RIP Ayrton Senna

1 May, 2008 (10:48) | Karting, Racing | No comments

Today marks 14 years since the life of the great Ayrton Senna was claimed at Imola in the 1994 Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Rest in Peace, Ayrton Senna.

First meeting of the year.

Finally I was able to get out on the track, after buying my kart in February and a KT100J motor not long after.
