Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a game I used to play when I was a kid, don't know tha year but must be on beginning of 2000s, on a windows (95 or 98) computer.
From what I remember :
- It was a racing game with realistic cars (I remember of a yellow Mitsubishi)
- There were only a few tracks corresponding to cities (I remember of Rome that was at night on paved road, there was also London with pink/red road, and Montreal where it was raining, and others)
- There were different game-mode, classic race with opponents, training, time attack, pursuit (against a cop).
The key element :
There were bonuses (like in Mario Kart) to catch on the circuit then to use, I remember some of them :
- a shield : protecting your car during a short amount of time from opponent bonuses, when used the car was covered inside a blue semi-sphere
- a boost
- spikes : that could be dropped on the road, when dropped they were visible thanks to a luminous red halo
- bomb : that it opponent nearby and slow them.
- others that I can't remember
I remember that the bonuses (when catched and before used) where displayed on top of the screen in a triangle
Does someone has any idea of what game it could be ?

Well, you mentioned a yellow Mitsubishi. Perhaps a good place to start is the following video which shows the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in 20 different racing games:
