Queen Elizabeth's memorial to be close to Palace bbc.in/3MBazY8

In 1981, a non-descript, small bungalow on the edge of Norwich, 5 minutes from my house, welcomed a new tenant. The people living here now are likely oblivious to the significance of this bungalow, sitting among other identical houses in this small cul-de-sac. The new guy would have arrived here likely feeing anxious. It was his first step in single-seater racing, miles from native Brazil He needn’t have worried. He won the RAC & Townsend-Thoreson Formula Ford 1600 Championships that year with the local Van Diemen team. He had pressure to return to Brazil & the family business, but, thankfully he carried on racing. Then, 30 years ago today, he lost his life at Imola, and we were denied the talents of one of the greatest, most inspiring #F1 drivers ever seen. However, Rugge Drive, in 1981, will forever be the place Ayrton Senna’s journey in European single seater-racing first began. Here’s the house now with a simple yellow daffodil from my garden. 💛
