The Speed of Sight charity hosted an inclusive track day for people who are blind, partially-sighted or have disabilities which prevent them from driving. It gave them the chance to get behind the wheel of custom-built, dual-controlled racing cars and drive around the Three Sisters Circuit, Ashton-in-Makerfield.

Speed of Sight was founded by Mike Newman, who is himself blind and holds many Guinness world records for being the fastest blind driver, along with his friend John Galloway.
