BRUNO SENNA TO DRIVE LOTUS 97T FOR THE FIRST TIME
Emotional scenes are expected at the 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed when Bruno Senna, nephew of the legendary Ayrton, takes the wheel of his uncle’s Renault-powered Lotus 97T for the very first time.
The car - chassis number two - is the one used by the three-time World Champion to claim his maiden Formula One Grand Prix victory in Portugal. With a helmet design similar to that of his late uncle, Bruno Senna will inspire many memories of the Estoril circuit in 1985 as he pilots the distinctive black and gold car up the Sussex hill.
Bruno makes his second appearance at the world-famous West Sussex hillclimb circuit after his debut there last year in another Ayrton Senna car, the McLaren MP4/4. The 22-year-old has previously driven a Lotus-Renault 98T raced by his uncle and he expects to feel similar emotions to his experience in that car.
