Remembering Ayrton Senna (20 years since Imola 1994)

For the F1 peeps on here, today marked 20th anniversary of Ayrton Senna's passing

I came accross a good BBC article (BBC Sport - Ayrton Senna: Imola circuit holds silence for Brazilian 20 years on) and a first of several new programs commemorating him this week...so I thought I share.

I also think I will also rewatch SENNA tonight

From the 26th of April to the 2nd of May SkySportsF1 will be airing a series of programs commemorating Ayrton Senna, these shows are part of what is collectively called Senna Week.

Today, Part 1

The Top Gear memorial was so well done. I never watched F1, but after seeing TG I looked him up and watched some of his high-light reels.

Twenty years ago... That's insane. I still remember hearing the radio report that day while sitting shotgun with my dad in traffic!

20 years...
After his death, we stop watching F1...


Mr. Kawasaki, who was in charge of his helmet maintenance, was kind enough to let my wife to hold the helmet and to meet Senna.
