I've had that happen rarely as well. Somehow your client just forgets to advance properly. We used to have an extra-long countdown timer so such issues wouldn't end your day.
Super fun race. Had a pole lap going but lost it on the turn before the back straight. 0.090 separated the top three as I recall. Got off the line from P2 well and into the lead. DJC and I swapped it a few times early on (with some good old-fashioned rubbin'-is-racin' in the banked turn a couple times). Eventually I decided to stay in line and try to pull away from DC and Ed, which we did.
I pitted a couple laps later hoping clear track would help, but without the draft on the back straight the lap times weren't there, and I had to check up for a spun car once. Then I nearly sped into pit lane so was down to 50 mph for a while, which certainly didn't help. Came out of the pits three seconds behind DJC. Got it down to under a second with a lap and a half to go, but overcooked the final turn which overheated my tyres, so I couldn't push through the Esses, then overshot my braking into the right-hander after the Esses. That was that, so I just brought it home P2. So close!
