SAFETY Concussion Fears
www.racetechmag.com 58 SAFETY Concussion fears BELOW Matt Neal’s BTCC title hopes were ended when he was diagnosed with concussion following this Brands shunt, keeping him out of the day’s final race competitors, than is currently the case. These injuries are concussions. Many drivers and those around them dismiss concussion as merely ‘a bang on the head’. But Doctor Paul Trafford, Medical Director to the British Touring Car Championship for 26 years and today a leading figure in motorsport medical safety, argues that they are much more than that. “One way of classifying traumatic brain injuries is as mild, moderate, or severe, and a concussion is a brain injury, usually at the mild end,” Dr Trafford says. “The phrase ought to be thrown away, however, because people don’t consider concussion as an injury to the brain – they say “he’s PSP Images fine, a bit of a bang on the head, a bit concussed, but he’ll be okay.’” The definition of concussion is a chemical change in the brain as a result of some insult to it, principally through rotational forces. While there is no bleed into the BIG BANG brain, it can be described as fibres being torn releasing chemicals. “It’s not defined by symptoms such as a headache, or loss of vision, or being grumpy, it’s a chemical imbalance in the brain – the symptoms can THEORY vary,” says Dr Trafford. Concussion injuries are often dismissed as ‘a bang on the head’ but are becoming a very real concern in A NEW ISSUE motorsport.

Go! Go! Welcome to your new-look DDMC newsletter, from your new Editor-in-Chief and orange-clad news hound. I’d like to start by introducing myself for those of you who don’t know me; I’m Carolyn, a relatively new DDMC member most often found shivering (or baking as we saw this month) on one of Croft’s marshals’ posts. August’s edition of the newsletter is a bit of a mix of things. The Northern Saloons were in action in July, supporting the return of the Britcar Endurance to Croft. Before that the BTCC was in town, where we were able to give them a proper Northern welcome. We have all our usual contributions, plus a couple of new features I’d love to hear any feedback on. Please email [email protected] if you would like to make any comments or suggestions, or you have anything you would like to submit for publication. Whether you’ve got a burning opinion you want to get off your chest, or you’ve got something you need to sell/swap/unload onto someone else, I’d love to hear it.
