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.
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 🏁🏆
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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)?
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
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 !
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.

I like the way the wheel flew up at the end of the crash, like a good movie scene.
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... :(
Hope he retired too. Stupid move.
The guy in front of him turned left while he was passing him, it was his fault.
yeah i agree thats what i'm saying. :)
I think he just tried to take defensive trajectory. Should have look first though. Didn't expect that somebody passing him already.

WHY is he turned left? idiot.
I think he thought the guy wanted to pass him on the outside.
Running so well, passing all kinds of people. Than that...
I really like the way you just walk away.
What would You have done? Stayed in the kart?
Hi! Can we feature this video in our next compilation? We'll give you full credit in the description. Thanks!
Where's the asskicking video?
Didn't know you could gokart on the real Laguna Seca layout ! Must be insane !
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
I like the little wheel flying up in the air at the end lol.
That start by #21 though..
LOL. Just walks off.
Finn Murphy What did you expect him to do? Do a flip and dance on the track?
Finn Murphy in case the kart explode

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.
Pretty salty at the end tho :p, I find it pretty funny how the wheel just pops off after the kart stops lol
Looks like he was expecting someone to overtake him on the outside.
The kart being overtaken should "hold his line", unfortunately, it is usually the responsibility of the "overtaking" kart.
3:48 that looks like a movie!!😯😯
why they don't have side mirrors !
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.
😂
no seat belt and mirrors are ur only concern. ooookay

Johnny Penso or a dick move..
Sorry but it was funny seeing that wheel pop off.
NICE JOB WORKING THE PASSES THO

Neither do dirt bikes. You can hear them coming, he knew he was there.
But the mirrors vibrate faster than a vibrator... Technical issues to be solved...
@@dc_5sauce hej
I want to try this style of karting. Looks like fun.
What the heck kind of line was he taking at the end? Or was he trying to block you?
usa. what would be ideal kart class? if all expenses could be covered?
Guy seemed to not know where the hell he wanted to go with all that weeving
wow. didnt know they offer laguna seca up for karting!! thats killer!
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
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
Sound measurement booth? Explain please.
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.
Because they become. E a distraction

Shaun McGrath twin 250s
white number plate nationals/singles yellow plates international/twins
100hp i believe. 250 2stroke 2 cylinder
He walked away... Lucky....
I would have been pissed as well all that hard work glad you okay man
nice photography at the end
I feel for you, that's crap. But I now need to get one of those!
Dude got up pissed. Didn't even glance back. Cant blame him.
this guy drives awesome. unlucky day man. haters gonna hate you forever:)
This looks insane...
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
shit happens, no need to get mad
fucking hell, you had a really good pace from the start
Bro was inventing a new line 😂😂 good run until then tho
Which country are you in?
that's the mazda race track right
?
**BASTID DIDN'T EVEN STOP TO APOLOGIZE**
I demand an investigation
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.
dude was texting his Mom..."nobody is passing me..."
damn that sucks so much..you were doing pretty damn fine...what a shame
how much is one of these karts?
Lol at the tire at the end.
Dick move though from the opponent
Are these karts singles or twins?
my God the 9 Kart almost killed you. Happy you be ok.
The broken wheel bouncing?
what is the sound measurment booth for?
Laguna has mandatory decibel levels some vehicles have more or less. but I think its 96db max. the booth is somewhere near turn 5? 6?
the first thing people told me when i started karting was never change line.
Is Schumacher in this kart? haha nice pull out.
What kind of defense is that?
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.
he tried to escape the sound measurement booth.
Too bad, yes he turned into you...hope that driver was penalized.
this is like one step away from car racing right?
Bloody hell, your back must be completely gone after driving on such a circuit with no suspension lol.
why would it
I wander what happened to the other guy
things are insane fast
jeez,scary stuff,i wanna go:-)
That was wild.
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!
lool the walk of total fucking frustration
He just changed his line for no good reason. Really unlucky. Are you running a Gas Gas?
Why did he turns like this ?
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...
That's racing....looked like he was trying to get out of the line didn't see you... bad luck.
Why the hell would you do that on a straight??
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
That looked deliberet to me!
dammm that looks like fun
Wow what a clown came right down into your line
Why don’t they use seatbelts?
That'll buff right out.
Man fuck that sound restriction
Seems hard without mirrors
Shame you were killing it :-(
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 !
he didn't even check to see the damage done
Kimis fault
It was max
bet he didnt realise befor you told him that.
guys the reason for no mirors it makes the kart go slower fall of quick can hit someone in the face

I would cry if that was my kart
I didnt know Grosjean raced carts at laguna seca
Грусть печаль тоска
Least he's alright.
I think Ericcson hits us
4:00 gotta walk it off
that had to have been fucking scary. Do they ever roll over?
Yes they do, that's how most karting deaths happen.
Why would you move left running 4th ???
I suspect he suddenly had a misfire or similar, and tried to pull off the racing line, thinking he was being passed on the right.
The other guy disliked the video!
that guy pulled a jeff gordon.(texas 2014)
sound measurement booth??? is that a joke?
***** No this track has sound restrictions for the rich people that live nearby.
3:48 is the crash
thats why you have to put on rear view mirrors!^^
