@Matte I haven't found that. I mean, luck is definitely involved of course, because it has dice, but with good preparation, you can mitigate the luck elements, and it becomes more a game of longer term planning than make or break based on a single roll.
That being said, Rallyman Dirt also has an interesting change that addresses part of that. The lead player rolls different white dice to the other players, with a slightly higher chance of failure. So being in first place for too long increases your risk, but giving up first place makes it hard to be certain you'll get it back.
