I like the fact that it all evens out at certain points of the race. It balances out the randomness of some of the events. Most of the time the race is luck. It doesn't really depend on your traveling skills or whatnot. For example, picking the right object out of a dozen. If you pick the right one quickly you get to move on quickly. OTH, if you are not good at guessing which one to pick you are out of luck and may get eliminated.
