The Brazilian Formula One racer and three-time world champion Ayrton Senna was killed in a crash while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, which is kind of comparable to Michael Jordan suffering a massive coronary while dropping 50 points on the Knicks. Winner of one in every four races he started, Senna was named the greatest F1 driver of all time in a 2009
Autosport magazine poll of 217 current and former drivers. His life, his faith and his extraordinary decade of Formula One dominance are explored in
Senna, a new documentary premiering at Tivoli Cinemas (4050 Pennsylvania, 816-561-5222). As
Senna roars across the screen inside, more than 25 Ferraris (owned by members of the Kansas City Chapter of Ferrari Club of America) make pulses race outside, on Pennsylvania Avenue. The display, free to the public, runs from 5 to 10 p.m. today only. See
