Johnny Reid driving the 2011 Volvo S60 blindfolded

Here’s something we definitely recommend you don't try at home. New Zealand race car driver Jonny Reid was put behind the wheel of a new 2011 Volvo S60 and asked to flog the car around a race track he’s very familiar with. Should be easy; now imagine him doing it wearing a blindfold.

The videos below show Reid completing the challenge at Hampton Downs Raceway in New Zealand. Together with his own instincts for the track, as well as some much instruction from co-driver Earl Bamber, Reid managed to finish in 1m 28s and even reached speeds as high as 120 mph.

Check out all the action below, it’s well worth it.
