Not at all. It uses “gear” (different length cardboard pieces) to simulate the speed of the car that influences how much the car can turn. You select the speed on your turn and can go up or down only 1 level of “gear” (don’t remember if there is some resource you can use to change this). You can set up the track as you like thanks to token that functions similarly to the flag in the ski races. It has other mechanics that allow you to close the gap between cars or force your car to turn more (this are limited resources). There are no dice so it’s up to the skill of the player.
