This area was not redrawn.

During race, Colin McRae Rally 2.0 draws neither road nor other
background (see attached picture), i.e. the game is unplayable.

This affects both the commercial and the demo version, available from
http://downloads.gamezone.com/demosfiles/t1582.htm

This may be a driver issue. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 with the Intel XOrg
video driver.

This could as well be a "Wine's DirectX6 not good enough" issue.
The in-game graphics selection menu displays no other "choice" than
"DirectDraw HAL", i.e. only DirectX6 is recognized.

Indeed, during install, a requester says "your machine is not ... for
DirectX7". The DirectX7a installer is distributed with the game.
So this could be a DirectX7 detection issue.

Alas, the game's configuration (Configuration/*.rcf) is a binary file, so I
cannot change the graphics driver.

Default trace output is attached. It contains a lot of
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_convert_format Cannot find a conversion function from
format WINED3DFMT_DXT5 to WINED3DFMT_A4R4G4B4
with XxYx16bit or
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_convert_format Cannot find a conversion function from
format WINED3DFMT_DXT5 to WINED3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
with a XxYx32bit resolution setting.
Could that be related to the missing background?
