30 years ago today….May 1st 1994

Post by Mark Loraine » Wed May 01, 2024 1:25 pm


We lost one of the greatest Auto Racers to have ever lived; Ayrton Senna. All you have to do is watch his first Formula one race 10 years earlier, at Monte Carlo in a Tolman back marker and the rest pretty much falls into place. He often practiced with his race karts and even sponsored Brazilian karting events to draw more attention to the sport.
If you havent seen the documentary called Senna, you are missing out on a great film of his life.
Gone but dearly remembered.

At the end of the Senna movie as credits roll he is asked who was the best rater he raced against. Terry Fullerton was who Senna named. he also loved the purity of racing karts. Simple, no bs, just pure speed. See teh movie it's worth it. Also lots on youtube about his life and what he did for karting & Brazil.

Apparently......there is a neflix movie called Senna coming this year, not to be confused with the "Working Title Senna" movie we've already discussed.

trailer;

If your a purist, The original is the best and I'm saying that knowing it was a documentary.

Besides, we all know how they get it wrong in Film.
