Physics Engine

Hey,

I'm developing a racing game and I'm looking for a good physics engine.
I think I'll just ask a few questions:

1. Which Physics engine would you recommend for a racing game? And why? What are the positive and negative points of the different engines?

2. Is it hard to use a physics engine with irrlicht directly? Should I use a wrapper (like IrrNewt for example)? Why?

Thank you very much, I'm really looking forward to get answers to my questions!

D.

this is discussed to much

for example a racing physics topic:

or just physics

For physics, i've been told about Newton, pretty robust, with one working example, and fast. Or, directly, Bullet, or NVidia's Physx
