The MSA must have written these regs in that way to avoid the unscrupulous or those mad-keen to keep racing, lying or just not telling a paddock doc about illnesses that could ban them, for good reason, that the GP would know about.

It protects other drivers and the sport, so why do they not enforce it?

one reason might be practicalities; can you imagine Lewis popping down to the local surgery to see his GP? If just one person has a private doctor the 'own GP' bit becomes meaningless surely?
