Chariot Race unexpanded from tape. Why does it require 8K expansion from disk?

I bought Chariot Race back in the day and remember it working on an unexpanded Vic20.
(Was one of my favourites, along with Shadowfax).
As I’m not a big “media” collector (I just don’t have the room these days), I use a Tapuino to play .tap files into my Commodes (Sic), when I want to kick it oldskool. (yuck!)
I found a .tap file of Chariot Race which works on the unexpanded Vic, but can only locate .d64 files which require the 8K expansion.
Did converting this game to load from disk force the use of a RAM expander? There are MANY other unexpanded games which run from disk…
