I don't think that works as a qualification. You don't have to be in shape to play baseball or basketball or any other "sport".
Video games are sports, now.

Formula one is far more grueling than karting so if you have karted you will have some understanding of how fit you need to be to drive flat out for two hours at upto 200 mph in a Formula one car.

A sport is essentially some form of competition between individuals or teams in which specified rules exist and there exists some winning condition that is not achieved primarily through luck. It has to be based on skill.
