I am nearly overflowing with very strong emotions this weekend. Pride , because Sam achieved his yellow belt. I am so proud of him doing this sort of thing at just six years old. His Mum was crying at the award ceremony, because she’s a girl. Sadness , because of all the Remembrance activities going on. Not just because of the men and women who have died or been wounded, some of whom I knew,...
Indianapolis 500: The Simulation came with a manual that had pictures of Indy 500 winners, arranged in chronological order, and I remember noticing how the cars would look faster and faster throughout the decades (this made perfect sense, as it kept with the progress of technology). I also remember learning the names Wilbur Shaw and Johnny Rutherford, who seemed to keep popping up as multi-race winners....
Question: Regarding a question on the Trackside show last night, Ayrton Senna tested in Phoenix, I believe, in February 1993 as a serious test for Penske.

(Senna eventually moved a year later, where he lost his life...

But the most hyped scion of racing fame has been Bruno Senna . The nephew of the late, great Ayrton Senna was rated highly by his world-champion uncle and has been on everyone's watch...
I've been looking for great emotions for these last years when I watch some Formula 1 GP. Our Brazilian pilots are trying to bring that, of course never like our hero Ayrton Senna. But this last Sunday I stuck in front of TV, it was the time to the last F1 Grand Prix of 2009, and it was not the race that make me feel amazed, but the circuit and the building, it was in Abu Dhabi, something really terrific!...

"I hope he is (quick), because there is unfortunately an unimaginably great expectation on his shoulders," said Williams, who signed triple champion Ayrton Senna from McLaren for the fateful 1994 season. "I just wish him well ...it's important for the family that he does extremely well." Ayrton Senna, hailed and mourned as one of the greatest talents the sport has ever seen, died...

Rio de Janeiro - Brazilian driver Bruno Senna - the nephew of motorsport icon Ayrton Senna - confirmed Friday on Twitter that he has agreed to drive in Formula 1 next year, on the new team Campos Racing. I would like to thank everyone for the suppor...
The brand new Abu Dhabi Grand Prix circuit, as driven by Bruno Senna (nephew of the late great Ayrton Senna) in a two seater racing car. First impressions are that it looks a bit boring, although this could be because Bruno seemed to be taking it fairly easy . The underground pit lane exit looks narrow and the pit lane itself seems long, meaning a frequent fuel stops will probably be off the cards....
