A moment of Silence...18 years ago today - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

18 years ago we all lost the greastest F1 driver ever. He was also an amazing and giving person and a tenacious competitor. You will always be greatly missed.

And conversely, it's been 18 years since the last death in F1, the longest period in history without a fatality.

Very sad indeed

If anyone hasn't seen the documentary today would be a good day to watch it.

Red Bread · 05-01-2012, 12:49 PM

RIP Ayrton. Still why I watch F1, hoping to catch a glimpse of his passion in the current drivers. I was just starting a ten hour drive when I learned he'd died, made for a really long, somber drive.

az34 · 05-01-2012, 02:52 PM

that crash still fresh in my head, i'll always remember. Same goes for the late Gilles Villeneuve. Two great drivers who'd died too young.

BFD99 · 05-01-2012, 03:21 PM

RIP Senna.

blackbeast535 · 05-01-2012, 08:08 PM

RIP to the man who made me fall in love with motorsports.

Great driver

tibra1 · 05-01-2012, 10:24 PM

Very sad..eerily Jim Clark's passing was only 3 weeks ago as well..April 7, 1968

Two great losses.

Robin_NL · 05-02-2012, 05:46 AM

Man. 18 years ago. As I recall in the training first Ratzenberger went out(RIP) and in the race Senna. Incredible.

But I also recall Kurt Cobain killing himself that week(?) Or what? EDIT April 5th 1994. Seems to me like at that same moment back then.

RIP to him too.

Jmo550 · 05-02-2012, 10:41 AM

Senna was a remarkable person . +1 on the documentary

Jive · 05-10-2012, 07:35 PM

I was quite young when he passed away so i did not know of him at the time. But, myself as a person who has a passion for automobiles and professional racing of any type (WRC, LeMans, F1, etc) I respect the man for his skill and his accomplishments. May he rest in peace.

Also, i highly recommend anyone who has a love of cars or racing to watch the documentary.
