We had a 5 place penalty for leaving the tram lines, ok, fair enough, that is what was seen.
On looking back at a video of the start, our driver was being pushed very hard from behind by a 4/kart(we being 2/) and was really fighting to hold on to the kart at 45 degrees! but wandered outside the lines.
Personally, I/we accepted this as a race start and so hard to judge, they can only see it once and at full speed!
You will lose some, you will win some , that is racing!
This is totally different from the team tactics of deliberately bullying/ganging up on a faster driver to put him off the track. (big cadet team with blue karts,is it win at all cost? just for your personal bank balance? or can you actually race honestly? to show a modicum of talent
