In Memory Of May 1, 1994 Ayrton Senna Thank You For The Memories Shirt, hoodie, tank top

LIKE many racers and race fans throughout the world who were youngsters in the 1990s, Ayrton Senna was IndyCar Series driver Simon Pagenaud’s hero.

When Pagenaud was growing up in France he remembers the great battles between Senna and France’s Alain Prost for the Formula 1 World Championship.

Pagenaud was heartbroken on that fateful day when Senna was killed in a crash on May 1, 1994 at Imola, Italy, but 20 years after his death, Senna remains an inspiration to the current generation of IndyCar Series and Formula 1 stars.

Pagenaud will honour his racing hero by wearing a specially-designed helmet in the Indianapolis 500 on May 25 as a tribute to the three-time World Champion. Tony Kanaan, Helio Castroneves and Gil de Ferran joined Pagenaud in unveiling the helmet on Friday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

After the Indy 500 the helmet will be auctioned off to benefit the Instituto Ayrton Senna, which aids children in need in Brazil.

“Ayrton Senna has been my lifelong hero,” said Pagenaud, who won last Saturday’s inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis.

“When I began racing, I found myself feeling what Ayrton was describing. Those were very intriguing moments for me. I had a role model, a big example for me in my life.

“Even though I never met him, I inspired my whole life after him, understanding what it was all about, what he was thinking, his approach to racing — focused and dedicated — and that strength he had about concentrating. It was just understanding what he was saying that led me to understanding myself.

“To me, this is a way to continue his legacy somehow and this is the only way I could find to do something and show my passion for what he did. I started thinking about it about two months ago.”
