Senna's 1988 championship winning McLaren MP4/4 is usually on display in a gallery at the McLaren Technology Centre, 50km southwest of London. But it is now being readied for shipment to Australia for the two-day Top Gear Festival in Sydney next March.

And Senna can hardly contain his enthusiasm about the trip. "Yes definitely," the racing ace told The Daily Telegraph of his excitement at the chance to drive the car that his uncle drove to win the 1988 Australian Grand Prix. I've driven this car in the Goodwood Festival of Speed but it was a hill climb rather than a racetrack so a very different experience. But one of my biggest dreams has been to drive that 1988 car on a racetrack and having a chance to do it will be really cool. I think people will have a good time. The car will be part of the Ayrton Senna Tribute Exhibition at the Top Gear Festival. The top rating program host James May, said while F1 cars had come a long way in 20 years, so too had the fascination with the sport and those who had achieved so much such as Ayrton.
