I'm trying to think of an old racing game on the PC (about 10 years old possibly older)

Basically you'd race and at the end of the race a cut scene with a man (actual taped footage) would come on and the man would say something negative if you lose but if you won you'd get a prize but all the prizes were complete crap like a vacation to the sewers or a dinner at a resturant.........That you have to pay for your self or used lawn chairs, things like that, does anyone know what game im talking about/

Megarace sucked ass. I remember first playing it on my single speed CD-ROM and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to a double speed CD-ROM and all hell broke loose. The game literally doubled in speed since the video is streamed directly off the CD... including the actual racetrack.
