Our great hero Senna are plenty of images online to find, but videos of his early career are rare.

Fortunately, there appears still to the material. Senna drove for the first time a race on a competitive level when he was 13. Immediately it became clear that he far would come. With his kart, he was allowed to of a pole position start and took it up against older, more experienced children to he by a collision, the race had to stop.

From 1977, he won one championship after the other, and in 1981 he changed to the bigger guns. Also, he was extremely good, but was under pressure from his parents back to Brazil to be in the family business, to help. He was lucky to be just in time a bag with £ 10,000 and a place in a Formula Ford 2000 team offered, and continued to Senna in the race.

In the video he drives the Van Diemen RF82 FF2000 at the Irish Mondello Park to his victory in 1982, the same year that he was the British and European championships won. Take a look at 25 exciting minutes of masterful steersman ship.
