Craner curves, in the wet, ROUND THE OUTSIDE!!! The guy had balls of steel, a true, true legend!

I was watching some junior series the other day from donny in the wet and he'd obviously been watching senna's move as had a lot cars round the outside.....for the life of me i can't remember even what series it was though!

If it was just down to balls of steel, he would not have lasted a lap. It was more due to an uncanny ability to judge the level of grip. Senna was masterful that day, in a class of his own. It was an example of why many consider him to have been one of the most naturally gifted drivers of all time.

I am pleased to say " I was there."
I had a grandstand view of Craner Curves from near Starkeys Bridge. It was well worth getting piss wet through for!!

Me too, half way down Craner Curves wetter than a wet mutt ! Pre big screen days , I couldn't believe my eyes when he came round in the lead (well actually I could , but I was still suitably impressed . . . . "Magic Senna" )

I was absolutely never a Senna fan but even I have to admit, this was one of the greatest drives of all time.

Can't understand why there are still some people who don't want the British Grand Prix to go to Donington! It knocks spots off the flat featureless Silverstone.
