Here is a copy of a post I made earlier:
Email this guy. He has a special 'race.bin' file for demo 2.2 that
allows some very cool stuff to be done to the game i.e. change # of
cars, change mirror, allows you to map a key to left, right and behind
view and  tres cool it allows change to field of view. Its only for the
demo but its definitely worth a look to see the potential.

He's the webmaster at http://welcome.to/viper_racing
He's got a news thing right on his site all about this stuff.

With just the plain old 2.2 demo and stock 'race.bin' you can do a max
of 16(?) cars( 14 AI, your car and ghost car, I think). You need to edit
the 'options.cfg' file in the options dir. Make these changes
'ai_car_count 14'  and 'car_count 16' and save the file. Run the game
but DO NOT touch the arrows for the number of AI cars in the menu. It
should say 14 AI cars when you fire up the demo and do a quick race.

Note: You will need fairly fast machine hardware. I'm running a 128mb,
12mb V2 and a PII233 oc'ed to 291. 16 cars is fairly smooth. Estimate a
lowest frame rate of 15fps or so with an average of 30fps on my rig. At
more than 20 cars my rig starts to start to slow more than I like.
