I play a racing game which has random events in some races, your cooling stopped working and you had to retire,is there a way of finding out if these events are random and can they be prevented,in the game people are divided,if they are random can I find away of predicting getting one?

It is difficult to say. This depends on the type of game. What game is it? Is it an online game? If so, then it is quite likely that the "random events" are processed on the game servers so that no one playing can predict it.

If not, then your computer or console is what is processing these events. Through code manipulating devices like the Action Replay devices, or trainers (programs that inject or change in-game code), you could prevent or choose these "events".

But to give you a definitive answer, we would need more details.
