heh, well yes, it might seem so, but in fact I had a huge stash of 'homing missiles'
I just got *very* lucky with trading. I could have simply killed them all at beginning of that last race but then I remembered it would seem like cheating so they were used as last resort.
of course the most difficult track is actually 6th. I managed to finish that one as first only a couple of times without being the 'last man standing'
