Session two of this visit and whilst I'm still driving around minding my own business, someone has some other ideas!
The track layout in use this time was the full-length international layout.
I'm a TeamSport Grid Elite member!
My best international layout time going into this session is 57.961 on the old tyres, and a 58.281 on the new tyres!

It’s hard to say you did anything wrong there. It does look like you gave him a couple of light taps but that’s what happens with indoor karting. It’s not an excuse to try and pile drive you off the track. People like that can be very annoying especially when they try to squeeze you into a barrier for being faster than them. Some good driving in that session though and some nice overtakes!

2awyliekatrter7977-I have to agree with you simply based off what I saw, And to be fair there is always going to be some contact weather it's indoor or outdoor, weather it be a rub or slight push. I don't get upset about those and most others don't either but if its and individual doing so repeatedly and recklessly that's something else entirely. That's not what happened here, and the #10 driver seemed to lack control of his cart in several turns, when he deliberately try to barrier jinx Rob That is a huge indicator of what kind of driver and person they are so I would seek to pass and put them several carts behind me. Those are the kinds of drivers that will get someone hurt and I want no part of that.

The way I see it, a few light taps along the straights is a clear indicator to the one being tapped that they took the wrong line and are slower since someone is exiting with greater speed. That means they ought to allow for you to pass and not deal with being in their way. The guy was sliding through half the turns was never going to be faster than you.

Rubbing is racing, as they say. Nothing wrong with your driving at all. First time I've seen one of your videos and it's obvious you're a very good, and very fair driver. A slight bit of rubbing is perfectly normal on an indoor track. However what the other guy did was completely unacceptable. Also kudos to the marshal for de-escalating the situation.

Good reaction tbf, heat of the moment then a diplomatic ending. As only occasional karter here I could see myself starting getting into a rage like the other guy did over contact BUT, you have to remember how tight these tracks are and how poorly powered rental karts are. A few little bumps are part and parcel of getting your elbows out and netting passes as the only real tool in the box. If someone bumps me I know the level of bumping them back if a fight for places is on but never becoming a torpedo like that! Rental places could do better in explaining what a good bit of racing is vs turning it into bumper cars. Marshall did his best to let you both carry on, and well done for not just racing up to the back of him and starting round 2!

I find having your own suit, helmet etc makes you a bit of a target on public sessions. It's one of those, a light tap here or there is fine imo, sometimes it's unavoidable due to you carrying more speed through a corner and you just aren't expecting them to be basically parked on an apex that is flat out or whatever.

Honestly the gammon casuals that go to Team Sport are insane. I had a massive crash in the Warrington circuit. Not sure if you know it but there's a downhill section that leads into a fast chicane which is flat out. The guy ahead of me maybe at 10 meters decided to go slow and close the gap on the racing line. To avoid killing him I had to slam on my breaks, I lost the rear and 180 into the barriers and engine cut out. Fair play to the marshalls though, the guy got kicked out but god damn my neck and ribs the day after.

I have to say one thing, though... I like to go go-karting to just have fun and not care about lap times, you know, that's what these establishments are for. If I want to set record lap times I call the venue and ask if it is possible to do that and then I pay to have the track to myself. If I go racing with other people on the track I do not care about setting the fastest time or to compete with them, because I know most of them are just there to have fun with friends or by themselves. In my experience the people with racing gloves on tend to be very entitled and rude when a mistake happens. Not talking about you, though, just my general experience and you are the exception to that. But I just wish more people know that going karting with other people means you can't focus on your fastest lap times or trying to compete with the others.

3:18 You do touch him a bit. The only concern I have for you in this case are we sure you are cleared of him at 3:59. If not then that inner line towards the apex is his. Diving in like that can be dangerous for both. His reactions either way are trash. If he has a problem with you then take it with you only. Doing what he did creates a safety issue for everyone. Fortunately no one was hurt. On a brighter note seems like you are slighlty apexing early, mostly on the hair pins. Might gain time with the slightest of lifts and enter touch later and back in to stop the kart from sliding so much. Never driven these style of carts but between other racing forms I've done seems to prove beneficial. Good on you for getting your cool back quickly and checking if other driver is ok and then not creating a bigger issue. Best of luck in the future.

@MrSpanks 6 ай бұрын

@offdabeatz - All good points. The thing to bear in mind with these indoor karts is that they have relatively low power and are heavy (to withstand all the inevitable knocks and bumps they must endure) so it is vital to keep up your momentum. Additionally, since there is often a large difference in abilities all racing together, you need to take in to account the unpredictability of some drivers. These factors hone certain skills and can result in some unconventional racing lines.

The way he was oversteering into slides in those corners where there was contact reminds me of absolute beginners who turn up sometimes where I drive.

He should have been off for that.

When you said 'He's off' I thought you meant he hit you and 'Ran off'.

I've been lucky with the public sessions generally so far! I'm able to do more members events now, so hopefully things will work out! 👍

Hi rob, its Skye. he has no reason to be like that on track, as many oyhers have said when uou have a full suit you get targetded at more ect. i can say so myself i did a public session and had a maybe 20-30 year old lad come and try upto square upto me. and with me being 14 its a big situation. i went to apologise after bumping him and almost turning him sideways as he came across into my line on the long straight and it turned his kart. - he did manage to keep hold of it. but he threated me ect and told me to keep crying even though i wasnt 😂😂 anyways you did great, i would of reacted the same dont worry. and also ryan b is such a nice lad, i see him when i do monday night socials and i think his say was reasonable

Hey Skye! Some people are just mental - egos definitely need to be left in the changing rooms. Scary someone would square up to you! Ryan is awesome, but I think all the Sheffield staff are to be fair! 👍

Absolutely nothing wrong with your driving there. He didn’t really know what the hell he was doing, dodgy lines, back end slipping out on hairpins. That’s the problem with indoors tracks, tend to get some guy who haven’t got a clue and then you get a guy like him who thinks it’s acceptable to try and force you into the barrier and t-bone you when he doesn’t get his own way. I’ve been a kart racer for 29 years and unfortunately this happens. It’s why I massively prefer outdoor more pro circuits. Well done though.

If he hit you it was only bc you spun off

I'm not a racer but anyone that drives I to someone like car 10 did should have at least a warning. Little taps like you did are sometimes unavoidable but blatent running into someone is not on.

Your logo is actually a logo of a rc car brand named arrma

@RobGoesRacing 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for pointing this out. I've just double checked, and whilst the double-r section is similar, they are in fact also very different. My logo is a custom made vector that I've hand drawn. Thanks for your concern 👍

Wow props for your drawing skills😁. And thanks for the answer😊. I will go karting with my friends in december and I'm actually pretty good at it I have beaten almost my whole family and my cousins😂😃. And ur content is interesting so a new sub and like is coming towards you😁😈🤣😅.

You shouldn’t of apologised. You should have let it escalate to viewing your footage there and then. It sets a bad precedent for the other drivers future visits and will result in someone getting hurt.

He apologised out of respect for the marshal, not for the other driver.

@johnnyfearlesszrx 4 ай бұрын

If there were any taps, they were light and didn't affect the race at all. When you passed him, it was a good overtake. He rammed you because you had no right to overtake him in his strange mind, how dare you pass him when he's doing his best to win 🤣 You have to feel a bit sorry for such insecure people. He's the type that would puncture a football if he was losing and then call it a draw.

@stevemarks9360 2 ай бұрын

You make a fool of yourself by saying, he's off! Let the Marshall do his job!

I consider myself to be a good driver & sometimes go karting to let of steam, but yeah you still encounter David coulthard wannabes like this. I call it little D**K syndrome. 👍✌️
