After testing out Colin McRae 2005 with the key repeat turned off, I realized it doesn't actually stop the issue from happening. The good news here is that apparently, I can just slap on my USB gamepad and the game picked it up just fine. Wine has come a long way now. Good stuff!

Ubuntu and keyboard key repeat issue
For a while now, I've tolerated the issue of playing Wine games and having problems with the keyboard key repeats. This involved getting killed in Mass Effect and crashing cars in Colin McRae 2005. So, I thought I should dig up on this issue and see just what the hell is happening.
As it turns out, this is caused by a known Xorg bug in Ubuntu 9.04 (lucky me). This discussion thread provides all the details that you need to know on the issue. What I did to alleviate the issues on my end is:
System > preferences > keyboard > key repeat
