Dear EVERYONE: Rotary Bangalore Abilities is glad to announce 11TH CAR RALLY FOR THE BLIND-2018.
The details are: You are on the wheel, but you wait for the PERSON in the passenger seat to tell if you’ve to turn left or right at the junction. Why? Because the person at the passenger seat is blind and he/she will be reading out the route from the Braille map. Quite thrilling, right? This’s all real and will be happening at the 11th Car Rally for the Blind-2018. Date: Sunday, August 5, 2018 Time: 9 am Venue: Vega City Mall, No, 172/1, Srinivas Industrial Estate, Bannerghatta Road, Dollar Layout, BTM Second Stage, Bengaluru-560072. (Opp Jayadeva circle) If you have a car, any car, then register with us by sending a WhatsApp message to: +91 6361668325 . Don’t worry if you don’t know the blind navigator, we will pair you with one. Apart from the fun and excitement, you’ll feel fantastic about working with a blind partner to be a champion in a race. Believe us, no other sporting entertainment can give you the fun and add meaning to a day. The 11th Car Rally for the blind-2018 is Jointly organised by Rotary Bangalore Abilities, 90degree (event manager) and Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI). This is also a way you support the cause of persons with disability.

Driver will not know the route. *The blind person reads out the route to the driver, who has to follow the instructions from the navigator. This develops good coordination between the driver and the navigator, a sporting and competitive environment to get an understanding of how a blind person functions and his strengths. *Any home car, starting from a Maruthi Suzuki, could be used. *This race is held in Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) format, Which means the instruction from the navigator also contains the speed limits the driver has to maintain. The thrill and excitement of the race is that it’s not entirely dependent on speed. *Anyone with a good driving skill can be a part of the race. *Have a car and want to be a part of the race? We will pair you up with a navigator. *Is this your first time? We’ll put you in the category of the first timers so that you compete truly with your peers. *Women drivers will be paired with women navigators if they prefer and they would compete as a woman’s team category. *Physically challenged people who drive special modified cars are a different category of drivers who could pair up with a blind navigator and be a part of the race. *Rotary rural clubs are a special category by themselves.
