where was this?

[Milenium412]

2:36 was a sick accident.. 

[heartbreaker24ace1o]

amazing track and amazing driving. but it only takes to seconds to understand that it is never going to have a race here without a flag of what sort

[kybear38]

how long is this track? 

[secure777]

What a dumass the guy who stop the race!!!Just move him out of the way and let them keep going!!

[SeaRanger311]

Tbh he could of just braked i mean shit was going down when 3 karts tried to fit into the 1 spot.

[Austinphe]

emagin if he had a seatbelt. that would be funnier

[saxmanchiro]

Mon Dieux c'est fun.

[christian86a]

And no one hurry to help him?

[mybizuk]

Those Euro rear bumpers aint worth a wank eh!

[FASTBOOBS]

2:35 ! crash!

[DaSnowManDies]

2:38 was funny

[bob333336]

@DaSnowManDies Funny? That looked painful...

[billymanchild]

God damn that looks fun

[bluntactioncop]

For me, it looks like there are pure idiots competing in the race. This looks like an easily avoidable accident to me. Considering karting, I'm just a layman, so I actually can't assess the situation...if I'm on the wrong track, tell me!

[mattisherwood]

@bluntactioncop It wasn't anyones fault

[Shifterkart22]

@bluntactioncop You most certainly are on the wrong track, karting accidents happen SO FAST that its literally impossible avoid something like that. I've been in very very similar accidents, and there's just nothing you can do. The guy in the previously leading SwissHutlass got squeezed, the pack slowed and the guy behind the pack got catapulted. Those black bumpers are now implemented to try and avoid catapulting but unfortunately they didn't do their job this time.

[bluntactioncop]

@Shifterkart22 thanks for your comment. I watched the real-time part again (not the slomo) and it really looks inevitable....everything happens so fast. I guess there was a time where they used front spoilers which are getting pulled of in case of a rear-end collision. Why are they gone?

[86takuma]

where is this track?

[Janusha]

Thats an unusually bad crash there at 2 minutes 37.

[TheCinephil]

this was confirmed to me by Norm Trottier TSN Karting Analyst and top mecanics at SRA Karting Racing team in this event, temp was 31 celsius so I doudbt they needed to take some air off radiators to get temp higher

[kimi850]

@TheCinephil did they comfirm you about that they can adjust the fuel mix in rotax max? I raced in rotax last year in sweden and its not allowed here. It should be same rules because its a internationall class :S I know that in yamaha whit kt 100 engins it allowed to adjust the fuel mix during the race :)

[nathe37]

wtf this circuit is so damn dangerous!!!

[TheCinephil]

MINI MAX 10-13 (some 13 are competeng in JR)

Rotax JR 14-15 (depending on size ) some 16 are too heavy to compete with JR

so they make the jump in Senior

Rotax Max SR 16 and above (those in the clip are)

[bjornke123456789]

@TheCinephil lol im 12 and i race with a senior but in a month im gonna race with a dd2 because im gonna get one

[neverislove]

How old are the racer?

[pwchhades]

nice race

[kartcorse19]

i know how thermostats work...but i also know that they do not work as great as you may think...for a hobby racer it may be satisfying but in racing with half a warm up lap....it isn't enough to put a thermostat in your cooling system...sorry, but in big international races we do not even use thermostats, because they don't work fast enough! instead we use an arm or a radiator blind...so we can control the temperature by ourselfs and do not have any problems in case of a thermostat failure...

[TheLoneWolfe4Life]

wtf a red flag ohh cmon were i raced when something happends like that we get the yellow tell the cart is off the track we only get red if there was near death involved

[h4rryk4ye]

oh shit a guy just flipped his car, i know ill wave a flag!

[david1513]

you should see duel 135 cc formula two stroke karts run on a one mile stright away, speeds over 200 mph, im not sure thay run this type racing anylonger its enduro racing on like motor speed ways here in new castal indiana we have a 5 mile kart racing track here, its realey fast, but rotex shifter karts are the norm here, in green field indiana we use to race in a park at very high speeds not many things can out run a go kart many have tryied it but thay always get beat,

[david1513]

it looked like the car number 34 caused the accident after the race was stoped the guy in black with white stripes on his arms and legs and blue green yellow helmet to the left of the screen he looking bewilldered walking in cercles way down at the end in the pits, he caused the accident ive seen this before, a driver after a accident is lost bewilldered can't get his bearings,

[IdiotsCommentBelowMe]

Eventhough there's always a possibilty to fall out like that, I wish I could do karting for a living. :/

[gingernutbumchin]

That was a pretty sweet crash



[YankeeRhoad]

Holy crap this is cool

[HafnerRacing]

Hi exciting race!

why did they red flag it if it was only one racer that actually crashed,there was no injuries and the kart was not in the middle of the road,the race could have continued i dont understand?

[SlickBLook]

@HafnerRacing

Driver was hurt

[HafnerRacing]

@SlickBLook he stood up and seemed ok

ok if he was hurt but he was out of tha race track and the kart was only a push away from the track

[TheCinephil]

@HafnerRacing

Hi there, bare in mind this is an editing of the 12 cameras on site . there was not a feed of all cameras official could see so they only relied on radio communications for their decision.

Also bare in mind that the ambulance was called on the track to check him out so red flag

[HafnerRacing]

@TheCinephil ok thanks that perfectly explains it all

check my hillclimb in a 70hp 1.1cc kia fi u like its on my chanel as onboard

drive safe and thanks for the explanation

[LAtrailers]

@HafnerRacing lol dude, he almost died.

[YAZBECKF1]

@HafnerRacing the car flipped and rolled?

wouldnt you have wanted the race to stop if that was you in there?

[HafnerRacing]

@YAZBECKF1 no not necesarily if i was out of the race without putting myself in more danger or other drivers,i would have been ok being on my way to hospital and letting the race continue,yes that would be ok for me

[Krzy98]

they put their hand on radiator to get the temp up. these motors run perfect at 170 degrees. so they warm them up as high as they can

[sid4schumacher]

why do they place their hand on the radiator on the warm up lap :/

[TheCinephil]

@sid4schumacher

Hi there , they are not putting their hand on the radiator, they are pinching the fuel line

these engines aren't built to run at idle... so to reduce fuel intake before the green flag and for a clean start

thats is actually what they do according to TSN Karting Analyst and long time mecanic Norm Trottier

[sid4schumacher]

@TheCinephil What happens if you don't do that? These are rotax engines is it?

[kimi850]

@TheCinephil Are you sure that they are pinching the fuel line? That isn´t allowed in rotax max if I remember

it right.... If you ask me why they are putting their hand on the radiator is beacause they want the right enginetemperature before the race starts.

[gp4nut]

@sid4schumacher usually its to restrict the air, like pulling out the choke on a pre-D.I. car to increase the fuel to air ratio before the engine is warmed up.

[kartcorse19]

@sid4schumacher

sometimes it isn't necessary to pinch your fuel line especially for the rotax max. but anyway...they had a short warm up lap, so sometimes you put your arm over the radiator to get more heat into the engine. otherwise they use an adjustable radiator blind to help getting the right temperature for the engine, because a cold engine has a better chance to blow-up than a warm engine. you would also see that if you look closer...no hand on a carburettor but an arm on the radiator.

[kartcorse19]

thats what i always did at my ica time. but i had the radiator on the left side and had to take care for my carburettor, too. that wasn't really easy but worked pretty well ;) anyway. nice track but it looks kinda dangerous according to modern race tracks even monaco. 40cm high bales of straw to stop a high speed crash? are you kidding? i think some more and higher tecpro barriers would be more effective and safer. especially along the waterside. these fences wouldn't help in a serious action.

[TheArfdog]

@kartcorse19 Hand over the radiator? That's stupid. I guess they haven't discovered thermostats yet in karts. LOL.

[kartcorse19]

@TheArfdog

if you ever raced you should know that thermostats won't help as fast as you need...it's about real racing...not just cruising around...

[TheArfdog]

@kartcorse19 Huh? What does it have to do with cruising around? A thermostat constantly adjusts how much coolant can flow to the radiator to maintain exact coolant temperature all the time.... if you don't know how thermostats work just say so bro.

[D4t4R3cord3r]

@sid4schumacher they warm up the engine

[fabianromano]

poor guy at 2:36

[DejemyrDesign]

@fabianromano standard in karting...

[sk4tcH]

why does he show the blue flag in the first round???

[protoss1210]

ouch. thats what i worry about karting, so hard to pass people up.

[vladakisa]

what speed these things have??? looks fast.

[TheCinephil]

@vladakisa

Rotax Senior : 120 140 KM/h

DD2 Rotax even faster

Kartring provides the best power to weight ratio that almost anything in motorsport except F1 and IRL

[MrRoccstar]

@TheCinephil

rotax 140 KM/ H

i drive a K9 C and KZ 10 shifter and i know how fast are a rotax senior and a dd2

[riccardo181]

è da pazzi correre qui!

[Logheuger]

in Germany unthinkable..... !

[TheCinephil]

@Logheuger

can you ad to your comment

[GOGULETTE]

@Logheuger

No its at Trois-Rivières city, Québec, Canada

[maladsyko]

[doodog]

any chance this has been aired yet ?

[HunterArmstrong191]
