Motorsport For The Disabled

Imagine not being able to drive because of disability caused by illness or accident. What if you were a motorsport enthusiast who participated in racing and suddenly found yourself unable to participate?

Thanks to companies such as Adaptacar, disabled drivers are able to drive around town and country and use their vehicles to participate in motorsport.

The British Motor Sports Association for the Disabled is a site for disabled motorsport enthusiasts to find information about how and where to compete.

If extreme sports are your thing, then you need to head over to the XDM (X-treme Disabled Motorsport) site. Here you can drive off-road vehicles that only require head movement to control.

Rallying for the disabled is also possible through ParaRallying. These folks give disabled drivers opportunity to get behind the wheel of a rally car and drive on both a loose gravel and a tarmac special stage against the clock driving a fully adapted car instructed by a professional rally driver.

It is fantastic that those who find themselves disabled can participate fully in the driving experience. Of course there are many more links than those mentioned here. I will feature others in the future.
