Adapted driving experiences
Participants drive specially adapted vehicles in controlled environments, supported by people who understand how to make the experience safe, positive and memorable.
UK Bailiffs proudly supports
Mike Newman’s Speed of Sight.
Freedom behind the wheel.
Mike Newman has set eight world speed records on land, water and in the air — in cars, trucks, motorbikes, planes and boats.
Remarkable in its own right. But there is one defining difference: Mike was born blind.
Through Speed of Sight, Mike and his team give blind, visually impaired and disabled people the chance to experience driving in specially adapted cars at safe race-track environments across the UK.

Born blind. Multiple world record holder. Founder of Speed of Sight. His story is proof that disability does not have to define ambition.

The man behind the movement
Mike Newman’s story is not background.
It is the heart of the charity.
Mike Newman was born blind, yet went on to become a multiple world record holder. His story gives Speed of Sight something many charities struggle to communicate: a powerful, living example of possibility.
Speed of Sight takes that message and turns it into an experience for others. Through adapted vehicles, trained support and safe circuits, the charity gives disabled participants the chance to feel speed, control, trust and independence.
It is not simply a driving day. It is a moment where someone gets to do something they may have believed was closed off to them.
Our day with Speed of Sight
UK Bailiffs team at Three Sisters Circuit
Why this matters to us
We saw it with our own eyes.
That is what makes the story powerful.
When our team spent the day with Speed of Sight, we didn’t just see adapted cars and track days. We saw people who had been told “you can’t” suddenly realise they still can.
We saw families crying with joy. We saw confidence return in real time. We saw the exact moment someone felt free again.
That is why we are proud to support them — and why we want to help more businesses discover this extraordinary charity.
Driver experiences are not the testimonial.
They are the product.
Do not sponsor an event.Craig Whinray, Director, UK Bailiffs
Sponsor the moment someone realises their life is still bigger than their disability.
What Speed of Sight delivers
More than driving.
Confidence, dignity and possibility.
The car is the mechanism. The track is the setting. The real impact is the person behind the wheel and the family watching from the side.
02
Confidence that lasts
The moment does not end when the engine stops. For many people, it is proof that independence, enjoyment and ambition are still available.
03
Family memories
Families get to see someone they care about experience freedom, control and joy in a way they may never have expected.
One experience. A much bigger effect.
Every drive creates impact far beyond the track.

Why UK Bailiffs supports Speed of Sight
We are not here to be promoted.

UK Bailiffs works with councils, solicitors, commercial landlords, managing agents, property professionals and businesses across the UK. We also support junior motorsport through Team Harry Holland, so we understand how powerful the link between business, community and motorsport can be.
For us, the opportunity is simple. Businesses like ours can use their platforms, contacts and networks to help more people discover what Speed of Sight already does so well.
