So I just saw Fury Road last night. I now want to run a Car Wars game.

Could work. People have also suggested GURPS Post-Apocalypse/Cars and Gorkamorka. There's a few settings where such a game could work.

I'd probably use GURPS for the rest of the game with Car Wars for the vehicle combat. I don't think Car Wars has a robust system for the non-vehicle parts, though I could be wrong.

There's a tabletop game made by Steve Jackson Games.

Isn't Car Wars one of those terribly over-fiddly simulationist games? I've never played it, but my housemate has told me some horror stories from the 90's.

Atomic Highway does a decent job for Mad Max style roleplaying and GorkaMorka was a fun skirmish wargame.

I love GURPS to death and it's my favorite system, but I honestly would advice /against/ using it for Mad Max. GURPS aims to be realistic, and doesn't cover the mechanics that are involved with a fury road-esque campaign that well.

The chase rules in GURPS Action 2 are actually a fairly decent set of rules for fast-paced vehicle action which don't get bogged down in fiddly details.

But overall, I think I'd recommend Atomic Highway as the go-to system for Mad Max style games. Apart from anything else it actually has a useable vehicle design system. Also, the best random loot tables ever.
