dpkg -L <package-name>

tells you all files installed by <package-name>

You particularly need:

dpkg -L torcs

Pipe it to more, so that you can see the full list.

NB: whereis (or which) won;t fnd it for root because games are not in root's 
path.

slocate might not have worked because the overnight cron job to update the 
database has not yet been run...
