The only DLL files copied into the directory is d3dx9_30.dll
d3dx9_36.dll The rest is installed with TrackMania.

The wrap_oal.dll is to be obtained (overwriting the default version)
from the link in the howto:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11595&iTestingId=23565

I'm not sure if both d3dx9 SLL files are neccesary, instructions
seemed to conflict so I used both. I obtained my version from the
DirectX August 2880 redistributable
(http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C1367BC3-4676-481A-BFAA-5C15D1D7199D&displaylang=en),
installed with a slightly modified winetricks (which wanted to
download an older version, which I did not want to do since I already
downloaded the newer version and internet data is expensive in South
Africa) into a seperate WINEPREFIX. (The version that winetricks
downloads should work as well, but do not install DirectX into the
same WINEPREFIX as TrackMania / other games it will break stuff...)

Run the game through the launcher until it works... Try setting the
settings to a minimum first and increasing it slowly once it is
working.
