We've been given exclusive access to a Greater Manchester based charity which is giving blind and disabled people the chance to get behind the wheel of a racing car.

Speed of Sight has been set up to give people the opportunity to drive a car around a race track with the help of an instructor.

It's as one in three of us will experience a form of disability in our lifetime which will stop us from holding a UK driver's license.

Our reporter Amy Scarisbrick was invited along to Three Sisters Race Circuit in Wigan to experience a track day for herself:
