I haven't used a version of MAME newer than v.170, but the problem always was that the game was meant to be played with a 360 degree wheel that had no real center and could spin endlessly.
When you wreck, the game resets the center point. This isn't a problem for a 360 degree wheel. But if you're holding an analog control all the way left when you crash, that's the new center and you cant turn any further left.
In my experience, the game just isn't playable with analog (potentiometer based) controls.
