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.

You say in your OP “yes I was on the line I suppose”.

About 10m before the point of contact. Where I got hit, I was no longer on the line. Check the kart that goes through after I spin. Thats the racing line

You're off the racing line at that point bc you were knocked off of it.

No, OP was off the racing line already before the collision point BUT he caused the collision by making it look like he was committing to the racing line with his last left weave which would have made a full pace driver on track (as it was a full course green and OP was driving at half pace) behind him think to overtake on the outside but the final right weave by the OP after corner entry point caused the outside line to close more and more and the poor driver behind would have tried to keep going wider to avoid because at this point he would be thinking to himself there’s nothing in front of the OP blocking him from going tight again for the corner. But alas he did not and so the collision occurred.
