In my opinion my favourite senna win is his 15th win to see it Search up "Senna 15"

This was always my preferred category of Australian motorsport. I went to all the races and followed all the drivers. I roamed the paddock with my Dad's camera taking pictures of anything and everything (mostly badly exposed or out of focus...). I swear when the races were on, half the crowd were off getting a hot dog or a beer. Everyone watches the videos today and talks about manly drivers using three pedals and a gear lever. Unfortunately at the time, they were much less popular than touring cars. As a result, the levels of sponsorship were never commensurate with the costs of running these things and the prize money was never as high. As Kevin Bartlett - one of the most intelligent drivers - said at the time, if you wanted to make a name for yourself in open wheeler racing, go out and win a couple of touring car races. This situation continues to this day and V8 Stupidcars - itself a dying category - has finally achieved its aim of killing off any chance of a viable open wheeler series by making it virtually impossible for S5000 to attract drivers. How they haven't been taken to the ACCC for anti-competitive behaviour is beyond me. But touring car malfeasance started in the late seventies and we see the results today. There are simply no viable open wheel categories left in this country. When Joey Mawson, an Australian driver of international experience, won two S5000 championships he could still not get a drive in Super2. That tells you everything you need to know.

Jon Wright was a Formula Ford driver. In his championship year, before the last race at Calder, he shaved off half of his moustache, vowing to leave it that way if he did not win. He stepped into F5000 in a Lola T400 for 1979 and by 1980 he was suddenly a contender. I remember a ferocious duel between Wright in the Lola and John Bowe in the Elfin MR8 at Waneroo, which showed how far he (Wright) had come. Explaining his progress, Wright told of a discussion he'd had with Jackie Stewart who told him that when he was on the limit, the car would be beset by powerful vibrations. With that insight, Wright would become the dominant driver for what remained of F5000 after everyone else went over to Formula Pacific.

As a Brazilian myself, I think it's safe to say that when Senna died, the Brazilian spirit, and ferocious will to win also died

The year before in 89 Prost crashed into Senna in Japan. So 90 was Senna’s payback.

The commentary is hilarious. They denigrate the Ford Mustangs, and laud the 'tremendous power' of the Holden as often as possible. LOL Beechey is apparently a God.

Man, this makes me so emotional over a man I never ever got to saw live on TV, let alone in real life. I even lost count of the number of times I have come back to watch this. His death is something I wish nobody else has the godforsaken destiny to live through (and yes, it's been proved that a non-spec steering shaft caused this demise). Edit: that 1990 monaco lap is still stuff of legends.

Glen Dix, what a legend. Just another reason motor sport was better ( if a little more dangerous) back then. Total trust in the top drivers of the day, I mean, running out on to the race track waving the checkered flag! I think he got to flag the early F1 gps in Adelaide. Ahh, those were the days😀
