I'm amazed how many people confuse "requiring some degree of luck" with "having no skill at all' This isn't like playing the lottery. Clearly the fact that some people win a statistically significant portion of races proves that luck isn't the only factor.
"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
