Race Car The REAL Ayrton Senna-A Personal Memoir

Senna: As He Has Never Been Seen Before-A Personal Memoir (Famous Figure Documentary)

Real Stories •20Jun 2020


A unique insight into a charismatic and elusive man: ruthless in a race car, surprisingly open and warm-hearted with friends and family in Brazil.

An intensely spiritual man is revealed by his intimate reflections: most poignantly about the ever-present danger of death in his chosen profession.







Ayrton Senna...Died: 1 May, 1994, Bologna, Italy

On 1 May 1994, Brazilian Formula One driver Ayrton Senna was killed after his car crashed into a concrete barrier while he was leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy.

The previous day, Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger had died when his car crashed during qualification for the race.

His and Senna's crashes were the worst of several that took place that weekend and were the first fatal collisions to occur during a Formula One race meeting in twelve years (and not repeated until 20 years later at Suzuka Circuit).

They became a turning point in the safety of Formula One, prompting the implementation of new safety measures in both Formula One and the circuit, as well as the Grand Prix Drivers' Association to be reestablished.

The Supreme Court of Cassation of Italy ruled that mechanical failure was the cause of the crash, although this has been disputed.









RIP....Ayrton
