This study aimed at identifying the barriers perceived by people with visual impairment to practice street racing. Participants were seven 22-54-year-old visually impaired residents from Florianópolis. A semi-structured interview was conducted to gather information about the barriers to sports practice. Their accounts pointed to city planning barriers related to the terrain as well as obstacles and barriers specific to sport related to insecurity due to lack of accessibility, guides and unequal participation in competitions. They also mentioned communication and information, attitudinal, technological and architectural barriers. People with visual impairment face numerous barriers to practice street racing, making it difficult to maintain it. The study proposes possible solutions to the problems found, significantly reducing the main barriers and contributing to safe and egalitarian practice.
