To honor Ayrton Senna da Silva (1960-1994), the legendary Brazilian Formula One racing driver who won three world championships before being killed in an accident during the San Marino Grand Prix, Ducati is launching the special edition Senna 1199 Panigale S. Production will begin mid 2014 to mark 20 years since Senna’s death. Only 161 motorcycles will be produced – the number of races Senna participated in F1 – and they will all be sold in Brazil and are going to feature a Senna-inspired color scheme.

The Film Rush is out there, I never knew just how on the edge he was.
Formula one is big around the world.
They have lost some truly brilliant racers over the years.
Jim Clark was my hero as a kid.
Nice tribute

James just another Crazy Kiwi,TheRush movie is a story,and in no way based on history.Mario Andretti was the F1 driving man of the time and gets little mention in the film.It’s a strange coincidence that the son of the guy that helped drag out a toasty Niki Lauda from his crumpled Ferrari died in a flaming Porsche with some rich kid at the wheel at a drive day on a racetrack down in Australia a few weeks ago.

I saw Senna drive F1 Williams Honda Turbos back in the day,its
