25 years ago today
-
Ayrton Senna died 25 years ago today. There will probably be a lot of retrospective videos and such. It's sort of crazy how far cars have come since then. Of course they actually DROVE the cars back then, instead of the cars shifting, balancing, correcting, rotating, throttling, etc... themselves. It's sort of sad that the natural aspirated super-car may not survive to see the 30th anniversary of his death. Porsche and Lamborghini/Audi are sort of the last men standing in terms of the non-boutique, non-luxury GT super-cars. The GT3(RS) and Huracan/Aventador may be the last hurrah. Almost everything else is already turbo'd and/or battery assisted and sound like hair dryers in comparison. The GT3 and Huracan sound like demons making sexy time.

He was respected, not only in South America, but also by other drivers. In a talkshow on Dutch TV a few days ago they remembered and spoke highly of him. :rose:

I was a F1 fan than and saw it live on TV with my dad - it was totally unbelievable...

I've been to a memorial exhibit on him in Asti, a month ago. He's been one of the last heroes of F1.

Grand Tour season 3 episode 5 was about [Jim Clark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim\_Clark). It was really amazing to see that and then drive in a car that accelerates and de-accelerates by itself, steers itself (scary) and has more cameras and radars than I would imagine.

These days racing is almost as much about limiting technology as it used to be about encouraging it. Technology is such that, at this point, if they didn't limit it the whole thing would just be a joke and a dangerous joke at that. But is also means that, in some ways, innovation has moved from the racing world to the super-car and sports car world, where those limitations aren't in place. When Porsche retired its 919 LMP type car, they went back and did a version of it for fun that wasn't limited by regulations. It is ludicrously fast. It lapped the Nurburgring so fast that makes your palms sweat just to watch it. He spends very little time under 120MPH and plenty of times he's 200MPH+, and that's on a very bumpy, tricky track. If you watch the little inset video of the interior, I'm amazed he wasn't concussed by the time he was done. The 919 Tribute Tour: On-board record lap, Nordschleife. - YouTube[^] There's some footage from Spa that literally looks like a cartoon because it's going so fast that your brain refuses to accept it's real. At about 1:50 and again at around 2:25, it just doesn't even look real. |Lap Record!| Porsche 919 EVO "Tribute" At Spa Francorchamps - YouTube[^] If they allowed real racing sort of leeway, there would be people splattered like bugs all over the track.
