Just shut up and watch.

YouTube really is an amazing thing.  If nothing else, the amount of history (of everything, not just motorsport) that is posted on there is just remarkable.  It truly is wonderful to be able to access this kind of information so readily.

An amazing collection of classic Japanese art.

I stumbled across this in the Historic Rally section of Special Stage.com.  I don’t have a whole lot more information, except that this is a warehouse in Zuma, near Yokohama. 109-0949_IMG More here at Flickr.

Aryton Senna drove the final lap of his life, in the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola. Senna was World Champion in 1988, 1990, and 1991, and was one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One. More importantly, Senna was a true hero off the track, donating the vast majority of his fortune to start the “Ayrton Senna Foundation“, with the aim of helping poor and needy young people in Brazil and around the world.
