This is STILL an issue with Wine 1.1.26, however **THERE IS A WORKAROUND**

My 1.0 full DVD version of NFS PS was crashing when starting career mode, or a
race, but I followed some instructions to modify a few settings relating to
Direct3d in the registry, as seen here;

You will need to create the key in the Registry. It takes about 1 minute. After
that, everything works great.

I am running Wine 1.1.26 on Ubuntu 9.04 powered by a Core2Duo 2.8Ghz 4Gb Ram
laptop with an Nvidia G105M card plus Nvidia 1.80 video drivers (not beta 1.85
drivers as some people suggest you need). I installed the game on a clean Wine
folder (renamed the existing one) and it installed 100%. It seems to work the
same with or without overriding the native direct3d dll (d3d9). It also seems
to work with or without a N0-DVD patch, so DRM is not an issue.
