Race Driver : GRID

What works

Installation via 'wine control' 'Add/Remove Programs'

Starting game, Intro video, Menus, Sound.

Creating a profile

Starting a race

Changing settings

Install process added OpenAL to program list.

What does not

Almost everything was rendered black and white.  Making the game virtually unplayable (like racing at night with no headlights).  Chalking up to video driver deficencies.

 When asked to restart game for setting changes, first few times will exit Wine.  Manual restart resumes process.

Workarounds
