The racer mini game is complete garbage

How do you even win these. There's little to no skill It's all just chance and it sucks. I hit on 3500 and shift it on 8k everytime and I always lose. How do you even get perfect on the 3500? Stupid minigame And even the slightest fuck up on the 8k will have you in last place. Is this shit for anyone else too? How are these people that i've seen at the top for every mini game winning these shits. It makes no sense. Do they have some sort of hacking software or sm? It's legit just hell.
