Hi all,

Just a heads up that the Sydney Film Festival is screening "Senna" the documentary about Ayrton Senna:

Senna
Asif Kapadia | English, Portuguese, French, Italian | 104 mins


Buckle up for an adrenalin-fuelled ride in this documentary about three-time Formula One World Champion and Brazilian hero Ayrton Senna. Working exclusively with archival material, director Asif Kapadia delivers a thrilling account of Senna's racing career, from his go-cart start in Brazil, through his intense professional rivalry with onetime teammate Alain Prost and his halcyon days with Williams Renault, to his tragic, untimely demise. This is a doco that goes way beyond armchair appreciation of racing. Senna's complex character - his faith, paranoias and prophesies, along with his clash with then-President of Formula One Jean-Marie Balestre, makes compelling drama. Superb in its handling of material that reveals Senna's ego and insinuates corruption within Forumula One, the editing by Chris King and Gregers Sall is also a perfect visceral match for on-board camera footage that will leave you breathless - and gripping the sides of your seats!

I have bought a few general admission tickets, and if any other TC'ers wish to go we can turn it into a social day out with a few drinks/meal after.

Senna could do what no other could.

Drive a substandard car to a podium.

Nowadays its waaaaay to predictable depending on the car..

Senna....best ever. I am proud to have witnessed his last victory live before his death.
