Yes! just watched the whole race. Senna And Lauda are great. Interesting that people have said Lauda didn't like the rain. I met Senna in Adelaide in 85. He went out of his way to give me a sticker (decal) when i approached him in the Pitlane (i sneaked into the heavily guarded Pitlane when an F1-11 Jet did a Fly-over and everyone looked up!..i was 15 yrs old) Senna graciously walked about 10 metres out of his way, to get me a sticker after i'd approached him without a pen for an Autograph. I shook his hand and wished him well for the Raceday. This must have been on a Thurs or Friday before Sunday's race actually. (He was with Lotus at the time) Sidenote- i met Hazel Chapman too, in the Lotus Pit.

Contrary to the notion that Mercedes recognised the significance of the Senna 190E, I've read stories that the head of Mercedes was actually quite annoyed when Senna won the race. The plan was to display the winning car in the Mercedes museum because the winner was expected to be an F1 World Champion, however Senna hadn't even won a race. When the head of Mercedes questioned the value of the car he was quickly pulled aside and told words to the effect "I'd hold onto that car if I was you".

As a Brazilian let me say this... Rock Paper Scissors is super very competitive in Brasil... Our nature is to be very obnoxious and competitive at something small like that... So that is just to give you all an idea of how serious Senna was taking a race of that nature. Specially with all the names there, and racing the very same car... It is the most ideal race for a professional, everyone using the same equipment. I bet he really wanted to win that more than he ever did want to win a race up to that point

I found your video by chance because I was looking for the complete race from 1984! I came across this short video by chance. I wasn't interested in racing when I was younger, I always found the races boring, until one day I heard the story of Senna. I am very surprised that Mercedes organized this race back in 1984, I was even more surprised that the 190E 2.3L had 185 hp! I always saw the old Mercedes as a grandpa's car, but the way Senna drove this 190E is simply unbelievable! Even from today's perspective! Greetings from Germany ;)

A wonderful piece to say the least and great homage to one the greatest men to ever get behind a steering wheel: Aryton Senna. Though that now storied 1984 race with Senna behind the wheel of a 190e cosworth has commanded attention from automotive journalists and car enthusiasts alike, it fell into much obscurity for years. It's nice to see a tv program shed light on what was an historic race foreshadowing the f1 success of Senna. Plus, the 190 cosworth is more interesting than an e30 m3.

Is there a difference between a gear ratios in Senna's 190 and a roadgoing 2.3-16? Because the speedo shows max speeds on each gear. Top speed on 4th gear as shown on 9:20 is 155kph (just). In any other picture of 2.3-16 interior I found the speedo-indicated top speed in 4th is over 200kph. So maybe this car was far more from stock than just seats and rollcage?

But they got over on me!! And now I can’t find another unless I sell my organs!!! I can say it was an awesome vehicle and one of the best driving cars I’ve ever driven!!
