Need more info.
There are many types of car-racing games.
Do you want it to be 3d, 2d? first-person, third-person, top-down, etc.
The correct tool is the one which does the specific job best.
We don't know what the job is so we can't help you choose a tool.

Also, my idea is to have a centralised Python server which acts as a dispachter to send the coordinate and other information to the gaming clients.On 10/4/06,

If you want it to be 3d, you have a couple'o choices...
Pygame with the PyopenGL interface,
Panda3d,
Soya,
PyOgre,
and perhaps others.
The only one I've used was Panda3d, and I didn't get very far, so I 
can't comment on that.  I can say, though,
I've played Disney's Toontown game, which is a 3d mmorpg made with 
Panda3d, so yes, it's possible to make 3d networked games in Python :)

 Also, my idea is to have a centralised Python server which acts as a 
dispachter to send the coordinate and other information to the gaming 
clients.

For your networking, you'll probably want to use Twisted.

HTH,
