RIP Anniversary of the death of Ayrton Senna

An NSX was a cake walk for this guy. He may as well have been on his morning commute driving with his knees drinking coffee.

Roland Ratzenberger Died during Qualifying on April 30th. RIP


When track officials examined the wreckage of Senna's racing car, they found a furled Austrian flag. Senna had planned to raise it after the race, in honour of Ratzenberger.

Johnny Herbert drove up with him in Ratzenberger's Porsche. Not sure how he got home.

I remember I was living in central time zone, so races started at ~630am. Didn't set the alarm, just woke up when I did and watched it. Usually I woke up in time. This time for some reason I slept a little late, then suddenly I was bolt awake. Like from a dead sleep to straight awake. got up immediately, went to the other room, turned on the TV...they were showing the replay of the crash. I think I woke up the second he hit the wall.

I wore black. No one seemed to understand. A couple years later I met a Brazilian exchange student. I told him I was sorry for his country's loss. He got choked up & just nodded.

RIP senna. I remember like it was yesterday. Never understood why my father was so upset(I was only 8) until I did some research on him in highschool. Ayrton was much more than just a racecar driver, he was a fuckin saint!

My friend and I spend hours on YouTube studying his driving, simply amazing the determination he had to win!

Thanks for posting bro. I still get all teared up everytime I'm reminded. I was up early that morning watching the race and recall too vividly the horror of it all. I pretty much quit watching F1 after that.

RIP Senna.
