Try to attack instead of race any time it's possible and use all sides B seem like good suggestion too. Thank you!
Yes, you should think of it primarily as a combat game with a race victory condition. Through that lens it becomes interesting to find weak points to crash into and cause chaos, find the right targets to shoot at with your chopper, etc. The only time you should be very careful about eliminating someone is if someone else will clearly cross the finish line if it gets added.
If everybody only treats it as a race, it could be an endless treadmill.
