My driver went round the corner properly, came upon the miscreant and a yellow flag so braked sharply, back to walking pace, so the offender managed to pull away and block into the next corner.
1. Could he have legitimately have overtaken the "recovering" kart under yellow flag? Would he have been penalised for doing so?
2. Should it have been a white flag shown instead of yellow?
On a related point two of my drivers were called to the office because one was accused of overtaking the other under yellow. The "overtaken" driver, barely eight years old,, when presented with the evidence, calmly told the stewards the "the other driver is my team mate and he's faster than me so I pulled over and waved him by." By all accounts the drivers were ushered out so the clerks could stop laughing, at which point they were recalled - "no case to answer."

1 Is two seperate questions the first No, the second yes he could (as per rules)
2 christ how long we talking?... most things happen in seconds for karting... was it slow that long? how long? before I state which flag I would want shown
Real time is a big factor in any circumstance... what you say on paper actually means very little in reasl time I believe.
