What works
Startup works perfectly, can browse the main menu. If you go to the garage the cars will load very slowly and you can see some flickering on the models. The game detects and communicates with my G27 steering wheel.
What does not
Gameplay - If you load a race in career or quick play it will crash at the moment that everything is loaded and the screen is about to display the cars and track. Wine does not automatically close out, it displays a windows style error with debug info.
Installer - Does not install the game correctly. In wine it will jump past a few screens on the install wizard and it shows it's installing but doesn't actually copy anything. Then a wine Debug Assert Message displays on the screen as detailed in a bug report below.
