BLINDINGLY FAST

Growing up, Ben had a passion for motor racing and a dream, as well as the talent, to become a professional motorbike rider.

However, following a motorbike accident in his teens, Ben learned that he had a degenerative eye disease that would slowly, but surely take away his sight and potentially rob him of his dreams.

This didn’t stop him though.

In March 2018, Ben wrote his name in the history books as The Fastest Blind Man on A Motorcycle, clocking a new World Record of 266.716 km/h (165.730 mph) and showing the world that he may have lost his sight, but his vision was clearer than ever.

In March 2024, Ben aims to go one step further by becoming The Fastest Blind Man in Australia, on four wheels.

Switching to a car, Ben will pilot a professionally-modified electric vehicle towards 200kph.
