Medical conditions
As an interested spectator, can anyone help me with what sorts of conditions would mitigate against an individual being considered for a competition licence?
I've always chuckled at a friend of mine who on being told that his racing days were over by his doctor (at 70 years plus) promptly went out and found a more sympathetic doctor - but there have to be things which could cause problems. Is colourblindness an issue? Blood pressure? Diabetes, Epilepsy or Angina? Would you be happy racing against someone who has squeaked through a medical by the skin of their teeth? It is a sad fact of life that we could all name racing drivers who have succumbed to a heart condition on track. Is this a risk too far for other competitors? Opinions, anyone? |
