Paulista avenue
We take you to see the huge mural of the three-time world champion, Ayrton Senna. The mural has 41 meters high and 17.5 meters wide, painted on the side of a skyscraper on Paulista avenue by the most famous graffiti artist in the world, Eduardo Kobra. All of that while catching other city sights and culture in one of the coolest areas in São Paulo.
Ayrton Senna Square
To honor the impact Senna had, large buildings and monuments are erected and named after him, such as
highways, tunnels, squares and statues. We pass through the largest road complex of tunnels in São Paulo that bears the name of our
three-time champion. We visited the square in honor of our three-time champion near Ibirapuera Park and the bronze monument
“Speed, Soul and Emotion” of 2.5 tons.
Morumbi Cemetery
Then pay your respects at Ayrton's final resting place, visit his graveyard where fans from all over the globe flock to pay homage. On 1 May 1994, Brazilian Formula One driver Ayrton Senna was killed after his car crashed into a concrete barrier while he was leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy. This became a turning point in the safety of Formula One, prompting the implementation of new safety measures in both Formula One and the circuit, as well as the Grand Prix Drivers' Association to be reestablished.
Interlagos Racetrack
From there, we go to Interlagos racetrack that hosts the Brazilian F1 Grand Prix and it’s consolidated as one of the best motorsport tracks in the world. Senna’s first official victory on Kart happened at Interlagos Kart Circuit, nowadays the karting track is named after him.
