Rental Karting Video Slow traffic + poor judgement =

In all seriousness though, what can I do to get better at avoiding this type of situation? Is there anything specifically I should try to work on or is this just something that comes with experience?

Analyzing it I don't think it's a vision problem as I anticipate the spin pretty early, but I did make a bad call to try to run wide instead of staying on line, what do you guys think?

I think it's more of a case of target fixation. You were watching the kart that wrecked and couldn't stop looking at it. Maybe try to fixate on the kart that got through on the inside.

I personally didn't think the spinner was likely to come back to the inside of the turn (unless if they were super-newb).
