on senna I liked him as a racer – competitive is a major understatement and when he took prost out to win the championship in japan – well !! – you could see where schummie got the idea from when he took out damon hill in australia – he definetly took no prisoners.

Danica patrick in F1?, sweet!.

although I’d have thought Rahal would be the next guy up to be given an F1 superlicense.

Kimi to drive in WRC for 2010?

I have no evidence for this rumour, but that doesn’t usually stop the Spanish press, does it?

Besides, WRC seems like the sort of thing he’d enjoy..

I don’t know how you feel about Senna’s death in Britain, but here in Brazil we still feel May 1st as a sad day. I must confess that this year was the first I didn’t remember until I read some blogs, including yours, talking about him…

Senna was the one who got me into Formula 1 – the first race I remember, when I was eight, was 1991 Brazilian Grand Prix, his unforgettable first win at home, when he ran the last couple of laps with only the sixth gear… The first season I followed was 1991, his third and list championship, our last brazilian title…

Also, aged ten, I was proud to watch the 1993 European Grand Prix… the magic was so great that here in my hometown the weather was as rainy as in Donington Park that afternoon (morning in Brazil)… the only difference was that, here in Salvador, it wasn’t as changeable as there… but I was proud to see Senna lapping the field, running with slicks in the wet, driving fastest laps through the pit…

And I was watching the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix… I still remember Galvão Bueno saying that, after the crash, when his lifeless head moved from side to side in the cockpit, it was a sign he was OK… I still remember my father taking me out for a walk… and, when we came back, we saw the terrible but inevitable news…

Sorry for the corny post…

Sidepodcast never fail to amaze me, 30 hours or not, I know they’re pretty darn dedicated! And I so should have called my post "The First Lady Of IRL…" or something. Hindsight and all that!

“30 hours? Wow, that’s a long time for a free one-hour video! The dedication you put into sidepodcast is very impressive”

in truth that’s not 30 man-hours. it includes render time and export time too (which means hitting a button then drinking some tea).

we keep promising to blog the process, but the races keep coming.

“Sidey, you not doing it for the next race then?”

next race is turkey isn’t it?

pre and post-production of our race previews takes about 30hrs per video, so we basically start next week’s show today, and therefore entires had to be in already.
