Jaunty Jalopies

Derived from the publisher's site:

Wacky automobile racing from the barnstorming days of the Roaring 20's. Each player portrays one of six race car drivers having a personality, skills, and a car that give special advantages. Use these and skillful card play to dodge Mishaps and Sub-Plots. Evil Villains will hatch Fiendish Plots while Heroes will come to the rescue of less fortunate racers.

One Small Step created a sequel for this game, Jaunty Jalopies 2: Motoring Madness.
