Ayrton Senna da Silva - March 21st, 1960 to May 1st, 1994

Legendary Brazilian F1 race car driver Ayrton Senna Drove for the Lotus Formula One Team from 1985 to 1987

The Lotus Renault 98T F1 was transported by Russells Transport in one of their specially built covered motorsport transporters used for race car transport earlier this week.

The Lotus 98T was a development of the Lotus 97T of 1985. Of the four chassis built three were assigned to Ayrton Senna.

The car and a number of spare parts were sent out to America.   Chassis 004 was Ayrton Senna’s race car for the second half of the 1986 Formula One Championship. It started from pole position on three occasions and achieved four podium finishes. It was also the last JPS sponsered Lotus.

Ayrton Senna da Silva; 21 March 1960 – 1 May 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver who won three Formula One world championships. He was killed in an accident whilst while leading the 1994 San Merino Grand Prix. Roland Ratzenberger had died during qualification for the race. His and Ayrton Senna's accidents were the worst of several accidents that took place that weekend and were the first fatal accidents to occur during a Formula One race meeting in twelve years. They became a turning point in the safety of Formula One, prompting the implementation of new safety measures and the re-formation of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. Ayrton Senna  is among the most dominant and successful Formula 1 drivers of all time and is considered one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport. He remains the most recent driver fatality in Formula one.  Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian driver, won the legendary Monaco Grand Prix a record six times during a glittering career which included three World Championship triumphs and 41 race victories.  Beyond his driving genius Ayrton Senna was one of the sport's most compelling personalities and a national hero in Brazil.
