And free eye tests with Specsavers are one of the benefits that license holders get.

On reflection, I suspect that is more a function of the FIA's rules than MSUK.

Correct.

MSUK requirements for Stress ECG etc haven't changed, but the FIA ones change a couple of years back to just be a consultation with a cardiologist who may require further tests which could entail a stress ecg

Medicals now valid for only 3 months. Used to be 12 which meant you could get two licenses per medical.
Now we more mature gentlemen will need one every year

The length of validity of the medicals has not changed, nor has the fact that you have to apply for you licence within three months of the date of the medical for it to be used in your licence application

If you have to buy an Itn C here, its a good thing because you won't have any change left for fags or alcohol. Very incentive.

I have! All the usual spin and bolleaux. A regurgitation of what's been there for a year or two, with a bit of tinkering around the edges. They actually admit up front that the measures previously taken have arrested the fall in race licences so it's difficult to see what problem they are trying to solve.
Certainly appears to be no attempt to get organisers to collaborate on calendars so event clashes are avoided, nor any appraisal of all the series and championships to see if a gentle culling would produce better sport (bigger grids) and less pressure on finding sufficient officials and marshals. I guess that's in the 'too hard' tray.
Still, new executives have to be seen to be doing something don't they. Emperor's new clothes anyone?

Seems that our instance is just realizing the national HTP's are not expensive enough, so lets go for an increase in prize! Clothes plus Louboutin shoes…

Hmm It seems that Medicals for International licenses are valid for a year, according to the MSUK web page

Renewal of International Licences

Your previous medical examination is valid for 12 months and can be used to renew your licence, provided that your application is received and processed before the 12-month validity period expires. The expiry of the 12-month validity period must be beyond 1st January 2020.

But National license medicals only last 3 months.
Is National racing more detrimental to your health then?

How many National licence holders compared to International?

Although why getting people to pay annually for a medical is of benefit is not clear. Is there some possible recompense involved?
