One of the world’s only blind racing car drivers will give people the chance to drive blindfolded at an event.
The UniBol Stadium in Bolton is hosting the event Mental Live on February 3, with lots of activities focussed around wellbeing.
Mike Newman from Stoneclough started the charity, Speed Of Sight 10 years ago to help others who otherwise would never be able to experience what it is like behind a wheel.
The cars are open top with dual controls and two steering wheels to allow for driver assist.
Drivers are in the car for up to 20 minutes, with a whole pit crew on hand to help them get in and out of the car.
The experience will be at the event in Bolton, giving anybody a chance to experience driving without seeing.
