In order for me to "hate Max" he would need to do something that impacts my life in a negative way ... no offense racing a car around a circuit isn't exactly life impacting for me, just entertainment not a cure for cancer.
I spent about 18 months working at an Karting track (now a TeamSport) and I never once saw anyone flying out of their kart. The worst incidents we ever saw was someone breaking a leg and crying because the paramedics had to cut her jeans, someone broke their hand, but the most common was people being sick in the toilets afterwards because we had lack of air ventilation at the time (it got closed for a few weeks to fix it)
I used to work at few of the Teamsport tracks. I once saw a kart drop 12 feet from the mezzanine level and land on the drivers head, someone else died at one of the tracks once, saw someone thrown out of a kart but their shoes were still stuck to the peddles, saw many broken arms and legs and saw some kids long hair get caught on the rear axle and get scalped. Once saw a manager accidently lock customers in the building too lol. Those were the days.
I broke my upper arm without even crashing in an electric kart. I was wrestling with the steering wheel in an hairpin while the back of the kart was drifting out. When it snapped back to straight line when I stepped on the throttle at the end of the corner, the steering wheel somehow broke my arm. Still don’t completely understand how that could cause it. Tried to look up similar cases online but I got no clue. My radial nerve got damaged in my arm and my wrist and fingers were paralysed for half year, I’m doing fine now and everything is same as old. That was my first time karting, was always a bit afraid of it but I really like racing and F1, don’t know what to think of it now. Not the best first experience
Guy diving down the inside needed to be more aware. The gap was closing very quick so he needed to back off & wait for another opportunity to make his move.
@@arranmc182 thats what im saying he wasn’t close enough or he Didnt get a good exit out the corner to gain the speed for an overtake so why he tried to go down the inside with virtually no room when there when he wasn’t close enough is crazy.
Agree. And even IF it had been possible, on that corner, with the entry speed at that angle, he’d have gone far too deep and not made it round. Net net, needs to learn some more about corner entry and exit and best corners for overtakes etc.
@@JB-xd9dr absolutely. Crazy why he would even try that there. Should learn a little bit of cornering & exit speed & breaking zone’s if he wants to do some overtakes like this.
There wasn't even a gap... he was way off the racing line based on the previous turn and the driver ahead was proceeding as expected. That close to the inside wall of the -hairpin- tight left-hander would only ever result in a dive/contact vs smartly backing off the throttle and biding time til another opportunity. Hopefully he was ok, but at the same time, hopefully there was a valuable lesson learned. This isn't i-racing 😅
When you are inexperienced you tend do do some really dumb shit. Good judgement comes from experience. In my first ever kart race i sent the dumbest T1 lap 1 divebomb known to mankind and i am now considered to be a really clean and patient driver
@@alessandroledda6480 Cant lie i dont blame him either, now ive done karting a bit i know how people drive the guy was probs new so he didnt know about racing lines and stuff
I've raced cars and it's funny how nobody ever realizes how much slower they go when blocking. Most of the time if people weren't blocking, they'd be too quick to catch
Yep busy looking behind rather than ahead ins this exact issue once, it wasn’t even a race it was about fastest lap endurance what’s the point of blocking under those rules
You are somewhat correct but times I’ve been faster and not blocked it’s easy for the driver behind to send one up the inside blocking your entry and in turn you lose a place
As a guy that works in a rental karing center, it is a mystery to me why its not mandetory to have seatbelts in rental karts. We have them in my center and i can say for certain that it has saved lifes and made some crashes less heavy
It's because without a roll bar or crash structure it's more dangerous to have seatbelts. You're more likely be trapped under your kart without being able to escape or if you're in a high speed crash you'd have all the forces transfer to your body instead of being ejected and negating the forces. Because of this seatbelt are only used in slow rental karts with a tall roll hoops.
I was in that very race, these guys were behind me when this happened. No one was hurt and laughed about it after. But there were 4 very young guys in the same race and the out would have been different if one of them was involved in a crash like this. One of them did have an incident where his Kart became lodged under the tyres in the race previous to this one, but again nobody was hurt. The venue itself is very good and challenging due to its split storey design, its a very well run venue.
@@cbrunnem6102 No, they could have sustained an injury and may not have been as understanding and laughed it of as the guy in the video did. This accident was a fluke.
@@tgrimshaw I was there. We waited 10 minutes while the staff had to pull a Kart from under the barriers, just before the ramp that goes to the lower level. I finished 6th, 6th, 10th. My son finished ahead of me in two of the races.
First of all I hope the driver is okay. Beyond that the move is not there, the opportunity is not real. In karting there’s no mirrors so you can not rely on the driver in front that he’s seen you. Also at the turning point he was even alongside and had no right to try the move. Either if he has got through his racing line would of meant he’d come out wide and the other driver would of retaken the position
@@malcolmmitchell6529 you can get hurt walking down the street. any impact at all has the chance to cause injury, it just depends on what parts of the body get impacted and how
Went indoor karting yrs a go with a bunch rally drivers and jetboat racers. One guy who has just recently had another huge rally accident spun and hit the tyres head on in practice cracking a rib or two from the impact. Another launched the front of his kart onto the rear of another.
That guy was trying to emulate "If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver" but he did "If you no longer go for a gap that doesn't exist, you are no longer a rental karting driver" 😂
He was clearly inexperienced. It was obvious the dude infront will go for the apex and there will be no space to take over. Even if he left space, that would be too sharp of a turn to make sense.
That’s why in public karting sessions I always take a slower and tighter line around hairpins, so that nobody tries to go into a disappearing space. Any wider (and faster) and you get shunted off.
I don't like those barriers made of tyres with a rubber belt covering them. Sometimes you can just "touch" the rubber and it grabs the kart and pulls it into the barrier, stopping it almost instantly. This isn't professional kart racing, and errors are to be expected. The barrier should be designed NOT to break your neck!
When I was a kid in the 90s a new go cart track opened in my area called the track. They had go carts that were pretty fast and their opening week Me and my best friend were ripping on the track all day. the track had a section that was a bridge and I wrecked my buddy on the bridge section that caused his cart to jump the railing, It was a good 6 ft drop, his cart was dangling off the edge. He almost went over. next time we went there they put high railings on the bridge section. No joke, another 3 inches he would of fell off.
I feel as if it was both of their faults. The 8 did suddenly go down low to a gap that was closing, but the 3 wasn’t clear when he tried to enter the corner.
Lotta comments from armchair experts about how #8 should never have gone for the move. And whilst they're correct, here's the thing: They're rental karts. The people who rent them aren't exactly Lewis Hamilton. More Jeremy Clarkson. The last time I went to TeamSport was in Nottingham as part of a Stag Do. There also isn't a professional racing driver alive or dead who hasn't made stupid moves on-track in their careers. It's how people learn. Especially if they get Shadow Realm'd in the process like #8 did. Hopefully he's okay. He'll have felt that one in the morning for sure.
I had a much worse crash at the outside track at Lakeside in the summer. Some complete moron pulled out from the side while I flying down the straight at around 50mph (this is despite seeing us bearing down). No time to react, flew head over heels out my my kart, over their kart, and ended up rolling on the track, with karts flying around me. Instant red light, and I kid you not, every Marshal on the track ran over. The one who came over to me looked more terrified than I did. Very lucky escape. Tweaked my knee slightly and bruised my hip. Carried on after that but couldn't recover pole and ended up 3rd.
Overtaking in go karts is SOOOO hard if you’re of similar skill! It seems the only way past is to push/ bump. I wish drivers would look behind themselves more often to avoid this kind of thing!
Safe to the point of boring. Real kart racing is anything up to 150mph and similar to a bike in term of protection. When you’re racing safely is the last thing you’re thinking about.
When you look at again a few times it's not a clear case. There actually was a gap. The front driver knowingly or not closed the door on him very quickly. The driver was correct to go for the pass but should have backed out. Easier said than done. In racing you can't hold back all the time or it'll become a habit.
I saw a similar crash with my stepson getting ejected, a rubber tyre was concreted into the ground on the inside of a corner. he got pushed into that large tyre in the same way as this driver on the inside , and his kart bounced off it so far he was ejected onto the tarmac. Although a 3rd kart didn’t punt him like in this video
Innocent bystander the dude with the GoPro. thou in saying that (unless he is preventing getting passed by someone on his right) surprised he is taking that line here.
damn that's bad. Worst i have ever seen was a lap 1 pileup in a tight section. leader spun, P2 hit them and came to a sudden and dead stop in the middle of the racing line while I was right behind them. i hit the driver P2 at full racing speed. P2's helmet flew off. did not look comfortable.
Racing gear: check, Racing ability: skip that move down the list, Safety check: skip that move down the list, Brain: skip that move down the list, Did we miss anything? At least his visor was down!
It was the thump into the wall that lifted them out of the seat then, at that moment, the camera kart that moved the kart from underneath them and they were ejected. I think had the second impact not happened they would have fallen back into their seat.
I still remember the crash I had while go-karting 4 years ago, as I was approaching a corner someone had already span out so I pressed the brake peddle to slow down ( and to avoid both the member of staff and the guy who span out ) as I pressed the brake peddle the go-kart didn't slow down and I tried to steer out of the way but the back end stepped out so I yelled "GET OUT OFF THE!" and I slammed side on to the go kart and I had to go to hospital as I was badly injured ( and before any of you blame me for the accident I wasn't at fault as I had a go kart with faulty brakes which led to the accident and I broke 6 ribs on one side )
I had two places where the brakes failed. One was indoors and I did what you did, and slid into the barrier. Fortunately just a bruise. The other time was outdoors and ended up turning wide off into the desert. It happens, luckily not that often.
I drove my petrol go kart under a camper van parked in our garden as a kid.Luckly i lifted my leg up which acted like a spring and stopped the step from giving me a massive chest injury.It broke my big toe (which really did hurt) and i bounced back out like a sprung coil.Then was in so much pain i hopped around told my mate to put the kart away for me and started to cry then passed out in my bedroom 😂
One time I was at a K1Speed, and this teenage girl blew a corner, slammed through the track wall, and continued on into the concrete wall of the building itself. She got carried out of the place in a stretcher.
I hate going Karting simply because of my 110kg body weight,i always come near the top but if the weights were equal then i would win more often than not.
What happened was that Driver 3 collided (he did an early turn) with Driver 8 and then the POV Driver collided with him sending him out! I hope he is ok!
In racing karts you DON'T want to be seatbelted in, since the kart can flip. It's the same reason why motorcycles don't have seatbelts, you want to be as far away from the bike as possible.
I was in hospital many years ago (born with a disability, it was one of many times) and someone came in after crashing a go kart while in holiday in spain i think, somehow managed to flip it over, or possibly into, a wall, my memory of it is hazy but i think he broke both legs
All on number 8, watching the camera car rather than anticipating the left hairpin.. can't even use the excuse of he was taking the aggressive line, because he wasn't haha
A closing gap is a gap that can't be got through. The driver in front is turning and doesn't have to move off their line. The driver behind should of backed out. A common mistake made by people unused to racing.

I saw a similar crash with my stepson getting ejected, a rubber tyre was concreted into the ground on the inside of a corner. he got pushed into that large tyre in the same way as this driver on the inside , and his kart bounced off it so far he was ejected onto the tarmac.
Although a 3rd kart didn’t punt him like in this video
Innocent bystander the dude with the GoPro. thou in saying that (unless he is preventing getting passed by someone on his right) surprised he is taking that line here.
What was your best lap time .. I’m going to get mine out of the draw and see .. was back in 2019 at that same place ..

He must've of thought "can everyone hold back a little whilst l take this corner on the completely wrong line" what a wally..
He realised too late that that gap is imposibble but the other guy left no space for him

wow, how much hors power carts are there? Maybe seatbelts are needed for those ? :)
Lessons were learned, and notes were taken💀
damn that's bad. Worst i have ever seen was a lap 1 pileup in a tight section. leader spun, P2 hit them and came to a sudden and dead stop in the middle of the racing line while I was right behind them. i hit the driver P2 at full racing speed. P2's helmet flew off. did not look comfortable.

Where is my guy looking😂was not following the racing line
Racing gear: check,
Racing ability: skip that move down the list,
Safety check: skip that move down the list,
Brain: skip that move down the list,
Did we miss anything?
At least his visor was down!

Jesus Christ! He barely touched that other guy's kart, yet that happened to him.
It was the thump into the wall that lifted them out of the seat then, at that moment, the camera kart that moved the kart from underneath them and they were ejected. I think had the second impact not happened they would have fallen back into their seat.
I still remember the crash I had while go-karting 4 years ago, as I was approaching a corner someone had already span out so I pressed the brake peddle to slow down ( and to avoid both the member of staff and the guy who span out ) as I pressed the brake peddle the go-kart didn't slow down and I tried to steer out of the way but the back end stepped out so I yelled "GET OUT OFF THE!" and I slammed side on to the go kart and I had to go to hospital as I was badly injured ( and before any of you blame me for the accident I wasn't at fault as I had a go kart with faulty brakes which led to the accident and I broke 6 ribs on one side )
I hope the Karting Center paid for the hospitalisation as they were responsible for maintaining the Karts..
Was there little to no brake bite? Did the brake pedal go all the way or much of the way throughout its travel?
Only problem was: that was the accelerator, not the brake.
@@gerrycollins2335 I did press the brake peddle but it didn't do anything so something broke between the peddle and the brakes
I had two places where the brakes failed. One was indoors and I did what you did, and slid into the barrier. Fortunately just a bruise. The other time was outdoors and ended up turning wide off into the desert. It happens, luckily not that often.
needs to come out way wider and just keep close until his opponent makes the mistake that allows him to get through safely

I drove my petrol go kart under a camper van parked in our garden as a kid.Luckly i lifted my leg up which acted like a spring and stopped the step from giving me a massive chest injury.It broke my big toe (which really did hurt) and i bounced back out like a sprung coil.Then was in so much pain i hopped around told my mate to put the kart away for me and started to cry then passed out in my bedroom 😂
I have 3 cracked ribs and whiplash as you read, doing the very same thing but at the curve, Chester.
Hope you make a speedy recovery @johnlanddigging please subscribe 🏁👍
You can see the moment his helmet prevented the back of his noggin from hitting the ground
Never had the line. Great footage. Better than watching F1 at the moment!

Flyer's fault. That space was always going to close down.
One time I was at a K1Speed, and this teenage girl blew a corner, slammed through the track wall, and continued on into the concrete wall of the building itself. She got carried out of the place in a stretcher.

I hate going Karting simply because of my 110kg body weight,i always come near the top but if the weights were equal then i would win more often than not.

Never ever ever ever point your steering wheel to someone on the ground, if someone hits you from behind you’re not going to like what you see

Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes. Or how Fernando said "You always leave the space."
I sold that chap the Dean Thomas Arai replica. Nice to see it in action!

ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE TO LEAVE A SPACE
He leaned into the corner which was already wrong and did it early causing early rotation in turn he was going making the crash
Please subscribe @babyoikawa
What happened was that Driver 3 collided (he did an early turn) with Driver 8 and then the POV Driver collided with him sending him out! I hope he is ok!
Buddy said I'm sending it until I either see god or the checkered flag. Lmfao

are there no seatbelts in the rental carts in the UK? In the Netherlands you require to were the seatbelt at all times?
No seatbelts in the UK @sirvosa767 please subscribe 👍
In racing karts you DON'T want to be seatbelted in, since the kart can flip. It's the same reason why motorcycles don't have seatbelts, you want to be as far away from the bike as possible.
in Germany are no seatbelts as well
People do that to me on Forza all the time, in fact if I don’t go from 10-24th in the first corner something is wrong.
You have crashes where no other car was involved, and you end up in the tire wall. This guy said fuck that, I won't even bring my own.
1 thing you don’t do in karting is lean into a corner you lean out
I was in hospital many years ago (born with a disability, it was one of many times) and someone came in after crashing a go kart while in holiday in spain i think, somehow managed to flip it over, or possibly into, a wall, my memory of it is hazy but i think he broke both legs

Going for the 2 stroke move
Didn't think that was possible in a Teamsport go kart.

A sharp left means the driver should take a wide entry, not go left before the corner even starts.

A closing gap is a gap that can't be got through. The driver in front is turning and doesn't have to move off their line. The driver behind should of backed out. A common mistake made by people unused to racing.
Is this the one where the guy flips over mid-air and the owner says "oi no professionals?"
He was leaning into the corner, which is also a big mistake, which makes turning slower
Hope everyone is ok. Racing is dangerous
It is when people drive like bell ends. The racing karma gods got this one right. Idiot driving.
