On Tuesday June 1st, a new type of pilot took to the track at the Ledenon racing circuit in the Gard department (France). On the initiative of the association « The magnificent partially-sighted in their crazy machines », and in reply to an invitation from the director of the Ledenon circuit, Marie Bondurand, 6 partially-sighted people became racing car pilots, just for one day. With the help of several driving schools which had made the trip specially, driving instructors gave the pilots the necessary instructions to enable them to move easily around the racetrack. Our pilots turned out to be real racers. Halfway through the day, at the invitation of NVDM, two special guests arrived : Michèle Mouton, the famous female racing driver, world rally vice-champion in 1982 and today director of the World Rally Championship (WRC), and Julien Ingrassia, co-pilot to Sébastien Ogier, world team rally champion in 2013-2014, and the present leader in the 2015 WRC stakes. They all took up their seats in their cars, blindfolded. Michèle Mouton, as usual, stepped on the gas, whereas Julien Ingrassia drove with a bit more restraint…. After lunch and a lot of discussion, our VIPs went back to their duties on the racetrack. The members of the association « The magnificent partially-sighted in their crazy machines » went home with their eyes full of these magical moments…. The next aventure for NVDM will be next August, on the Laquais 38 circuit (France), with the former Formula 1 pilot, Olivier Panis. Another great event to look forward to. More of this later….
