Well I'd go with Three but I'd crop it so the back of the vehicle was at right edge of the screen and the bottom of the image started just above the white mark on the road.....I'd also look at mirror flipping it so the driver looks like he's going left to right as that is more "pleasing" for a western society I believe.

#3 seems sharpest where it matters and is composed with space ahead of the kart (which is preferable to having it behind).
By contrast #1 is a bit fuzzy around the drivers helmet and the OOF kart in #2 seems a little distracting.
