I think there's a big difference between what laws are in different countries, and also what people expect. In England, as Marc said, you'd be in deep sh1t for writing an advert like that. Yes, sure, you may not want to have someone with a mental disability but you cannot make that clear in an advert. There was a famous case here (actually I don't know if it was fake or not) of an advert for an air traffic controller with an option to use braille to view the advert. This makes the law clear that you can't write: Air Traffic Controller wanted, but not if you're blind! Anyway, is the OP some kind of joke? Are we all now suddenly gonna start getting paid for sim racing? Can I quit my day job?
Then you need to read this: http://hiring.monster.co.uk/hr/hr-b...an-i-avoid-discrimination-in-job-adverts.aspx especially this line: "It's important for all businesses to ensure disabled candidates have as many opportunities to join their company as anybody else"
This from the UK Government website: 2. Discrimination during recruitment Discrimination in job adverts You must not state or imply in a job advert that you’ll discriminate against anyone. This includes saying that you aren’t able to cater for workers with a disability. Only use phrases like ‘recent graduate’ or ‘highly experienced’ when these are actual requirements of the job. Otherwise you could discriminate against younger or older people who might not have had the opportunity to get qualifications. Where you advertise might cause indirect discrimination - for example, advertising only in men’s magazines. https://www.gov.uk/employer-preventing-discrimination/recruitment
If it's the law, however hypocritical it may seem, it's the law, indeed.. For a truckdriver however, you know a blind person is never going to get hired, everybody knows it, but you can't actually say it. Weird
Because it's been a fine line legislating morality without infringement of civil liberties, but a dance that must continue.
You could easily be legally blind and not fit for a driver's license, yet still have the visual acuity to race in a sim. Simracing and real life are two different realms when it comes to "able-bodied". As for mental problems... well, one man's nightmare is another man's wet dream. The real question is whether the applicant can get along with their fellows and not take on destructive behaviors. Mental health has some bearing on this, but it's not a guarantee as every mind has different breaking points. Testosterone levels are more likely to be relevant than outright mental health (see BBC series "Secrets of the Sexes", Episode 1, about 25 minutes for the kart racing).
"Gooood afternoon sir! Do you want to get paid for Sim Racing! All we need is your sort code and bank account number so we can transfer the monies into your account!"
better to not apply if you are not fitting criteria than be told after you apply that you don't fit criteria,
All job descriptions are soon gunna end up a 20 page legal document when the ops few lines are perfectly explanatory, because the world is becoming a bunch of litigious Ars$%%@&^%s. Common sense should prevail, not ridicule for its own sake.
Don't get me wrong guys, i mean physical disease is not about dissabilities or different abilities, but about infectious diseases (maybe because my english is not good)

They are probably racing those cars and are afraid someone could transmit a disease after using the chrome horn
