    i was marshalling this race. i remember this crash by the guy who got out and sprinted to his son at the bottom of ramp. after your session finished all staff were given a thankyou from a lot of the people who was involved in this crash. we try our best to make sure everyone’s okay and when they thank us for it, we appreciate it so thankyou!

    The same thing has happened to me so may times in races. Getting hit with like 60km/h in the side of the kart or crashing head on into the wall with 80km/h. The rib protector really does save you and does more than we think to protect us.

    • @RobGoesRacing

      Absolutely! I wear a simple one at the moment, and I'm sure it saved the rib from cracking. Definitely will be upgrading to "proper" karting one asap!

    Any racing is inherently dangerous. An accident like that can happen anytime. It’s important to have people who know how to manage those situations. So thanks to the marshals. I used to do marshaling at rallye events and was vice stage manager. Worst was watcher’s just walking on the stage randomly and ignoring you

    I went to one of these tracks and they said my driving style was too extreme. Do you have any tips for me and how I can improve my driving style

    • @RobGoesRacing
      @RobGoesRacing  Рік тому +4

      It all really depends on what they were saying was extreme, I guess.
      I'd slow down a bit, make sure you're being smooth with all your inputs (indoor karting works better with smooth steering), not making contact with karts or barriers, then slowly build the pace back up.

    Great channel and video. Come back to me when you've hit a wall so hard you fly out the kart backwards and land on your back with your head hitting the track (helmet obviously). This happened to me at Paphos Karting in Cyprus a few years back. Subscribed.
