When launching RC Cars, the game exception handler kicks in and displays the
following message:
'Hardware exception: Access violation. Exception address: 0x7BC355F5'. 
Thus the game fails to start.

I found out that one of the game options, namely 'NET_Init' in the config file
(Config.gm) must be disabled and the game will start normally. Unfortunately
this makes multiplayer unavailable in the game...

Installing native directplay components via winetricks doesn't resolve the
problem.

Maybe it gives a clue on the problem that the game's own debug log file always
ends with:
error: IDirectPlay8Peer_EnumServiceProviders() failed

error: _netProvInit() failed

Probably not only directplay is involved, something else is missing, too.

The demo linked in the URL field can be used for testing the problem but the
installer of the demo hits bug #28006.
You need to install the demo with 1.3.22 (or older) until bug #28006 gets
fixed.
