Mike has spent two days training for the attempt, and now the weather has started to improve.

A bank manager from Sale in Greater Manchester will attempt to become the world's fastest blind man.

Mike Newman is hoping to drive a supercar at more than 200mph (321 km/h) to reclaim the world blind speed record in Carmarthenshire.

It was taken earlier this year by a Turkish driver, Metin Sentuk, who reached 187mph (301km/h).

He will be guided across Pendine sands by his father, who is also his trainer, watching from a helicopter overhead.

Mr Newman experienced a setback during a practice run yesterday, after his car began to spin and suffered minor damage.

Checks and repairs are being made to see if the attempt can resume later.

Mr Newman, 48, who was born blind, is also raising money for charity, including Guide Dogs for the Blind, and to encourage motor sport for the disabled.

The business manager with Barclays said: "I've been a keen motorsports fan most of my life and this has given me an opportunity of a lifetime - a dream to drive a super car.

"In the process of that I get the chance to break the land-speed record for a blind driver, driving unaccompanied."

The car being used is British-built, the Keating TKR, designed and manufactured by Keating Supercars Ltd in Manchester. - BBC News
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
