Since I cannot be of great help with your calculus problems
(intergals? Ah yes, but that was two years ago :) ) myay I offer an
alternative solution? As I understand the problem, you don't want to
have to calculate all previous steps when doing an animation. Why
don't you use the file I/O directives to write the current state
(position, linear velocity etc.) of the car and then, in the next
frame, read it and continue your calculations from there? It is a
commonly used technique for doing non-predictable discrete
calculations such as modelling a particle system. 

If I haven't understood your problem, please excuse me.
