Andy_Bangle Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Much of it (his old cars on track) was filmed at Donington a couple of weeks ago, seen a few clips & lots of pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 20 years since he died, 30 years since he announced his arrival on the big stage by winning the race of champions at the Nurburgring in a Merc Cosworth. There's a fantastic film from XCAR coming very soon with rare footage of that race and a familiar face* presenting an upbeat feature on the greatest driver ever *No tanktop, sorry, black sweater, jeans and yellow adidas this time. Monza, Imola, bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Looking forward to all the programmes. The first is with Damon Hill. Just ordered this book today http://www.mclarenstore.com/books/ayrton-senna-book-signed-edition/invt/mcl7158s&utm_source=MCLS&utm_medium=email&utm_content=ALL_Offers&utm_campaign=Senna%20Pre%20order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 As long as this doesn't signal loads of blinkered F1 "afficionados" hailing Senna the Saint whilst dismissing Schumacher as a cheat... Looking forward to the programmes though. He had a unique 'feel' that did almost amount to a religious experience. A similar natural talent to Clark, and yet an entirely different character.

Luke Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 mmm, the first 50 signed ones have all gone. I'm pretty sure I was in there for one, as I bought as soon as I got the email. Now it was going to be for my brother for a birthday present but I think I'll keep it if it's a signed one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 You do know this right ...... This book is signed by Neil Trundle, Chief Mechanic to both Senna and Prost in 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yes Chick, ta. Thought that was a nice touch by McLaren. And being only 50 available makes it quite special. Well I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough the first thing I thought, when I saw it was signed, was how do they get a dead guy to sign a book and then realised it was by a mechanic:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Do you think McLaren and the Senna Foundation would be selling books signed by Mr Senna for £35, from 20 years ago!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Do you think McLaren and the Senna Foundation would be selling books signed by Mr Senna for £35, from 20 years ago!!! Not at all, it's just one of those strange things that goes through my head for a short period of time. I agree.it's a nice touch and with only 50 signed, a bit special.

Luke Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Without realising what I'd bought, I got him a Senna book called Monumental Senna. Limited to 500 worldwide, the most amazing book of photographs I've seen. Got it about 25 years ago. It's mega money now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I queued up to get Jackie Stewart's autobiography signed by him as a present to my grandad. It was only after a couple of years he realised it was signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Very emotional. Thankfully they didn't show any actual race footage which I think showed great judgement by Sky. David Brabham put a great angle on the situation being RR team mate. Damon Hill is a top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM will sign anything for cash, see here: www.thesignaturestore.co.uk I've been tempted signed steering wheel.
