It’s been 30 years since the tragic and untimely death of the Brazilian Maestro, the late great Ayrton Senna.

Now for us, growing up as kids, he was an inspiration and we used to watch his car ‘living on the edge’ of adhesion on a dodgy analog TV (though for free, it has to be said) or (for the lucky few) at the race track at our home Grand Prix – hence our massive output when it comes to exploring Senna’s legacy. To draw a comparison, it’s the same sort of wow effect that today’s young person would/might have if they came across Ham’s Insta feed, for example. In the year 2050 they’d be still banging on about the powerful experience of social media during the good old days. (As a sidenote, LH has got himself a rather unusual URL for the official website, would you look at that: https://plus44.world/password I had no idea! What a clever marketing strategy.)

Over the course of time, we’ve been fortunate enough to visit many iconic locations closely linked to the three-time F1 world champion.

But here’s the thing with Senna: it’s important to remember his life first and foremost, get a feel for the era, to project period correct thoughts/feelings and not being so hung up on that dark weekend at Imola.

In addition, if you’re a teeny tiny kid who happened to be born in the 21st century, then we can bridge/cross the generation gap together. For F1 old-timers, I don’t have to explain anything, you guys were there in person.
