The messiest, most exhausting, and yet most epic videogame race I've ever played, probably, the Malaysian GP on F1 2013. Practice and Q1 went well enough, but I got run over by Sutil halfway through Q2, missing out on the rest of the session for repairs and starting in twelfth place. The race started under heavy rain, and Hulkenberg caused a pileup right on the first corner. I somehow slid out of control into seventh place without hitting anybody and spent the next several laps climbing to second only to run past Rosberg recovering from a spinout and take first, but lost it a few laps later to Hamilton who started building a massive 30 seconds gap. I held on, barely, during the deluge when until the rain eventually gave in. The track started to dry around lap 32, I had switched to intermediates a lap early and managed to gain a little back on Hamilton. Around lap 46 everyone went for soft tires. 5 laps to go, Hamilton still held first with a gap of 39 seconds, only to retire with a blown engine, leaving me in first with over 30 seconds on Rosberg on worn out tires. Then, on the last lap, this happened:
That's Vergne, spinning out and pulling back into the track right as I went by. I didn't see him until I was much closer due to a godamn antenna on the FW35's already tall nose blocking my view. Get that shit out of there! Exhaustion from the last 55 laps didn't help either.
And that's about how close I came to not finishing. Somehow I managed to avoid him and cruise to the finish with Rosberg and Alonso not too far behind.
Professional difficulty and full race events make for a great challenge and some surprising results in career mode. I finished practice in 8th and qualified 12th, my goal was seventh and that's what I was aiming for. I didn't win because I was the fastest, I won out of sheer, dumb luck.
So, what about you Oppo, what was the wackiest, messiest or most epic race you've ever had on a game?
