Console Games (Nintendo, Sony etc.) and Arcade Games/forgotten name of an old video game

Question
I've forgotten the name of a fun game i rented out years ago. I think it was for PSone but it could have been sega.
The object of the game was to knock other cars out of the ring. Each car had a special shooting attack that usually stunned the car it hit. I remember one of the cars was like a plane and could fly outside the ring for a brief period of time. I think the cars might of had animals in them. One of the cars (blue) had either a panda or an asian driver in it.

Answer
Well, if it featured animals it could be:
Crash Team Racing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_Team_Racing)

Cel Damage sounds similar, too, but it was only released for Xbox and Game Cube: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cel_Damage

Do you remember if the game featured any other modes (i.e. was knocking the car out of the ring just one mode while there were other races you could do)?  Anything else you can tell me about the game would be great to help me identify it.

I hope to hear back from you soon!

Best wishes,
Helen =)

Expertise

Ever since I played "Pong" in the early 80's, I've been a video game aficionado. I can answer hardware & games questions about PSP (PlayStation Portable), all PlayStation (1,2,& 3), Wii, Wii Fit, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, and antiquated systems (ColecoVision, Atari, Sega, etc). I can answer hardware questions about all systems (including PS1 - PS3, Wii, NES, SNES, PSP, DS, GBA, GB, Xbox and Xbox 360). I can also answer PC game questions, especially CounterStrike: Source, Vampire: Bloodlines, Half-Life 1&2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and all Sims & Sims 2 questions. I am ESPECIALLY knowledgeable in Square-Enix (formerly SquareSoft) games such as ALL the Final Fantasy games (I can even tell you really obscure things about these games). If I haven't played the game yet I will research it and help you find the answer, renting the game if necessary. I can even answer questions dealing with the consoles themselves (hardware questions). I cannot answer questions about Action Replay. I cannot answer questions about football, basketball, or wrestling sports games. I also have very limited knowledge about Xbox & Xbox 360 games unless they are cross-platform. If it is an independent game that has not been widely published and/or a game only released in some countries, I may not be able to help with it either (sadly!)

Experience

I currently am employed as a supervisor for a large, national video game retailer. I am also an expert here in games/roleplaying games, weddings, childbirth, and doulas. My husband is a computer programmer and one of the forefront coders for CounterStrike: Source scripts & mods. He has his own forums for coders/scripters at Mattie.Info. I have been an expert here since 2000 (under the name of Helen Chipman) and also volunteer on numerous other game-related websites and forums.
