Blind Powerboat Speed Record 1st November 2013
BLIND DRIVER BREAKS WATER SPEED RECORD IN TORBAY
Mike Newman now holds both land and water speed records when he hit 95.18mph in Silverline on Friday
Not a household name yet but 52 year old father of two Mike Newman set a unique world water speed this week when he stormed across Torbay behind the wheel of Drew Langdon's Buzzi designed 'Silverline' setting a new record for blind people.
Naturally he had Langdon alongside giving instructions.
Mike's achievements don't end there as he also holds the world land speed record after driving a Porsche at 186mph.
Mike Newman is the first person since Donald Campbell to hold both the world water and land speed records at the same time
