when starting a race the car stucks in the ground and crashing

I Love the game but it's just unplayable right now, whenever you try and start a level your monster truck gets smashed into the ground endlessly making it impossible to play, please let me know if it's just my issue but i seen other people have the same problem,...

pls <3

So I had this game as a kid on disc. I just want to say that the preservation of classic through Steam is a thing I fully support, this was the knockoff to Monster Truck Madness that I played as a kid, as soon as that trailer music started I was immediately taken back to playing this game on a very old Compaque Presario....
