Here's another example. I was in first place at a big race and 5 minutes (out of 10) into the a main, I started getting caught up with lap traffic, 2nd place 15 seconds behind. I spent a few laps trying to get past, we got tangled up once or twice, and after that 2nd place was right before me. I went a foot wide in a corner and he passed me with 1 lap left, I ended up placing 2nd.
