Can I say,'I may or might or could have won the car race with your motivation, but you didn't show up.'? Do they mean almost the same? The meaning is maybe I would have won the car race with your motivation but you didn't show up.

You can say any of these, depending on the meaning you wish to express. " “Might have” expresses a possibility of winning. “May have” expresses a slightly better chance of winning.
