Mike 'Super Human' Newman has nine world records
Fifty Isle of Man residents who have visual impairments, or other disabilities, are being given the chance to experience the thrill of motor racing.
It’s thanks to a nine-time world record holder billed the ‘fastest blind man on the planet’.
Mike ‘Super Human’ Newman - who was born completely blind - decided to pursue his lifelong ambition of becoming a racing driver and holds land speed records of up to 200mph.
In April next year he'll be back, with his charity Speed of Sight, to help others experience the thrill of being behind the wheel.
Manx Radio's Christian Jones went to Jurby Racetrack to speak to him:
The Isle of Man chapter of the British and Irish Trading Alliance is raising money for the Isle of Man charity Sight Matters which is hosting the event on 25, 26 and 27 April.
