Eating is not that easy, I have been told that it would probably make it worse as having anything in your gut would make it quicker to be ill.

It is nothing to do with seeing, or vision, that is all fine. It is simply an inner ear problem stemming back to a time when I had ear issues as a child, I would imagine my ears have been slightly damaged by this and this is the result. I suppose I could go to a specialist etc, but really this is supposed to be good cheap fun and that means its not going to be.

I have never been able to manage more than a few short races in a kart, have never been any good on things like merry go rounds.

but I presumed that being in control and able to concentrate would perhaps rule this issue out as I never get it while driving normally and only as a rear seat passenger if someone is driving like a berk on twisty hilly roads.

I was very ill at the Nordschliefe so did some research on here and elsewhere to find there were pills you could take, so I tried that, it worked OK at Snetterton. But Cadwell was appalling, literally after 2 laps I could feel the nausea coming.

there are other things I could try, but as I say this is supposed to be fun, and this takes all that away as you are just sitting there waiting for it to happen, and in all honesty I tried it and even when I was fine didn't enjoy it very much sadly. Rather boring.

I can always try something else, but this was a way to get out there and see, imagine if I had bought loads of gear ARDS etc.
