That was a wrecker. He took off the guy that was in 5th (ended 6th as I suspect he got damaged) just before you caught up to them. Then he tried to push you off several times (with me watching behind you two) before going wide in the final turn. I passed him on the straight. He attempted to ram me into T1, but I saw him coming in the mirror and jinked left. He promptly disconnected. If I get time tomorrow I'm going to file a protest on him, and urge you to do the same. Hopefully the guy that got taken out sends a protest as well and the wrecker gets banned for a long time.
Regarding blue flags: (I was in 3rd for the first half of the race, but got caught out by that you didn't need to pit, so lost most of a lap waiting for the refueling and exited the pits a handful of seconds in front of you.) As a backmarker it was difficult to decide when you were close enough to let you by, as our lap times were more or less identical +/- 0.2s. As soon as you were < 1s behind me I moved over on the back straight, and I hope the laps you spent catching me was ok. (There were a couple of other cars, 7th and 8th, that I also lapped that I had to overtake as if we were fighting for position.)
All in all, it was a shame that half the field was kicked because of checksum mismatch. It would have been a lot more entertaining with more cars around. I also agree with those that have said that this car is better suited for 20 minute races.
