Bruce, I would give the game another chance; first, it sounds like you are on a small, tight track--move to another and the racing style can change dramatically. Also, your auriga's skill and chariot's construction can make a big difference. I tried to avoid the kind of tracks it sounds like you're on, and also avoided some factions. I've completed four epic campaigns, so have run more than a few races, and can't say that the negative events occurred more often than the positive or neutral ones; I was never really sure, but sometimes it seems that they are context-sensitive: when you are doing well, there are more negative events, when you're getting your but kicked, more positive events. Also, I found that at least on occasion I could win despite almost any of the negative events; I think that only one I have not won with is the "bribed auriga" event where my guy brakes after the first turn. With most other events, you have to be a bit lucky, but you can still win.
