So I guess you run TORCS in a window, and it happens just "sometimes, 
but not always"?

Do you use the Nvidia graphic driver? A problem is if you run TORCS in a 
window and the window is covered (partly or full) the the capturing of 
the map fails. I suspect this is an OpenGL driver "optimization" 
problem, because the map is not rendered and captured in this case. Btw. 
the same happens with the rear mirror if the TORCS window is covered. 
The only solution I see for that is using pbuffers where they are 
available (look in the TODO in grtrackmap.cpp). The reason why I did not 
implement that yet, is because it is platform dependent (WGL/GLX).
