In race two I had a good race going. Was running about P6 when I signaled for a pit stop at the end of lap 5. When I pulled into the pits there were 2 or 3 cars there but no arrow marking my box. All I could do is drive through and go around for another lap. I laid off the gas as much as possible (to not be dangerous) but couldn't quite make it all the way around. Out of gas. End of race. 
How could this be? I signaled for the stop as I ran down to Stavelot. That's where I signaled during qualy to test it and that worked. I saw an arrow marking my spot at end of that lap. Someone suggested I may have run over the pit entrance line which would cancel the request. Looking at my replay I can see that I came very close but the only cameras I seem to be able to use don't show definitely if I did or didn't touch the line. Is there server data to explain why my pit stop was canceled? Could it have been an issue of not enough boxes to go around? Maybe my space was already occupied? I'd kind of like to know. It was a very disappointing end to one of my best (partial) races.
P.S. Jesus, sorry for squeezing you on race 2 lap 1 after Eau Rouge. After recovering from a near miss with the wall I didn't know you were there. Glad you reacted to save us both.
