All the things Ireland is famous for, right? And Guinness. Which ends with double-S, rather than starts. That's right: Senna killing it at Ireland's one and only Mondello Park.
"A. da Silva" - or better known as Senna - smashes the field in this footage of a Formula Ford 2000 race in a Van Diemen car around Mondello Park - South-East of Dublin in 1982. Slightly unusual sight as of today, as the venue looks more like a rallycross stage, but they are flying their winged car through all the bumps and the abrasive tarmac as if all the trembling from the tyres of the car was nothing more like Mr. O'Brien heading up the stairs to watch hurling. Want to guess who's winning? Too bad Senna wasn't driving any of the touring cars following the race.

Well, the one time he did drive in a touring car race he won it, so no surprises there.

Oh man I'm going to end up looking like him, but pasty.

Hey Gabor, have you read "The Life of Senna"? It's a great book and covers everything in the life of the great man.
Well worth a read if you haven't already!
