Mask wearing at race meetings
Is this a brca rule or a Motorsports UK rule?
|
It's both
|
its actually from government, who have passed it to the sports authorities in order for them to do what they can do.
so as we fall under the MSUK banner they pass it to us and we follow it. |
Does that apply to everyone my lad has prescribed heart condition and wearing a mask is not ideal

simple fact here, if you don't believe in wearing a mask to go racing, stay home and stay safe..... ps for further debate from me you will need to sign off with your real name. or use www.brca.org/contact |
I don’t understand why this is even a discussion. It’s really simple.
If you want to race you wear a mask all day. If you don’t/won’t then you can’t race. Regardless of your expert medical theories on mask use during a global pandemic. |

I heard 2 drivers walked away from a meeting today as mask wearing wasn't enforced, ultimately the wrong ones lost out there.

Anyone not taking precautions, whatever they might think, shows a total lack of respect to your fellow racers, and no respect to the club's organisers. |

Do you think wearing a hi viz-vest will stop you getting injured while marshalling? No, but you still wear one just because the club asked you to. Whatever your 'opinion' on covid transmission, people have caught it just while meeting up and talking outside. Unless every single racer or family group is staying in their own personal gazebo or tent with no mixing of people and only coming out to race, or everyone is pitting out in the open with no tents, then you are not fully 'outside'. Racing 1/8th you could be spending 20 minutes on the podium downwind of someone with covid. Any precaution that helps reduce the chance of you or any of your fellow racers from being seriously ill or dying is a good thing. You have a much less chance of dying in a car accident, yet people don't complain about being 'forced; to wear a seatbelt. The BRCA is asking you to wear a piece of cloth over your face, not an N95 mask, not a respirator, just a thin piece of cloth. It's not difficult. |

Judging by the idiots who are cramming into shops and 'outdoor' pubs today people haven't learnt how to stop transmission. |

Without turning it into a debate or bashing people we are where we are.
The tricky thing is that the enforcement of masks can be seen as alienating some, but its not an intentional targeting of people its for the greater good for now until we can all get back to full normal. This will be controversial but my personal concern with people have exemptions and don't need to wear a mask, they can still spread it. Appreciate a wafer thin mask wont save me, but the mask is to protect everyone from me (not vice versa). Not looking to belittle people with exemptions I will be honest as I don't suffer I can only empathise with them. I certainly am not a fan of wearing a mask all day at a race event (had to wear it last week on a hot day) but like the high viz and gloves whilst they offer nothing to my experience I see them as conditions of entry. If i want to attend that race/track that is a condition of entry, simple as that. Its like having a BRCA membership it is a prerequisite for clubs to allow you to take part. |
I recall a number of hot summers in steel mills having to wear hot metal suits when working in parts of the mill. Was it pleasant? Nope. Was it required? Yep. Did I wear it? If I wanted to be there...

Can we just be happy that we can race?
I wear glasses so a mask is doubly difficult due to the steaming up issue (I had that problem last Sunday). I also have Anxiety problems which aren't helped by wearing a mask for any length of time. Yet, will I wear one to race? 100% yes! I think that if you have a medical issue that prevents you wearing a mask then you should be allowed to race but if you don't want to wear one then you have but one option: Don't race |
