In my defence, the super-elite kart that broke it's drive chain had done that on other drivers twice already, earlier in the day...
And when I swapped to an elite, to complete the session, the engine kept losing all power as I went through a corner. It would drop down to idle, splutter a bit, then pick up again once I was heading in a straight line. Made for quite an interesting drive I must say!

And since the event has passed, it's been taken off as a "global announcement" and turned back into a regular thread...

one repair took him 90 minutes... new chain, and adjusting the engine position.

Re: WARSUG Social Event
So really the fact that it was in state that could have been broken again without much effort really says that it wasn't fixed enough!
