Don't be this guy when you go Karting! 

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! Good riddance 😄 EDIT: Watch my analysis here👇 ru-vid.comzzKKbAsNiXA

The fact that 'we' didn't get the revenge bothers me a whole lot

My brakes would have mysteriously stopped working if I raced this guy.

I'm gonna be honest, I'd have lost my lid and punted him off circuit after about 3 of those bumps, I'm a fairly experienced karter and even though it's wrong I'd still do it. Your friend has the patience of a saint.

Done a lot of karting, and the best way to deal with these is to get on the rear bumper, pretty much touching, then use them as your brakes in the next turn and send them straight on😂

Give him back what he deserves. Honestly, some guys are racing hard, but that is Just ridiculous. It’s not racing anymore…

This guy is actually giving you an invitation: To meet him outside and handle it.

the fact that your friend caught up every time so quickly really shows who the better driver was

Best decision: show the video to the track administration and ask for a ban.

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.

I'd be wearing an orange jumpsuit after that race.

Your way to polite. I'd have been kicked out for planting him in tires!

I’m glad he kept his cool. If I was in that situation, that guy would be in a morgue by the end of the race

To be honest, his behavior was trying to “kill” you. Especially at the end which almost knocked you to a direct hit to the white tires.

Honestly this made me laugh watching him toy with you.

Mate, just flip him out already. You're an enabler

What you do in this situation is go side by side a couple times and let him feel like a champ for pushing you wide, and then the next time you line up, right before he turns into you, just suddenly slow down and watch him confidently go off the track. 😂

Patience level 1000. I was fuming just watching this 😂

It is worth gold that you added Kimi's radio messages and sometimes this driving remembers me to Jeddah, imagining 2021 Toto smashin his headphone and stewards busy with investigating everything what happened between the title contenders.

what baffles me is how he managed to loose his lead after stopping you in the uphill of the indoor kart track

honestly his dirty driving wasnt the worst part of this it was the fact that he didnt punt him off and get revenge

I very rarely post comments, but this video is worthy of the attention. All praise to you for not resorting to a dirty move in frustration! I don’t think the other racer understands the concept of good racing and sportsmanship. You’ve certainly been the bigger person by not reacting to it. It’s easy for other people to comment what you should’ve done to make the pass stick, but honestly the point is you remained in control of your actions and tried where you could to make a clean pass. All credit to you mate!

Go karts are entry level to open wheel race cars. In open wheel racing it represents a gentleman’s sport. There exists in every drivers mental picture an imaginable margin around the opponents car that must be respected, otherwise damage and destruction will occur. This leaves the competition to be about ability and smooth control, and respect, not bullying as in the videos example. The driver featured in this video sees it a smash up derby.

that's a broken jaw for the driver that's `defending`

If I encounter someone doing this to me karting I give them the rule of three. Meaning you have three times to drive dirty against me. After your third offense you'll be introduced to my very good friend: Barry R

Props to you for still trying to be clean while overtaking, even after a dozen dangerous maneuvers by him. You're a better man than me! I'd have retaliated.

Second driver has no idea how to set up a pass. He had a couple of opportunities to punt the guy and didn't take them. Just kept trying to pass on the outside.

The agro forcing off track is analogous to a boxer kneeing their opponent in the groin.

0:50 if he was doing that to me I'd reach over and turn his engine off 😂😂😂😅

You have more patience than me. I would have taken him out, pulled him out of the kart and threw him over the tyres. The best thing to do would just to pull over to be honest. I’d love to get a chance to confront someone - have them watch and explain why they are such a douche.

"That Guy" would have gotten his rear end kicked after this session was over!

That guy would get his head caved in at the end of that race

What a complete POS. Full kudos to your friend for keeping calm, I know the guy would be in the wall if it was me. Also I can’t quite believe there was over 3 minutes of this with no action from the marshals…

What I do in such siutations, is slow down so it takes more laps cathing up with him again. If he keeps on doing it, one should just go back to the pits and tell the staff that either they black flag/ban the guy or give your money back if they aren't willing to enforce the rules. He may be an a-hole, but it's the staff's fault that he's allowed to do this.

He's watched Max Verstappen do the same over and over so he reckons it's OK.

If I was in that kart, after we got out I would be so raged.. but if I was there with one my friend who also kinda likes go-karts, we would be furious 💀

The best way of dealing with drivers like this is a tiny tap on the rear bumper in a fast corner or gentle braking zone. Just enough to put them off line, but not enough to get real notice from the marshals. Happened a lot when I was karting!

I would've blacklisted myself at this point. There's no way this guy would be leaving the track without a proper beating.

Get to the inside and send him sliding.😂

Your friend sure has a lot of patience

You are way too nice of a driver. I would have spun him out after his 3rd attempt to push me out of a corner.

You are too passive… 😂 USE THEM BUMPERS!! And give him a taste of his own medicine!

He seems out to get you. It seems personal cz he let others pass. Are you sure you don't owe him money 😂😂😂

Where were the marshalls? That lad was just completely deliberate in running the cam driver off the track.

The guy with the camera tries to the outside of the curves, so he will never manage to overtake, his mind is locked on the other guy

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

He does it 2 or 3 times I'm punting him to the shadow realm.

This was so infuriating to watch, I’m not exactly the cleanest driver in go karts, I cut some corners and am pretty cheeky when it comes to overtaking especially as other people feel they need to slow down a lot more than they need to, to take corners but at this point this guy was just being a prick. Honestly what I would have done is pit manoeuvred him and if it takes us both out of the race I will take that. Even if I was banned from the track I would take that too, and just try to appeal it afterwards if I really enjoyed the Track with the footage you had. Sorry to see your fun be ruined by some self righteous troll jackass. You gotta understand man children like this most likely didn’t get enough attention as a kid so it’s hard for them to admit when someone is truly better than them at something…Was hard to watch as you’re racing lines were very clean throughout the race and I’m sure you would have made a wonderful track time, sucks to see but onto the next!! 👊🏼👊🏼

Brother you kept your cool longer than I would have. He’d of received full beast mode in the pits for that behaviour.

I've only ridden an indoor kart once and it's clear that any collision and/or bad crash has the potential to cause serious injuries to drivers, especially their spines. This guy should be banned from driving on this track for the rest of his life because of this behavior, I hope he was given exemplary punishment. My compliments to you for handling the situation maturely, like a real man; different from this cowardly guy throwing his kart at others at every turn! I wonder what goes on in the head of someone like that, there are people who leave the house with the sole aim of causing fights. Inexplicable.

He keeps sweeping you even though you're on the outside. Brake a little earlier, that way if he does try to sweep you off your line, his rear quarter will catch your front making him spin!

Your friend has a lot of patience. I never been karting, but I've seen a bunch of videos. There are some guys that are overly aggressive, dive bomb in turns with no consideration for other drivers....and then there was this guy. This guy was flat out moving into the POV driver's lane, pushing him off the track, intentionally trying to put him into the tires and wall. Once, maybe twice I would be mad and forgive. This guy must have done it 20 times in a 3 minute video. How did none of the track staff see this guy's outright dirty, unsafe driving? After the 3rd or 4th time, I would have spun the guy out and tackled his ass to the ground.

Someone would be getting his ace beat so hard when we got off track.

Bro well done for not taking him out and getting in trouble but if I was you he is getting sent to the shadow realm

You get one "mistake", after that you're free to fire the blue turtle shell and wreck him. Also you're free to beat the piss out of him after the race.

That kind of behaviour would get him pitted into the outside wall if I was driving lol

As soon as he try’s to turn into you, brake then hit the apex in the corner. Works every time even when racing and trying to get around someone

Every time I go karting there’s usually that one guy. Right until someone shoves him into a wall then he cries to the staff. Always fun to watch lol

Stop trying to pass people on the outside, it’s simple physics my friend. Give him what he deserves from the inside!

I thought this kind of bully racer only exists in video game, but here i am seeing it in real life

I love how he finally gets past him and he get passed right back

3:08 Damn, he almost killed you. Luckily you can avoided the collision. Great reaction, mate.

the driver is way more level headed than i would of been if it was me that guys in a wall

I’m 13 years old and my sister is 14 years old, we are beginners in karting and since I am a fan of F1, I have always wanted to do go karting so I learnt lots of techniques and even taught it to my sister. After 2 weeks of go karting we went on the track again and she defended very similar to this and rammed into my karting multiple times and I even rammed into the tires multiple times but I didn’t do anything back as she is my sister and I can’t act to aggressive but my parents supported her saying “You could have braked”, “She just has good tactics”, “You are just mad you lost”

Bro was looking back more than he was forward.

In this cases the “eye for an eye” approach is the best

The fact he bumped you as well is not acceptable I would have fought him after the session finished

It reminded me of the battle between Max and Lewis, when Max tried in every possible way to push Lewis out from the track, like in Brazil

Congratulations for his patience, I don't understand how this driver haven't brain...

2:28 what a dirty move! I would have t-boned him in the next corner!

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.

Looks like a lot of fun. Was calculating the best tactic for a clean pass. I think it's time I get back to race simulators ; haven't played since 2013.

thats good defending, like in f1, you want to win you need to do everything within the rules

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

It seems like he's using the strategy of occupie the inside line in every turn so he can push you out and gain that advantage. Try to run into that inside line so you perform a dive bomb. If you wanna give him what he deserves, a great torpedo will be good (he started this at first)

That was fun to watch & hilarious, other guy was playing with u but was actually a really smooth driver, shame he got kicked out according to the read up

as someone who is extremely good with driving, and also very smart (i watch rick & morty), i will SAY that "i don't understand" but that is just an expression. "i don't understand why people take go-karting so seriously, none of you know how to drive and accidents happen. that's the point of karts, it's why your not in a racecar, just learn and have fun. don't be a paintball warrior out there just because a noob made mistakes driving a TOY."

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

Thats not a dirty driver. Thats a psychopathic driver. "Our driver unfortunately failed to prepare the overtaking maneuver better. There was a corner where he could have overtaken him despite that, but he always went to the inside before, only to have to go to the outside and be at a disadvantage. There he would have had to do it the other way around, damn

marshalls must be having a beer

After pushing me to the outside of a curve more than once, I would have taken the inside and made sure he hit the wall.

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.

My thoughts are you kept choosing the outside line so he forced you wide. Sometimes way too much as he didn’t give you enough room and purposely pushing you off track as well as himself. Glad he got removed and black listed but there were opportunities to pass that you didn’t take.

Out of the two it's hard to tell who is the worse driver.

He was there for fun, not for lap times. Also skilled enough not to allow overtake. Not enough to make it clean though.

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.

Watching this really annoyed me. I would have pushed him off the apex into the tyres after the second incident. Why anyone would tolerate this behaviour is beyond me.

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.

That's pretty dirty.....clearly the POV driver had the faster kart but I woulda lost my shit had he yanked his wheel like that and nudged me off the track. Another thing people aren't talking about is the POV driver always picking the wrong time to overtake that guy. Don't try to pass on the right knowing a left hand turn is coming up and vise versa. Gotta be thinking a few turns ahead that way you can pass on the inside turn and then flick his ass off the track and return the favor.😅

It wouldn’t have ended well for that guy if I was driving

Should have pit manoeuvered him right by the tire barrier for extra points

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.

I woulda hopped out of my kart and dove on him, props to your friend for staying patient

As a legend once said, "All the time you have to leave a space." Seems like this guy really doesn't want to follow that advice

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

Good discipline on you staying focused and trying to make a move stick. If you kept it tidy at 3:05, you would have got it done, but unfortunately you ran wide. Super unlucky after getting ran off the track for 5 straight minutes. I'm honestly surprised he didn't get black flagged for how ridiculous some of his moves were

Easy to avoid. There were so many chances to take the inner line and pass that guy. But you always went for the outside...

1) It was necessary to drive along the internal trajectory and displace the opponent (did not cross the trajectory when overtaking) 2)Such drivers are easy to punish. You need to fit tightly behind you, body to body. He starts to brake into the turn, you accelerate and only brake a little later. As a result, your opponent goes into the bump stop.

that happened to me last time I went karting, I'm not so kind hearted to these people, I made sure he went front first into the barrier.

Wouldnt be surprised to see him driving for Red Bull in a few years. He's obviously been training in their star drivers programme tactics, got some classic early Vettel and current Verstappen moves there.
