If they don't know each other well, dick move, but not cheating.

If they are buddies, then it's just plain hilarious.

If my buddy did that to me I'd be off the track from laughing.

If some other guy did it I'd be off the track from laughing.

Sometimes you just have to doff your cap and say "Touche, Sir."

Neither my phone nor my tablet will play the video, and my laptop is dead. Can I get a play by play of the shenanigans?

Straightaway, competitor closes in on the car, reaches out and folds the side mirror back.

reminds me of this charity kart race I was in a few years back.

the guy in the bike leathers was black flagged for "grip drafting" the red kart.We all had a good laugh afterwards about it.

That first time we had a thread about that video, I missed the mirror fold-in and when someone posted the GIF, then it was so obvious even I couldn't miss it.

Technically it probably runs afoul of any "unsportsman like conduct" clause that the rules might have...But practically speaking, he might expect to end up with some unbalanced wheels their next time on track together.
