Pretty cool - nide to see ODE still be used for something.
You are still getting that problem of rearwheel steer - all my reading on the ODE forums suggests that no-one has yet found a way around that while still using the carwheel joint type for the rear wheels - certainly I could do no better than a sort of bodge which worked most of the time, but as the speeds increased the problem came back, ususally flipping the car over.
Have you tried the Stunt Car Racer demo in my sig? It uses just Tokamak for car physics, and while not perfect, it does allow for high speeds, powerslides and vast improbable jumps (through a cunning tweak!). The lack of suspension springs is the only area where Tokamak really falls over - you could probably do it with recently added sensor commands, as shown by the official Tokamak car demo, but I've not tried it yet.
I will be quite happy to discuss the Tokamak code behind my demo with you if it would help.
