Well, while it\u2019s never a popular point of view, none of us are getting any younger (though many of our cars are!). While this doesn\u2019t necessarily pose a direct problem, with increasing age comes the increased likelihood of health problems. This is unfortunately true for racers, just like everyone else. Without doubt, there has never been any point in time in motorsport history, when there have been as many older, active drivers as there are right now. As a result of this, racing has never seen as many age- and health-related on-track problems, as we have seen in the past few years. If you have been racing even a modest amount over the past five years, then the chances are good that you have either seen or at least heard of someone having a heart attack at the track. The truth is that the act of racing (even vintage racing) is just as physically arduous now as it was 20 or more years ago. But how many of us can say that we are in as good a shape as we were 20 years ago? It doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t race, it just means that we should take a few extra precautions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
