Pull out and examine handwritten letters and race agendas, a replica of Ayrton Senna's baptism certificate, a keepsake formal photograph, autographed team stickers and 20 more special items and interactive memorabilia in this heavyweight slipcased box set. During his lifetime, Brazilian Formula 1 racing champion Ayrton Senna was widely recognised as a leader in his sport, a pioneer in driving technique, a hard racer and a compassionate man. Since his fatal crash during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, his remarkable career and humanitarian outlook have continued to inspire the world and the Ayrton Senna Institute, his most important legacy, has helped educate more than 7.8 million Brazilian children. Included in this package are badges shaped in a driver's helmet, an Eddie Jordan personal note, his Team McLaren badge photocard from 1988, a signed poster of the 1991 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, an access pass to the circuit as a VIP Guest in the 1984 Brazilian GP, his British competition licence from 1991 as an international racing driver, a Japanese cartoon advertisement in a long strip format, and all of the items are of very good quality and colour printing. The Senna family has opened its archives and shared photographs of private moments at home and at the racetrack. The assortment of treasured ephemera is included in 13 beautiful envelopes which readers can pull out and examine and the book's striking imagery forms a focal point with exclusive interviews with his teammates sharing personal anecdotes and favourite memories.
