Sounds like MegaRace 2, both available on ZOOM Platform or bundled with MegaRace on GOG.

This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.

Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms
You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.
If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.

maybe megarace 2? https://store.steampowered.com/app/733760/MegaRace_2/ for screnshots etc. It does look quite rusty and gunky in that 90s 3d way
Does seemingly have a car called "Vipper" https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_e7039c00bf6dd7e601ee9dd8681a9516c6c4854a.1920x1080.jpg
edit: oh, the reward doors? https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_743a183a64b993def3bc62e66b59cbe761430d3b.1920x1080.jpg
Yes! This must be it. I did not expect it to be on Steam, I'll try it out. I forgot most of the interface, but it does being back memories.
That was quick, thanks so much.
I love this game. Horrible controls, bad car physics, but beautiful (for the time) pre-rendered FMV tracks and dumb cutscenes.
lots of old games on steam, but worth noting that it's on sale over at gog - generally old games tend to work better out-of-the-box from there, but YMMV
Genre: Racing, vehicular combat
Estimated year of release: mid to late '90s?
Notable gameplay mechanics: racing, option to get a weapon on your car
Have a N.I.C.E day checks these boxes. I don't know about the three doors though.
