Default May 1, 1994

It was like today (1st of May) 14 years ago
a great race driver and also a great person lost his life
in Imola.


"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."
Ayrton Senna da Silva
March 21, 1960-May 1st, 1994
Rest in Peace

I was watching on TV when it happened. I hate that sort of thing.

On the other hand, I was never a fan of his. He had some of what I considered to be unsportsmanlike driving habits. Of course he wasn't the only one, and no one deserves to have it end like that.

Aye, I was pretty young back then aswell, but I was a fan of Senna. I had a sticker of him inside my old wallet I found few months back.

And once again I get dated by facts. When I was a teenager I was a fan of Jim Clark and Graham Hill.
