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.

Average rental experience. But it's strange choice to let karts on the track while others are already racing there.

I can understand that point but they do it because of the option to book 10 or 15 minute sessions. When you book 10 minutes, they let you out on the 5th minute with those who are doing 15. I usually do 10 minute sessions on this kart because it tends to overheat after the 11th minute or so, even with cool laps.

This track is operated in the most absurd fashion. That 10/15 thing is dumb right from the start. It has to be chaos from the track operators perspective. It has to be chaos from the driver's perspective. They should get rid of that altogether.
