Superdrive is primarily an outdoor venue for karting and rally car driving. However, a tailored course was set up in which ten people with sight loss got the chance to drive a rally car on a track and also experience being in the passenger seat of a rally car driving at high speeds!

Leo Murphy, one of the participants spoke on behalf of the group saying; “The driving experience was fantastic! I have now fulfilled a life long ambition of being behind the wheel of a car and driving for the first time. The practical knowledge and direction given by the driving instructors made it an energising experience.”
