In this video I'll be giving you some karting beginner tips on how to deal with "that" kind of guy that thinks the track is all his and will drive defensive lines, ignore you, ignore the marshals and try to just keep the experience about him.

    Nice mindset, nice driving as well. What gear are you using to record these videos?

    Thanks! I use a retro SMK helmet for scooters with a top and side sticky gopro mount. I mainly use just my GoPro Hero 12 for videos, sometimes I use an insta360 x2 for 360 shots if I want to show or see what's been happening behind me. The POV with the GoPro is by far the best for viewing driving behavior though.

    I've never been to a track that shows blue flags in a practice session. I'd say overtaking a defensive driver is a key skill to learn and as long as they're not being silly, like weaving or forcing you into the walls, then it's good fun too.

    It's just a normal timed session, so blue flags are very common and enforced on a lot of tracks in Flanders, in my experience. For race practise, I get that. And yeah, you're also right, it showed me I can't overtake as I should so that's why I'm going to start doing races to learn that. 👍

    If you'd be so kind to elaborate, then I can try to understand your point of view! Do remember, I've had a talk with the guy both after my session behind him and after his fight, it's based around that crucial info that I provide the commentary in the video.

    The amount of clean laps you wasted trying to get past, why not get off the gas and wait 30sec?

    @@adamcameron9029 I get what you mean, but the track has 36,5s laps, the other guy was paced 1s slower per lap. There's others too, so I'd be able to lag behind 5-10 seconds, catching up to him 1 or 2 times again. Then take into account that some other slow traffic might slow this guy down more than me. So I'd catch up sooner. Additionally, it was my first session and I couldn't see the monitor, so no idea whether there were faster guys behind me neither. I get your point of view, and I have done that in the past, but 90% of the time people just see a blue flag, and get out of the way, so it doesn't seem worth the bother in most cases. But that's my 2 cents.

    If that's your opinion I sincerely hope never coming across you at any racing track. Why would the guy behind who's obviously faster be to blame in any way?!
