There are too many racing games to know what you or your kids would
like. Assuming you've installed the *proprietary* drivers for your
graphics card and you know what the wine program is then setting up
mythgame is easy. What I've done to set up mythgame is have a
/home/user/mythgame directory and have a small script for each game
which goes like this...

#!/bin/bash
/usr/games/bin/whatevergame

...for non windows games and like this...

#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/game
wine whatevergame.exe

...for windows games.
