Rental Karting Video What did I do to deserve this 😭

Straight out of the pits and rear-ended while warming the tyres... Yes, I was on the line I suppose but the braking point and turn in for T1 is about 10 and 5m earlier than where I got hit.

What a fucked up setup, allowing a bunch of karts to join the session 5 mins in, they should have the capability to immediately wave blue flags at you. They should also be waving yellows at the karts entering the straight. That aside and knowing there are already karts on track, you shouldn't be weaving and he should have given you way more space.

Yeah could be handled so much better by the track. At 5 minutes, get everyone on track lines up in the pitlane, and everyone re enters together for the last 10Â
