
