Re: Senna - the film - reminder 3rd June (UK)

I have a past career in international karting from 1983 to 1990 with DAP.
I had like teammate Sospiri, Zanardi and I drove against Trulli, Fisichella, M. Schumacher and many others...
A terrible road accident and a rare disease destroyed my career in 6 month and now I'm a tester driver for many italian car magazines, kart magazine and bike too...
Driving for mr. Angelo Parrilla, I know a lot of Senna's story. Angelo given me Senna's Seiko Bullhead this year, the watch that Ayrton give him in 1983, with a beautifull presentation letter where he talk about the story of this watch.
He didn't like racing cars! He only wanted to win world karting championship. Cars arrived only after world championship in Estoril, where Senna arrived 2° only for a strange regulation impose to help another important team (very long to explain...): this is the first theft that CIK-FIA made to Ayrton. The second one is in Japan with Prost!

Last year, for joke, I drove in south italian kart championship, that I won with a powerfull kart with rotary engine that got 60 HP!
A lot of young driver hate my partecipation: before race they teased me like an old... after first race they come to me to ask if I can leave championship to help their career...
I won 3 race on 5: 1 I was thrown out by a double, another one I got some problems with clutch.

This year I will try to win again italian south championship (I don't want to have long trip on weekend to race in north Italy too) and I will partecipate to 40 th over World Championship in Jesolo, like DAP official driver. ahhahahahahahahaahhaah!
Some pictures of last year championship...
