Found a F3 lobby running on Brands Hatch late last night (something like 10:50 PM EST) and decided to give it a shot, as I had had enough MW3 for the day. I see '20 Lap Enduro' or something related to that.
Went in, began messing around with the settings in order to better the car. (Meaning screwing it up, I sometimes have no idea what I'm doing with tuning.)
Not realizing what I'd done to the car by messing with the settings, I left racing hards on in the back, with racing mediums in the front.
I qualify somewhere around 6th out of 12, so not the best position to start, but a decent one nonetheless. Host purposely put in a bad time so he could watch for any trouble at the back of the grid.
Start of the race, and I find myself on the outside of another driver heading into the hairpin. Instantly, me and the 5th place guy found ourselves in the wall, as apparently the 8th place driver ran into the 7th, who then hit us. Host gives out a warning, as we continue, now down in 9th and 10th.
The rammer's made his way up to 5th by the 4th lap, with us (me and the guy I got shoved off with - we'll call him pushed-off) chasing him (and, because of my aggressive driving style, the front tires are starting to give out, giving me worsening understeer.)
Going into Surtees after getting an excellent run through Graham Hill, I poke my nose under him (the rammer), and he cuts right across in front of me. He gets loose, allowing pushed-off to escape through on the outside and begin his charge to the lead.
Knowing he's going to either dive-bomb into P-O or brake-check me into Hawthorns, I roll off the throttle - and he tries a brake-check, allowing me to slip past on the inside, and make a charge forward.
I actually had to pit twice when everyone else did it once; the pit decided to spit me out the first time without changing tires or anything. Uneventful until the final lap
Final lap, and I'm somehow in 4th (three drivers ahead of me after the 2nd pitstop had a massive crash at Surtees on lap 17, no idea how it happened) with the rammer behind me, and closing in. I'm catching P-O, as he pitted earlier than everyone else & said he was losing grip at a fast rate. Hawthorns is coming up again, and I know I'm going to get dive-bombed by the rammer.
I purposely carry too much speed into the turn, hoping I can bounce off the wall and keep going - which was successful, as the rammer tried to use me as a rolling chicane and missed.
Final turn, and I slip by P-O on the outside to take a podium finish - as a massive explosion of swearing erupts from the TV - guess the rammer was beyond pissed that I'd outfoxed him (well, not really.)
Host kicks him after we'd explained what had happened (and muted the rammer.)
Get a sweary PSN message about 30 seconds later, telling me to "go 🤬 in your own mouth you 🤬"
Replied 'enjoy the block' and blocked him.
) so maybe he was angry that he couldn't afford it.
