Re: Amen & RIP.....another fairly good driver, and with a hot woman and a hotter race car

... of the loss of (IMNSHO) the greatest F1 driver of all time, my hero Ayrton Senna.



In 1996 my oldest son made this chalk painting for my office. It's been proudly displayed there since then.



RIP Ayrton.

I agree, Ayrton was one of the best. It was a sad moment for motor sports.

Sure looks like your son has a lot of artistic talent. Great looking chalk painting. It's one of those things you just can't place a value on. It goes beyond that.

... came from his fatal accident.
He has been the last fatality in Formula 1.
Safety became a priority over winning.
It had been backwards from the very beginning.
Happy Porscheing,
Pedro

The entire time he was probably thinking, Dang,why doesn't this thing have a back seat like the Pepper? Let's hope he atleast did the Frank Costanza "stop short" because, unfortunately, he couldn't "run out of gas" in the 918, stinkin hybrids.

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjbrFBE4x8A[/video]Senna was one of the greatest...

I tripped over this YouTube video a while back, I was really impressed by the ability demontrated by Senna in this video. Penny loafers, dressed smart casual, he takes that NSX for a serious ride !!! The man could drive anything !

I remember very clearly watching the race and then seeing the accident. It was clear from the commentators tone that this wasn't just an ordinary accident. Then seeing no movement coming from the car. The reports on TV were getting more and more grim. A very sad day for racing. He will always be remembered as one of the very best ever in the game.
