Ayrton Senna da Silva was a Brazilian racing car driver. An idol in his home country, his status is far larger than just of a sports champion. He’s an icon, an example for millions of fans around the world. Senna is considered as one of the best, if not the best, racing drivers in history.

After starting his racing career in Brazil in karting, he became twice, in 1979 and 1980, second in the World Karting Championship, before moving to Great Britain and race in Formula Ford.

He said: “I started racing go-karts. And I love karts. It’s the most breath- taking sport in the world. More than Formula 1, indeed, I used to like it most.” Ayrton Senna.

Lucio Pascoal Gascon, the man who used to train and assist Senna in his karting days once said: “Ayrton always came to a race to win it. For him, the others didn’t exist. He just raced to win. I tried to mind him, to cool him down. But for him winning was the only matter. He was always seeking perfection.”
