A tribute to one of the best drivers to have been in F1 This i a tribute build to commemorate the day that possibly the best driver on the planet died doing what he loved, and in my opinion it was the best way (in a weird way) for him to go and it is ofcourse Ayrton Senna. It was 20 years ago on May 1st 2014 that the three time world champion lost his life doing probably one of the things he truely loved, racing the fastest cars against the fastest drivers in the world, but on that faitful day in northern italy on the 7th lap of the San Marino GP Senna lost control of his williams fw16 and collided with the barriers at tamburello, this was by no means the first time he had crashed in his career but for some reason on that day a suspension part had broke off and hit him giving him injuries that he would not recover from. Now beings that i was only 4 when all this happened i was unaware of most of it untill i got older and looked it up for myself and looked into the man that he was and from then i have been hooked on everything Senna so with all the tricks and tips i have picked up along the way from fellow Bmers i am this year going to try and modify the tamiya mclaren mp4-4 into the Japanese GP verion that Senna won his first title in here is where i started and just a quick sorry for first the long intro and also the amount of photos. I am planning to finish?unveil this build on the 1/5/14 The box: And now the peices that will be involved in making this a (hopefully) great replica: Now the Senna figure i made a while ago: And now where i am up to with the build: these parts here C4 will be used to modify the turbo intake to the Japan spec like so Along with that the intake holes on the body need to be filled And the radiator outlets changed A peice of plasticard was used to make up the gap from where the outlet should be to where it is now This is where i am up to as of last night on the body but i have been cracking on with the floor pan and monocoque Thank you very much for looking and i hope that i can get it done on time Cheers shaun
