The POV driver is my friend. He is inexperienced and got bullied on track. He should have been more aggressive! If I was driving, it would be tempting to train wreck after the first incident 😂The 'defending driver' eventually got removed from the session and then black listed from the track!

[@offdabeatz]

Simple fix in this case. The driver gave him more than enough opportunity to have an actual race. After so long a simple run from behind to push him to deep into a corner would solve this. Constantly allowing yourself to be beside someone who doesn't want to keep this safe affects everyone. Sending him into a corner to have to become well off pace doesn't. It's the lesser of two evils.

[@stevet5379]

Was thinking the exact same thing after that first lap. He'd have been eating daisy's driving like that with me behind him...lol

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

you have to remember that you have responsibility for damage caused to both vehicle and driver. I'm not THAT eager to race if it means possibly wrecking and having to pay for repairing a kart. what I learned with a similar experience is that it's better to only kart when you have a closed session with friends. it's very hard to gather enough people, but paying to get angry and frustrated with some jack*ss strangers? I'd rather not, thanks

[@offdabeatz]

@gustavogoesgomes1863 The method I am speaking of is not to wreck the driver. Simply moving them out of a racing line to have to become off pace. It is up to track officials (if real racing series) to handle this during the race. Here, they obviously didn't care until after. Intentionally wrecking isn't something I ever recommend because it breeds bad techniques that can only lead to serious injury down the line. Moving people, as I stated, a lesser of two evils should still be a last resort. When we are clearly faster, we need to also be smarter about the lines we take.

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

@@offdabeatz what I wanted to say is that unless you somehow manage to overtake them in a straight and get so far ahead that they can't reach you even in a tight turn, they will "attack" you. even taking a lot of care and looking around me at all times I've got tagged and pushed off track, and I'm sure it would be even worse if I wasn't avoiding them. there was at least three occasions where I was far ahead and I had to open my steering mid corner because the driver behind me was literally coming straight for me. the worst part is that even so, I managed to outrun the bully eventually... wich led me to be stuck behind the next ones. yes, on plural. you don't know how insane things were. I was literally afraid to be near them, and they blocked the track ahead almost all the time. I didn't know how awful a race can be until this day lol

I'd have retaliated off track by ending my session before him, reporting him to staff, and probably waiting for him in the parking lot to determine if he would like to explain why he was ruining my session and if he'd like to try bullying off-track. That was dangerous behavior and he was endangering the POV driver safely.

[@garrykennedy5484]

I think his patience in dealing with this has made him a better driver for it. Dealing with this kind of thing tends to do that. I used to cart race. Timed laps only though, not allowed to be in traffic, But I was in the 48 second club for many years which allowed me to graduate to the 98KUPD sponsored cart. At 57, I am loving this concept of cart racing and may actually look further into it. It's actually pretty exciting to watch. I can only imagine the rush of participating.

He may be an a-hole, but it's the staff's fault that he's allowed to do this.

Could have had plenty of time to pit and get the marshals to do their fuckin job, then gone out and caught back up to where you'd be if still in that battle.

I just punted him as I approached instead of letting him slow me down. Never saw him again. Turns out he rage quit about 40 minutes into the race. Pulled off the track, threw his helmet, stormed out of the building, and was banned from racing at the facility. Turns about several other drivers had made the same decision I had long before I reached it, and he was in last place because even the slowest drivers were lapping him as he was recovering from constant spins. Post-race, the track marshals apologized for the inconvenience and told us we handled the situation well...

Next time, briefly slam the brakes when he pushes you off the track. He will eliminate himself because it becomes a PIT maneuvre. The last thing you see of him is when he crosses in front of you while you turn him around. Another way is to use him as a brake, like suggested in other comments. Preferrably on one of his corners.

[@Stoxkart_12]

He would have ended up with a broken jaw after the race!!!

[@travisclarke8822]

Glad he got removed but after all that, the 1:34 turn ur friend got a perfect t-bone position and I’m sending him straight into the wall 😂 funny how after that turn he’s almost signalling for u to move outside lmfao

[@bogdancaloianu9053]

Why not bump him under braking so he whashes out wide and you are free to go. I go to 6h endurance and have seen the nudge often when someone is trying overly agreasive to defend. But also, never have I seen such an idiot. He runs you wide each time you are beside him.

[@DrR1pper]

The guys an a-hole but you kept yielding him space by going wider as he squeezed you on the outside even on the straights. You should have held position which would have forced him into an uncomfortable tighter line going into the next corners and then you could have easily completed your switch backs, overtaking him completely on exits. Seems to me though that this wasn't on your radar because you were too focused on him (though somewhat understandably because he was being as a-hole). Problem was vision in this case. Just as you should be looking at where you want to go and not where you don't want to go when driving around on your own, the same is true with combatants on the track. Focus on them and you detract from your brain seeing the bigger picture of how to get around a-hole obstacles which is all another driver on the track is.....not the a-hole bit (necessarily) but an obstacle to be gotten around (just like corners) with your peripheral vision and your main vision focused much further ahead of where you're at. This was fundamentally a problem of sub-optimal vision here as you are clearly the much faster driver than the obstacle was.

[@kartingtips]

I agree. The POV driver was my friend. He should have been more aggressive! If I was driving, I would have train wrecked after the first incident 😂

[@s4cells4cell7]

​@@kartingtipsno need for a train wreck. The front driver is very easy to predict in his behaviour. With his superior speed he should have take the inside line way earlier

[@offdabeatz]

@s4cells4cell7 agree wrecking people because of this breeds poor technique. Karting may not bring severe injury, but as you progress, that mentality will in later racing classes.

[@briskxd1093]

​@s4cells4cell7 If it was me I would bump him on one of the braking zones

[@wjrneo2]

This is why if I race karts I need to race karts that have enough power to overcome the limits of the tires. This way driving skill actually comes into play. These karts are simply too slow to make driving skill a major factor when you have someone behaving like this. And if the marshals see you tailgate and push the driver you are viewed as the overly aggressive party because you would have spun the other driver out. The marshals should have been on the lookout for this type of behavior, however we can guess that the marshals in this case are likely Teenagers who have no interest in stopping this passive aggressive behavior.

[@Apex-drifters]

Damm, if I were your friend here I’d forget where the breaks are and the kart would mysteriously bump him into the side walls

[@alfyp4023]

1:09 was like max vs Lewis in Brazil 2021. 😂

[@ScooterMcAwesomeness]

EASY fix for this problem, first thing you do is wait for him to get out of his kart, then, you use your helmet as a hammer and swing it into his face several times until he stops twitching.

[@doggycatalan]

BAHAHA

[@ScooterMcAwesomeness]

@@doggycatalan Dark... but it would be effective.

[@CarTubeR3]

Crazy how he let the other guy overtake him, but the POV driver was still being targeted 😮

[@ba97racing]

There's a point where you just need to move them out of the way and that point happened 30 seconds into the video.

[@phbaketa]

Were you battling against Max Verstappen???

[@thumper7047]

He would do that one or two times then I would (know a turn - lets say right is coming up.) I put my left front near hid right rear and as soon as he begins his turn to the right to negotiate the turn, I would turn hard left, this will quickly and dangerously make him spin hard and out of control. You recover and sial on for the rest of the race. He learned quick what a "pit maneuver" is.

[@DFAST1994]

In cases like this the solution is realy simple. Forgive the unfair play once or twice. The third time either you push him from behind on a curve or on a straight while being beside him, you hit gently his rear with your front and let him spin.

[@apexkilla]

Looks like overtaking the bully was pointless because he couldn’t even stay ahead of him for 2 seconds
