“The images of Senna starting in the wet race and just overtaking everyone to get the lead after the first lap is just so famous and important for all of us at Donington,” he says.
“It’s incredible that we have the opportunity to celebrate that this weekend. We’ll be running the Senna’s Toleman TG184, with a static display with of the McLaren MP4/7A, this particular chassis of which was driven by both Senna and team-mate Gerhard Berger in ’92.
“Also running will be Michael Schumacher and Riccardo Patrese’s Benetton B193, Nelson Piquet’s race-winning Benetton B190 and Shinji Nakano’s Minardi M198.
“In addition to that will be Prost’s Williams FW15C, the same chassis which ran at the ’93 European GP – and we’ll be recreating the famous ‘SEGA Sonic the Hedgehog‘ podium from that race too.”
As mentioned above, key players from Senna’s career will be on hand to provide insight into the racing journey of someone many believe to be the greatest motor sport has ever seen.
“We will also be holding a Q&A session hosted by Andrew Marriott on Saturday, with Neil Oatley, Dick Bennetts and David Scott there talking,” says Willey.
“Another highlight with the ’93 anniversary in mind will be an exhibition at the pit lane suite, was just behind garage No39,” he explains.
“It will feature a mixture of art work, photographs and quotes from people who were there.
