I was invited to the 2023 KART RACE OF CHAMPIONS (KROC). This is one of the premier rental karting events in the world. While it takes place at Buckmore Park in the UK, there were drivers from all around the world competing for the ultimate title of champion of champions. This is an invite-only event, and all drivers came from sort of rental karting pedigree. I am a rental karting champion myself (many years ago), but I was invited as one of two WILD CARD drivers. Safe to say, I got my ass whooped having severely underestimated the amount of preparation I'd need for this event, but hopefully you all found it entertaining lol...

I Learned Karting Because Of You Thanks Ur The Greates Karter I’ve eve Seen

[@johnnytopgun6414]

You're not being that guy, I guarantee your kart isn't equal to the others. The maintenance schedule on rentals are always like that, then suddenly it flips.

[@johnnytopgun6414]

Real life lootboxes basically

[@theNikNikovsky]

Why did you accept this offer.

[@CamronGemert]

I personally think the way the #7 reacted to the little bump was uncalled for.

[@RG-Reactor]

I think #7 was obviously slower in turn 1. He clearly brakes way to early

[@sharvilraut5869]

Such an insightful and down to earth vid that makes these intense competitions relatable to the average viewers. Rlly like to see this kind of stuff!

[@user-oc7ll9sv5r]

this is a kiss at best not a bump at all if this is what qualifies as being aggressive then those ppl. need to stop karting and find a safe space !!! YOU ARE RACING NOT DRIVING A TAXI

[@JXUS11]

Hey man, just finished watching the video last night and I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved it, incredible stuff and if you ever get the chance to do something like this again imo you should definitely make a video about it, loved the sort of documentary vibe you put into it as well lol, big supporter of you man, keep on grinding.

[@kuksenko_karting]

Great editing skills, well balanced video with quite not much budget for it. It seems you hit the rental karting racing for the first time. Not bad at all. Thanks for lighting up such a sport.

[@isaacbutters7574]

Man this is amazing, Keep the Great work up

[@racing_prodigy]

Great video, Cameron - love seeing your experience at the event. Don't forget your lead next time! 😆

[@alexjones4591]

Great video! Hope to see you back next year. Club 73 usually do a race there the day before, which is a good warm up for KROC.

[@jonnywilson5294]

Hey, this was a great watch, really entertaining. I loved KROC, was sooo close to winnning it. Hope to see you at the next one fighting at the front 💪 🙏

[@aaronhughes3648]

These heat races at Buckmore can get very aggressive but I really don't see anything wrong with your overtakes in the final. I also notice someone must have advised you to bounce in the kart to get better traction off the line at the start. I won the Man of steel lightweight championship here in the hire karts a few years ago and miss the track since moving abroad.

[@jmrgaming8122]

Quality video Cameron, great stuff, I'll have to try get involved in this competitive rental karting somehow😈

[@Go-Karting]

Awesome footage & driving skills. Keep up the good work!

[@j.9465]

also 11:45 yeah it's gonna lead to you getting swarmed because thats how competitive outdoor karting is. gotta try and think about all the factors when racing ✌

[@KartingLegends]

I really love your content! im just getting started with gas go karting and just got my own go kart! your content is very inspiring and very cool.

[@harryeden2958]

With that issue near 11 mins you definitely have the right of way, had Marshalls that do outdoor karting tell me that as long as the kart is minimum 1/3 along side the kart in front they gotta leave room

[@Sebastianraikkonen_actualname]

I did this in 2021 was at Brighton that year followed by SRK. Also recommended, Club 100 drivers often do SRK & BRKC as well, both series have top shelf drivers. KROC brings in a good mix. Also the taping on lead is to stop damage to the kart and your clothes.

[@user-pl5tv3wv8m]

Incredible video, keep up the amazing work man. nice vid man always exciting to see you upload love your vids.

[@yert6661]

Would love to see a video on your tips to be quick in a low powered rental. i.e. driving style, lines.

[@KartingBishop]

Yet Another Great Video! It Can Be VERY Hard When You Don't Know The Track Of Your Head But It's Great To See You Improving Throughout The Races! Keep It Up 👍

[@Suicaedere666]

Incredible video, keep up the amazing work man

[@syedwalirashid6789]

nice vid man always exciting to see you upload love your vids

[@k4rtbros]

👏 nice edit. Enjoyed that 👍

[@jackracing4346]

@11:30 the rule at buckmore is that you have to be half a kart along side to calm it as your corner and the driver on the outside has to back off

[@DomMracing]

Another day, another great vid! Keep it up!

[@veesedwhy]

Just a quick question about the dive you made at the end of the video. I'm really not aware about anything when it comes to karting and not the best racing steward but I just don't understand how that dive was bad? I mean, if you can't dive down the inside then what is racing? Especially in cars that don't have a massive tow. He also left the inside open and you were next to him at the apex, so how did you force contact when he could've just accepted the overtake and not turn into you? This is such a common move in racing but maybe it is different in karting. Great video tho.

[@K_Kra87]

love your vids cam!

[@jorisvw]

If driver A is not at least 50% alongside the inside of driver B entering the turn and driver B gets tapped and suffers a significant loss of time, without rider B losing a position, a warning will follow for driver A. this the rule for overtaking in the netherlands, and i think alot of other countries/championships. i think this is also why some drivers put their hand up, because even tho you were alongside, youre not alongside enough.

[@BWB_Cubing]

Finnally a new vid

[@MaxBarreiroESP]

hello cameron what camera do you use and how do you put the circuit the laps en the velocity of the kart?

[@rhysdent5189]

UK karting scene is pretty serious with rental teams being pretty common at most rental events. some even extend to national competitions.

[@SuellioAlmeida]

I would love to go to europe to participate in these rental kart events!!! I'll start planning lol

[@gwiracing]

Buckmore park is great and the downhill section is crazy and the drivers are very agressive I got shunted in to the grass up the hill and race control said that it was my fault 😂

[@1985slipstream]

Right dude. 12:14 if you knew you came out that corner slow and were in danger of getting overtaken you should go devensive straight away as the next corner is a late apex great for overtaking oportunity. You also looked behind just as you entered the corner and then went wide. if you had gone defensive straight away the guy behind has to either follow behind you or go wide then he is a risk of getting overtaken. You would then have turned a bad corner exit into a decent gap as they are side by side and you have all the way up the hill to get away with a gap. This is very similar to the infield left hander it is also a late apex. The difference is you could get switched back on coming out of it but again anyone behind you risks themselves getting dived on. Similarly you have all the way down the hill to get away. Short answer STOP looking behind going into corners.

[@danielhenderson8768]

come to the big kart track at australia if you can, super fun track!

[@BWB_Cubing]

0:32 true it can be competitive

[@teambert679]

In my rental league, you need to have “dominant” overlap to have rights. That’s defined for us as the rear wheels of the leading cart being in line with the front wheels of the trailing cart. So some of the instances where you ask for opinions looked like dominant overlaps, but the final one with car 15 wasn’t quite “dominant” since it was just your nose in there.

[@M0zZd]

Hey Cameron, I just wanted to let you know that you are going quite wide on those turns so maybe keep it a bit tighter. I am not trying to sound rude if it comes across that way. All that aside, absolutely LOVE your content.

[@Axoboos]

11:24 he definitely turned in on you. You were up alongside him

[@GirthyNut]

Famous racecar driver 🙌🙌🙌

[@technix5609]

11:25 you had right of way. It was your line. You were a half kart-length on him and gaining. he couldn't do that without spinning, it's his fault that happened

[@roeoneill9158]

In race 3 I’d say that he definitely should’ve given you some room, but as the gap closed it would’ve been good to give him space, again, that’s my opinion and he was at fault

[@TyFairclough]

Buckmore is the only place I've been lapped, the standard there is high even on a regular day.

[@Axoboos]

1:16 thats my weight and im 176cm tall 😭 that was a great race man !!!

[@cambuurleeuwarden]

Great video first off. However the whole video feels like 'please give me a hug I know I was outclassed but I still want to hear the opposite so badly'. Either you're doing that narrative for the views or you really don't see that. I hope it's the former. 15:50 what do you need opinion on? Your already state that he holds his brake well beyond the apex, which is hard to see from your POV but I guess I would concur. Then again, what the hell was your plan/setup for that corner? And to be honest with my short viewing time of your driving that seems to be lacking, strategy and planning ahead.

[@leonkennedy1405]

I’d love to get into doing this, it’d be so fun! I’m so jealous 🥺

[@j.9465]

11:20 not far enough along side the driver in front of you for it to be a move that was on or gonna happen

[@elouanguillou5885]

He saw in the third race you can see his head tilt

[@calamitymanplayz8493]

i have done some rental karting there 100% the best turn is the double hairpin

[@tylershrigley6413]

He must have thought either a: you backed off or b: the other guy on the outside had no room as well, the driver on the outside did seem to have some room, but it could just be the angle. If anything, it is more a racing incident because everyone is pushing so hard.

[@wriggs888]

cant believe we didnt get 8 different videos and 17 shorts from this day.

[@claytonselway1617]

I live right by buck more park that’s mental

[@andreagiagnorio5775]

No mate u are absolutely not wrong, overlap turn in is ILLEGAL in any motorsport

[@DavidMadden77]

you need at least half a kart of overlap to have the right of way on the inside.

[@Thijs_VDP]

Damn there is alot of bumping going on in these races. where i drive its not allowed we instantly get a warning if marshals see it

[@santoskartracing]

bora pro kart!!!

[@xduga9435]

I race in rental karting and it has to overlap atleast half a kart when you can legaly overtake when it's less then most of the time you have too back off

[@georgemickleburgh1279]

18 completely turned in on you if you use the reference of the white line on the right hand side and you kept it quite tight

[@Simon-zv4hi]

Brave to enter a race without much experience of this kind of event or Buckmore and put it on You Tube ! I would have booked a practice or two before the event, you’re lucky it wasn’t raining ! The driving standards looked normal for hire karting, I agree with the turn 1 brake testing. You could make an argument, that you used the annoyed guy as a brake into hairpin 1. I find the more you push the track limits the faster you go, especially in the wet, which is why they added red paint and barriers to stop people taking the piss. You should have pushed the gas a little bit before the start, and a wider squarer entry into the first hairpin works for me. The weird uphill penultimate corner annoys me and rewards anybody who dives up the inside. I never look behind me in a kart!

[@NishaunRacing]

Buckmore is one of the most technical tracks i've driven. 1 simple mistake and you'll lose 5-10 places.

[@goofiest-ahh]

nice vid

[@xdemondude]

To me, it looks like they are just diving on your lane when you've already established it going into the apex. Most races I've done treat it like this as well.

[@easyweaver9691]

#7 had a mate in front 😂

[@Greatest_Scott]

This is actually really enjoyable to watch especially compared to those cringey NPC videos Youre growing up into a fine amateur racer.

[@tonotome]

18:44 is it just me or the guys in last leaning to the outside of the turn is going quicker and with more grip? Is it better to lean out?

[@kostas3516]

0:01 Bro really said Cameron Daias

[@h3m1v33]

i was karting yesterday and there was a guy going aggressive to the inside and nearly ramming me of the track. yeah he was much faster, cause it was my first time with a normal cart (usually im only e karting). thing is the normal karts are loud and thx to your engine you cant hear shit, in e karting you only hear screaming tyres which can tell you the location of others behind you. on top you dont have tight 90-180 degree corners back to back, where you see if someone is like 1-2 kart lenghts behind you. on the normal track i was constantly turning my head, but tbh you cant see shit. if someone is driving in your back you have no clue if he is sending it into the corner or not, you have no clue if 5cm of his cart are beside you, rdy to spin your kart. in my opinion in e karting the one in front can easily determine if he can close the door or not, in regular karting it was at least on our track simply not possible. my friend did the same thing you did to a kid, he did just send it. the kid had no clue he was comming and we had a 3 way collision, cause my friend got thrown back into my racing line and i got send onto the grass. the person in the back has to be the one to not overdo it for normal karting and in e karting both are able to to keep an eye out for it. and im not talking about a little bump. like in every sport a little bit of contact is fine, it happens we miss a breaking point or the one in front breaks a bit earlier then usual. but break checking, sending it into a corner you will never get even if there was no other kart driving leroy jenkins style and this stuff is going to far.

The reason you lost race 3 was because u kept taking those turns too wide and it just gave every driver a chance to get past you. You also might want to use slip stream you looked like you were driving scared and was trying to avoid everyone. You have to be aggressive is a race at the end of the day everyone is trying to get 1st.
