I mean, regardless, at the end of the day, the biggest issue with the rules is the fact they moved him back up to 2nd. He never should've been moved up through the order, according to the rules, and that's my main point of grief. Staff told me I "caused it" so clearly they felt like I was the "at fault" driver, but idk. Who is "at fault" is a judgement call at the end of the day for them. No official rules for how they decide. It's a balls and strikes call. Racing for a shot at nationals, last lap, and he jams the brakes in a way he hadn't done for the previous 11 laps. Is what it is, but at the least, the rules state he shouldn't have gone to nationals either, so the fact he is going to nationals is ridiculous. Makes me wonder if the fact he's a Top 50 K1RS person (meaning he's a big spender at K1) has any influence...

@@GeorgeTheKarter right that makes a lot more sense. It sucks he brake checked you. Karting in general is just a very leader advantaged sport. The carts are so wide and the tracks so narrow that passing reasonably, fairly and cleanly within just those 12 laps is ridiculous in my opinion. Get em next time bro 🙏

Believe what you wanna believe. I know what my thoughts were going into it. I just didn’t expect him to jam the brakes so hard to hold the bottom. I was expecting him to push out more and I’d follow in closely, not absolutely jam the back of him.

Your eyes must have been closed bro. Kart 17 had a dying kart and was absolutely panicking. This is K1 and the karts can't just accelerate around a slow moving kart like on a real track. Sure parking a kart in the apex may be a viable tactic to defend but be prepared for whoever is behind you to shove you forward because they have a faster kart. OP used the brakes and did not try to use #17 as a wall to slow down, OP did not dive bomb from the side, #17 did not spin out as a result and would have been able to fight for P3 or P4 on the next couple turns. Just because someone comes to a stop right in front of you whether it was intentional (absolute novice karter who brakes every turn) or accidental (over braking and spinning) and it results in a collision, it is not the person who was behinds fault for colliding. IMO this was handled poorly by the staff. These are grown ass men who can continue racing with a little bump, not some kids birthday party where they have to worry about a Karen threatening a chargeback on their party package.

@@MarcAnt1Roger ill make sure to fully punt you all the way out of the way if i ever see you in front of me on track. LMAO

Re-watch the footage, dude held no pace with P1 and backed up traffic because all he have to do is hold position to get to national but look at P1 pace he is far gone from the pack.... Anyways back to the actually incident, P2 took a narrow nose dive into corner to prevent P3 from overtaking because of the faster line and jammed the brakes at the end because he overshot it which is when he got "bumped" out of the way. Lets not forget how OP got slightly less aggressive bump from previous overtake at the turn @4:08 "same stupid defensive driving line to push the faster driver out into a wider turn."

Thanks lol. You can actually see me saw on the wheel a second time to turn under him for turn 2, because I didn't actually expect him to go that wide. Just worked out for me!
