Hi,
Since i am new to irrlicht, i want to start a small project to have some experience.
I started to work on a car racing game i c++, but i prefer to have some one else to help me to finish it.
I am not english, and my english too bad. but i can speak fresh and arabic better

I have made a 3d car race game before. I feel it necessary to prepare not only a core game program but several tools to design courses or control other cars. It may be harder than you have imagined.

You could have a look at TORCS, but be aware that it's GPL.

making racing games certainly isn't simple (as gogo has said) and when you look at TORCS you're realise it.

But saying that, I was planning to make a small Irrlicht-based Racing game myself to put irrAI and irrPhysX through their paces (simulaneously developing a Racing-AI-Module and Vehicle-Physics for irrAI and irrPhysX respectively) so maybe (just maybe) you could join me for some hands-on-experience

It would be an open-source and public project, a-la Christian's First-King project.
Planning to start on it next year though (not long now

) after irrAI 0.5 becomes available

You might also take a look at Super Tux Kart, a project which is heading towards Irrlicht

I'm about to release IrrPhysx 0.3 with fluid support (including hardware fluids). Next I'll be adding character controller and vehicles. Eventually I aim to replace IrrNewt in my game engine with IrrPhysx - the driving demo on my website (which uses my game engine) obviously uses vehicles, hence why I'm adding them to IrrPhysx.

If it works for you then great - "complete" is a relative term.
