Laguna Superkart Crash 2012

Started from the back for the main final. Came through the pack until a guy turned left on a straight road to escape the sound measurement booth.

[@TheHypnotstCollector]

I like the way the wheel flew up at the end of the crash, like a good movie scene.

[@antoniofranklyn5923]

that was one hell of a nasty move..sorry to see you get taken out like that man...you had good momentum up till that point... :(

[@jasonzbell]

Darn, that is too bad. Having driven that track in a kart a couple times, I can say for sure that the move on the other driver's part was definitely not right. For him to carry that little speed through turn 5, then step out of the racing line before turn 6 (where a good amount of passing takes place) shows the inexperience. Hopefully his lack of race experience did not cost you too much.

[@joshharrison1996]

Hope he retired too. Stupid move.

[@lucamenna8208]

The guy in front of him turned left while he was passing him, it was his fault.

[@joshharrison1996]

yeah i agree thats what i'm saying. :)

[@seregasuperman254]

I think he just tried to take defensive trajectory. Should have look first though. Didn't expect that somebody passing him already.

[@offason]

@@seregasuperman254 rearview mirrors might be beneficial

[@TheGixxerHH]

WHY is he turned left? idiot.

[@lucamenna8208]

I think he thought the guy wanted to pass him on the outside.

[@Mayist1551]

Running so well, passing all kinds of people. Than that...

[@XracingVideos]

Hi! Can we feature this video in our next compilation? We'll give you full credit in the description. Thanks!

[@elwingy]

I really like the way you just walk away.

[@offason]

What would You have done? Stayed in the kart?

[@suasponte8363]

Where's the asskicking video?

[@murph_1910]

LOL. Just walks off.

[@TeflonNapkins]

Finn Murphy What did you expect him to do? Do a flip and dance on the track?

[@masyola5280]

Finn Murphy in case the kart explode

[@vacomments]

My opinion is that mirrors should be mandatory in Superkart. If a competitor, doesn't have the ability or responsibility to move his/her head during a straight to assess his/her position in relation to the positions of the other competitors, then the rule makers should take the responsibility of taking measures to prevent potentially dangerous incidents similar to the one illustrated in this video.

[@alexandersoroka4438]

Agreed. Having no safety cages or head barriers in such fast vehicles it`s absolutely mandatory to have a rule for surrounding situation observation by turn passing driver.

[@NigelRCharman]

There is so much vibration that they are useless. I have had so much vibration at times that I have found it hard to breathe.

[@dphotos007]

These carts need side mirrors. That is the track I went to racing school at. Looks like the guy went wide right then drifted straight into you as you were heading up to what they call the rainbow curve. It was all the other guys fault.

[@dc_5sauce]

Neither do dirt bikes. You can hear them coming, he knew he was there.

[@Basics_of_Gameology]

But the mirrors vibrate faster than a vibrator... Technical issues to be solved...

[@oliwia5877]

@@dc_5sauce hej

[@Chris-ht5ng]

Pretty salty at the end tho :p, I find it pretty funny how the wheel just pops off after the kart stops lol

[@stitchcompany291]

Looks like he was expecting someone to overtake him on the outside.

[@mwarren400]

The kart being overtaken should "hold his line", unfortunately, it is usually the responsibility of the "overtaking" kart.

[@carlosbarata1040]

Up to that moment was a great drive taking no prisioners , it took a driver rockie mistake and lack of awareness to put an end of what it could've been a podium or a race win , as a fellow racer we dust off and go again 🏁🏆

[@awashmicrobe]

why they don't have side mirrors !

[@boatymcboatface666]

Sultan Freeman YT can hear what's next to you. I learned real quick not to bother looking behind but was fully aware of who or what was next to me.

[@gostfalcon]

😂

[@tom5051666]

no seat belt and mirrors are ur only concern. ooookay

[@johnnypenso9574]

Way too much vibration in a kart for mirrors to be of any help. It's understood in karting, indeed in all racing, that you don't just make moves left and right on a straight with karts behind you. It's a rookie/amateur mistake on the part of the ahead driver.

[@deathlegionair]

Johnny Penso or a dick move..

[@pepper669]

Sorry but it was funny seeing that wheel pop off.

[@warren010h]

Guy seemed to not know where the hell he wanted to go with all that weeving

[@ursuss100]

Didn't know you could gokart on the real Laguna Seca layout ! Must be insane !

[@JaxRwld]

That start by #21 though..

[@shaunmcgrath983]

Man, I used to run a 125cc Rotax/Zip kart at Willow Springs many moons ago. Never had a fool pull that kind of a move. That was so abrupt, really stupid. Good thing he didn`t do it a fraction sooner, might have launched you. Are these 250 singles (aprox 50hp)?

[@boatymcboatface666]

Shaun McGrath twin 250s

[@PintOfBeers098]

white number plate nationals/singles yellow plates international/twins

[@furion192]

100hp i believe. 250 2stroke 2 cylinder

[@lilserek_63]

3:48 that looks like a movie!!😯😯

[@corvetteZ06dreamcar]

I like the little wheel flying up in the air at the end lol.

[@josephhobbs3009]

Even though 67 years old I'm going to say that dude that sucks.! Damn you were hauling ass and cut through the field I feel for you

[@unsczombie]

Dude got up pissed. Didn't even glance back. Cant blame him.

[@LordBandit]

Hey mate can I use your video in my next compilation?(kart fails&crash) I'll credit you in the description and add a link to your video. Thanks:) LB

[@21daytona502]

Too bad, yes he turned into you...hope that driver was penalized.

[@KrustyKlown]

dude was texting his Mom..."nobody is passing me..."

[@Greg_Chase]

**BASTID DIDN'T EVEN STOP TO APOLOGIZE** I demand an investigation

[@Skyisnotalimit]

He walked away... Lucky....

[@funkyzero]

ahh... the long walk. I got pretty good at it. Of course I didn't run this class, I could never afford it. I was always going a lot slower than this when I broke my stuff

[@littleripper312]

If that happened to me I would have given that driver quite the verbal thrashing afterwards. Pissed me off and it didn't even happen to me :P

[@higtmance3641]

shit happens, no need to get mad

[@dgriffin6074]

Looks like fun. Maybe a dumb question but why no mirrors on these karts? I see videos of drivers glancing over their shoulders which means losing sight of what's ahead.

[@nickvella7957]

Because they become. E a distraction

[@ganymede3141]

The guy that didn't stay on his line and turned into him should be banned from racing. There was no reason whatsoever for the sudden change in line.

[@JoeJonesMusic]

wow. didnt know they offer laguna seca up for karting!! thats killer!

[@Conordylan97]

What the heck kind of line was he taking at the end? Or was he trying to block you?

[@roynellemorris2912]

I would have been pissed as well all that hard work glad you okay man

[@Sharrendan]

he tried to escape the sound measurement booth.

[@kgranfield778]

NICE JOB WORKING THE PASSES THO

[@tim1444]

Lol at the tire at the end. Dick move though from the opponent

[@PTKilowatt]

What the hell was that waster trying to avoid in the first place? Last I checked there isn't a big kink in the track there at Laguna...

[@pepeleyva]

Number 9 kart did 2 strange moves, one in the middle of turn 5 wich kill his speed, and then again on the stright when both crashed.

[@wogga8]

He just changed his line for no good reason. Really unlucky. Are you running a Gas Gas?

[@peterparlock5450]

I feel for you, that's crap. But I now need to get one of those!

[@johnniebe7645]

nice photography at the end

[@usafirst965]

Usually you don't have to deal with a BANANA like the #9 until has going a lap down. It really wasn't his fault, he was folding his Road map!

[@Your_Average_Joe]

I want to try this style of karting. Looks like fun.

[@MrTheawesomenes]

guys the reason for no mirors it makes the kart go slower fall of quick can hit someone in the face

[@a3dfuel]

there are proximity alerts for blind spots built into mirrors of some cars. they flash a color from the mirror. why not simply mount the sensor and have a 2 color led for each side of the kart. say yellow for within 2 feet of the rear of kart and red for half way into you have the sensors mounted on each side. that may help racers to be aware of possible overtake and legitimate distance for having right of way as well. visual no audible. Well its only a thought of what if . Maybe an idea along this idea may be feasible. sure sux Laguna is my home track. The Karts always have good runs here. great fun to watch when given a chance to run clean.

[@engared]

Bloody hell, your back must be completely gone after driving on such a circuit with no suspension lol.

[@higtmance3641]

why would it

[@USA4thewin]

Kimis fault

[@kwakhru435]

It was max

[@pv192]

Bro was inventing a new line 😂😂 good run until then tho

[@ZeBlackRabbit86]

the first thing people told me when i started karting was never change line.

[@craigyrose13]

lool the walk of total fucking frustration

[@orionsamael]

Is Schumacher in this kart? haha nice pull out.

[@powderskier5547]

Now that was definately the other drivers fault, such a sudden move to the left for no reason at all, just plain stupid. He should have moved over slowly knowing that their could be someone on the outside of him

[@anthonypforr6463]

That's racing....looked like he was trying to get out of the line didn't see you... bad luck.

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Wow what a clown came right down into your line

[@Maverick9k]

This is how the AI is in Project Cars 2.

[@alancontreras1362]

Man fuck that sound restriction

[@BoomerBends]

Why did he turn in on you like that? Makes no sense at all.

[@rustyicepick8462]

Sound measurement booth? Explain please.

[@ssj3mohan]

my God the 9 Kart almost killed you. Happy you be ok.

[@DanielHDXO]

damn that sucks so much..you were doing pretty damn fine...what a shame

[@JCKARTING]

Bad luck ! Seems he's had a good jump start then a perfect driving till he's been pushed out by this jerk... right in the middle of the straight ... beginners : please stay home or keep on training hard !

[@serginietor]

fucking hell, you had a really good pace from the start

[@wond3erman1]

this is like one step away from car racing right?

[@MrBusunglueck]

bet he didnt realise befor you told him that.

[@mattisherwood]

Why the hell would you do that on a straight??

[@Landrar]

The broken wheel bouncing?

wreck is at 3:50 ....................................................................................................

[@tomlathrop4094]

I didnt know Grosjean raced carts at laguna seca

[@nnoellabieniec6773]

usa. what would be ideal kart class? if all expenses could be covered?

[@ianrkav]

Are these karts singles or twins?

[@TekMoliGy]

that had to have been fucking scary. Do they ever roll over?

[@PkonradW]

Yes they do, that's how most karting deaths happen.

[@brucedickinson8993]

I think Ericcson hits us

[@kylian4745]

that's the mazda race track right ?

[@dmart121]

Which country are you in?

[@lucamartelli4094]

Why don’t they use seatbelts?

[@kwakhru435]

What kind of defense is that?

[@Suriprofz]

Seems hard without mirrors

[@Cyphersjewels]

he didn't even check to see the damage done

[@jackguthrie1542]

That looked deliberet to me!

[@adriansappington7971]

I wander what happened to the other guy

[@MalloryDavisfrenchperformer]

Why did he turns like this ?

[@metinorcum1852]

this guy drives awesome. unlucky day man. haters gonna hate you forever:)

[@liamhygge]

Грусть печаль тоска

[@coleseum1]

4:00 gotta walk it off

[@Skyisnotalimit]

This looks insane...

[@RacingMeyer8]

that guy pulled a jeff gordon.(texas 2014) sound measurement booth??? is that a joke?

[@byron4888]

***** No this track has sound restrictions for the rich people that live nearby.

[@dhm_kats]

3:47 for the crash thank me later

[@DVICK83]

Fuck... I hope no one got hurt those 250cc scare the shit outta me :(

[@vadicus]

id just be like good god you have got to be fucking kidding me

[@makoboy230]

My guess is a grid lottery?

[@baretings1]

I would cry if that was my kart

[@bwaugh88]

yes but you should always keep your line regardless

[@drummerdvk]

thats why you have to put on rear view mirrors!^^

[@Doggieworld3Show]

Least he's alright.

[@ImBlazen]

3:48 is the crash

[@tgifhounds]

That was wild.
