    20 Years since the death of Aryton Senna

    Today marks the day the great Aryton Senna lost his life at the fearsome Imola circuit. I personally rate him above Schumacher mainly because the cars were a hell of a lot harder to drive and the caliber of drivers he was up against was greater.


    He was a humble man and a brilliant role model.He gave very poor Brazilians a International superstar to be very proud of.When he raced he raced with the hopes of a nation on his shoulders.He did many things for the poor of his homeland and he never forgot where he came from.

    He was a great man a great champion and the sport was left poorer when he died,his legacy will never be forgotten.

    There's a pretty good doco on him called "Senna", it's made up from all footage from the era. I watched it on a Qantas red-eye from Sydney to Darwin, Probably the only time I've enjoyed one of their movies!
