DirectX 3d graphics profy

This is going to be online racing game. Currently need to create single PC demo (no online stuff yet). Car racing. Fixed length track, just need car animation for this. Wheels rotating and wheels traction. Not "need for speed" but should be realistic. Somebody with experience in car racing games is greatly appriciated. I see this made with C++ (Visual C), or Delphi (currently checking DelphiX).
