5.0 out of 5 stars Relive the glory days, June 29, 2000

This review is from: Racing Is in My Blood [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Nuff said this video will show why it is that most racing enthusiasts now decide not to watch the parade that is Formula one today. Ayrton's career is legendary even if his life was cut short. This man's passion for the sport of racing will forever live on in my mind, he was and forever will be my hero.

Remeber one thing in the final races of his life......

Williams wasn't on pole for those 3 races........Senna was.

I forgot who quote that when I remember I will edit this message

4.0 out of 5 stars Watch and realize why there is so much said about him..., January 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Racing Is in My Blood [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Video has some footage of Senna's early go-cart years, interviews with mechanics, and nice 80's and early '90s Formula 1 images. Not to speak about Senna himself, in some almost intimate interviews. Great. Would be better if brought more go-cart and formula Ford images... But still great, a must for any car racing fan, Formula 1 fan or not, Ayrton Senna da Silva supporter or not. Watch this video and realize why there is so much writen, said and discussed about this genious. It doesn't show the dark side of Senna (victory at any price), but still a must. And it makes current F1 starts look so... insipid.

This review is from: Racing Is in My Blood [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was the first widely available English language documentary on Senna, filmed before his death in 1994. Note there are two versions of this video, there is this French production, and there is the copy with a different narration on the 2004 2-DVD set with Right to Win, which is a definite must-have, but not for that version of Racing is in my Blood.

I prefer the narration and soundtrack on this version, it's warmer and more emotional. I have this on VHS and as far as i know, this version has not been made in a DVD version.

This is a very personal account by Ayrton Senna himself. That is, they let the story be told through Ayrton's own words, and it is a very powerful and moving work that shows through to the very humble and kind spirit of Ayrton Senna. All the more fascinating considering how ruthless he appeared on the race track.
