Senna Knew Winning Isn’t Everything!

Featured Image -- 306

Senna loved winning too, of course: he was obsessed by it as champions are. But what separates him is that he came to realise there was more to life – and that is why people are making films about him today. He had the visionary mystique to know in a world of plenty you do not have to have ‘have-nots’ to have ‘haves’.

His trainer Josef Leberer told me: “During my first year with Ayrton we were driving through Sao Paulo when we saw a favela and I asked how he felt when he saw these people. He said it was very hard for him and it hurt a lot, but that you have to be powerful to effect any real change and he was not there yet.

Stirling : A Story of Hope and a Boy’s Dream

(paperback)

The Kindle version is available at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H1N6X1Y

“I was taught that everything is attainable, if you’re prepared to give up, to sacrifice, to get it. Whatever you want to do, you can do it, if you want to do it badly enough. However, most humans quit too soon in life.” *

– former British racing driver Stirling Moss’s famous quote

“The characters seem to represent the virtues and the resilience of the ‘little’ people, a story (or stories) to which we can all relate. In essence it’s about hope and faith: a tale (and tales) of the unquenchable spirit of tenacity in battling on, no matter what are our circumstances. And then eventually finding a way, a pathway to overcome personal adversity … and to ultimately succeed in glorious triumph.”

– anon
At least that was the goal (lofty) I set out to achieve in writing the book (“faction” or fact?)… but whether I actually did get there in the end, the aim is another matter entirely! Still the journey (most satisfying) made it all worthwhile.

“When (and where) love endures, hope inevitably follows”

– the writer “

“A story (and stories) to bring hope to the human soul.” A short, yet rewarding tale of faith, hope and especially love, together with many of my various articles on my great passion motor racing* and the human mind .

* other than my boys, of course and South Africa

“I want to write the way Gilles Villeneuve drove and power-slid his blood-red Formula One Ferrari… with wild enthusiasm and a sense of abandonment, combined with the artists craft of a Stirling Moss, a Jim Clark, and especially that of the great Ayrton Senna, living on the razor-blade edge of life.”

 

for dearest mom and dad, your generous spirits live on

thanks for all the support, encouragement and especially love

“All the world will be happier and better, when the men and women have the souls of artists,, like that of an Ayrton Senna.“
