A new world land speed record for the the blind has been set at over 200mph by a South African man.
Hein Wagner already held a previous world record at 269km/h which he set in 2005 driving a Maserati Grandsport but had his record taken from him by a blind Belgian who managed 308km/h (192mph) in France driving a Lamborghini.
For this years attempt he broke it by driving a Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black to 322.5km/h. Not only did he achieve the incredible speed and break the 200mph barrier but he kept the speed for over 1,000 meters.
The world record was done at Upington International Airport in Durbanville, South Africa. To make sure Wagner was on course he had his friend Ray Wakefield sat in the passenger seat next to him.
For anyone to drive 200mph is a huge milestone to achieve, but for a blind man this record goes a huge step further as he is having to rely on his own skills and his friends guidance to make sure they stay safe and we think this is a driving experience that neither driver or passenger is going to forget!
