Ayrton Senna - a history assignment

[C-130 Hercules 556]

Evening all - my daughter is working on a NCEA Level 3 History Research Project. She has chosen to do this on the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. 

She would like to talk to any local Kiwi Formula 1 or even Non-Formula 1 fans that watched or remembers the events of the 1994 San Marino GP.

If you are able help and answer a few questions please pm me. Also interested in any interesting facts that link NZ with Senna. 

Thanks in advance folks!

I was watching it live on TV in my parent's home in Torbay. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried.

PM sent.

Just watched the Senna documentary on the flight to LA. Its good and has a lot of interviews etc.

She could also try and get in touch with Brett Riley as he raced Senna once in touring cars Julian. Brett works at Auckland City Mercedes. 

The motorsport community is fairly tight nit group in NZ, so she’d get quite good contacts from approaching the likes of Giltrap group or even people that have been in F1 or are close to it.
