Imola GP Live: F1 legend Ayrton Senna to be paid special tribute at Emilia-Romagna GP with a special edition ‘SENNA NOW’ car: The Ayrton Senna Museum at Imola will be exhibiting a piece of history and art during the following end of the week’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. A former McLaren F1 show-car has been changed into a show-stopper called ‘Senna Now’ devoted to the memory of the incomparable Brazilian driver, which will be on display over the weekend.

The ‘Senna Now’ art car project was assembled by Italian fashion designer Matteo Macchiavelli who honestly loved Senna during his childhood. “I spent my childhood following the races and the ‘magic’ of my hero. I was inspired by his lifestyle and his teachings, which are still with me now that I’m older,” said Matteo.

“The charisma of Ayrton Senna, his personality, all the challenges he faced, and his humanity have given so much inspiration to me and to a lot of people. I started to imagine how to create something that could centralize and make emerge some of the aspects of the special message that he was able to transmit, challenge, creativity, and humanity,” the artist further added.

One side of the car was shared with French street artist Jisbar. He was given free rein to put himself out there while inspired by Senna. Meanwhile, the opposite side of the vehicle features a patchwork of three famous liveries, including the black and gold of Lotus, the Rothmans Williams, and the Marlboro McLaren. They all are related to the three-time title holder’s F1 career.
After Imola, the craftsmanship piece, given by Italian collector Gianluca Tramonti, will be shown at the Miami and Monaco GPs as well as at art fairs in Venice and Miami. Later on, the vehicle will be sold, with all proceeds helping the Ayrton Senna Foundation.
