Someone misses a yellow flag and attempts to pass me near a yellow flag. Track marshals got it wrong and black flag me. Unfortunately I don't see the black flags for 2 laps, when I do I pit. There is an interesting miscommunication in the pits, I leave, get black flagged again and they park me from the race.

The incident is at 2:15, the discussion in the pits is at 7:10

    I got the black flag for throwing banana peels behind me.

    How to get kicked out of a go-kart race; 1. Get passed under yellow 2. Get back your rightful position 3. Serve your penalty 4. Explain the situation 5. Be allowed back into the race 6. Serve yet another penalty 7. Get told to get out of the kart I don't understand either

    Damn, I had no idea all the pro go-kart racers in the world hung out in the comment section to this video

    Braking is very important to go fast, if you drift you lose speed

    i'd ask for my money back.

    What PISSES me off is when they say "no bumping" and shit... Like it's going to happen.. I have to fucking slow down when I'm going in sharp and someone wants to barely come over... Like if they want no bumping, then it's almost impossible to pass people.. Unless they are stupid and stay out the outside the whole time

    "how to get kicked out a go kart race" me: oh this looks interesting 7 minutes of raw uncut footage for an anticlimactic ending -_-

    this flag system sucks.. they should just invest in headsets.
  • @sixstanger00
    Any way you could show the marshals your video footage afterwards to prove you didn't break any rules? Seems to me like a free race is in order......

    I thought the pit guy was saying like "oh sorry, okay go.... go...GO!" with his hand movements. After I watched it a second time I figured out it was all just a big communication error on top of their mistake!

    You substituted the audio with a sound track of a GoPro falling down a rocky hill, why?

    What is it about those Gopro camera's that make me want to scratch out my eardrums with a rusty nail?!?

    +Hamlet telmaH The black flag was for the "pass" at 2:19.  Basically I think the race director was caught napping, looked up saw two karts side by side passing the yellow zone, saw me end up ahead a few corners later and incorrectly assumed I was behind before we got to the yellow. All the marshalls do not show the yellow because they are usually "local" meaning you only have to exercise caution and not pass in the section the yellow is displayed, for the rest of the lap you can continue racing.  I never figured out what exactly the yellow was for, the spun out kart was on the back section of the track, and there was no incident near the yellow we passed.  My best guess is they had to cross the track to assist the spun out kart, although they usually don't need a yellow in another part of the track for that. The track usually ran in the other direction and I don't think they repositioned the flagging stations that well to make them easy to see relative to where you usually look while driving the track, and the flaggers are generally not very experienced in racing.

    should change the title to "how to get kicked out of a go kart race for racing", if i was you i would find a new track with people who know what they are doing running it, they black flagged a guy who was overtaken in a yellow flag, this place is a joke
  • @441greenleaf
    why you didnt showed them the video from your gopro? so you could get an apoligy and maybe a free run next time
  • @craigjasper2502
    I am impressed that the flagmen (who hours prior were looking to pick up work on a hub corner) took the race more seriously than you did. Loved that you ran off, leaving the poor chap feeling like he was going to lose his pension! Thanks for cracking me up.

    I hope you showed them the video after, you did nothing wrong...
