The more damage you take (be it from the course or ramming into fellow racers), the less you can boost, hurting your chances for victory.

The story goes that, in the 26th century, Formula One races have long since given way to F-Zero races: incredibly dangerous, high-speed affairs sponsored by wealthy ex-space merchants who have came to the accurate conclusion that seeing people risk their lives going thousands of kilometers per hour on the most insane race tracks known to man or alien would be a fantastic way to get the masses to gamble. F-Zero is a racing game franchise created by Nintendo that began on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990.
