What works
Installs normally and runs steadily (doesn't crash). Online racing, activation, tracks, cars, settings and single player works. Basically everything worked, which has not been mentioned below.
What does not
Trying to switch to full screen makes the whole computer freeze up completely. Audio clutters a bit here and there, not always constanly though. Sometimes everything starts to sound awful and earbleeding without no obvious reason, which goes away by restarting the game. Game has random drops of fps, which happens without any clear reason, although this doesn't happen very often. When the fps drops, no key or mouse inputs are usually noticed by the game.

Additional Comments
Everything was tested, online racing, singleplayer, with and without AI's, different track's, car's, track layouts, setups and game settings etc. D3DX9 libraries had to be installed, other libraries dind't seem to make any difference to the problems mentioned above. Changing wine wersion to a few older one's didn't seem to make any positive difference. Tested LFS version was 0.6G with S2 license. Earlier 0.6F version worked very well and would be classified as a "Gold" rating. On 0.6F, only D3DX9 overrides were needed, and otherwise the game ran like on native Windows.
