I remember trying (and funding) Reincarnation and finding it hard to really explore the physics, as it lacked set-pieces and seemed less fun when compared to Carmageddon 2. It's possible that I played after the big physics downgrade of maybe 2015 [1], or on a machine that couldn't handle it.

I do wish there was a way to set up physics demonstrations, in all the games, for comparison with other engines. Certainly, the common boxes-made-of-jelly issue [2] is something I'm sure you wouldn't see from Carmageddon, though you'd probably see devastating performance issues with that same test.

Carmageddon 2 did notably lack (as far as I could tell) simulations of aerofoils and other surface dynamics and their effects on handling; cars seemed to be modelled as near-blocks as far as drag was concerned.
