Okay, it is the ini.
If you open the ini, you see it has sections like
[ NewTrackSettings | TrackSize ]
instead of
[NewTrackSettings | TrackSize]
Those spaces break Wine. Should be easy to fix though...
I can confirm that manually removing the spaces fixes loading the INI in-game (and presumably fixes loading in the config utility too). Hopefully this is a simple fix in Wine, I imagine there are probably other apps out there running into this issue.
