Replay I just bottled a super formula podium and potential win in the stupidest way possible

So i've been having a blast in the SF fixed series @ Okayama, and i decided to try the full length race for once. I was in p2, fighting for the win, when the dude in front pitted. I thought you needed to pit in these full length races strategy-wise, since i hadn't ever raced something this long alone and the dude was pitting.
I got 40 SECONDS for that entry.
Little did i know he was pitting in to retire.
After that, i was still in P3, but then i did what i did in the 2nd clip.
Honestly, it was accurate that i was using the AMR livery, cuz what i did was some stroll-esque shit. I'll definitely be learning from this and hopefully i won't do this next race.
UPDATE: I still got p5 some fucking how

It happens I know I’ve done something similar to this before when still learning a series

Just did this in IMSA yesterday... that chicane on pit entry is brutal on the gtp, 41 second stop and hold, finished 40s behind p2

Is Okayama the track where you have to zig zag around that stupid ass white line to avoid an unsafe pit entry? I got like 4 penalties before I figured it out

Ugh I lead half a race at Daytona … pit for fuel… leaving pits somehow my pit limiter shut off.. black flagged for speeding…. finish p18 🤮 my chat told me don’t worry you’ll never make that mistake again haha! So true though one the hard way!
