Just thought i'd start a thread where people could talk about their heroes. These could be people that have directly influenced your life or you even if you just admire them, it doesnt matter if you knew them or not, or if they're living or dead.

One of my personal heroes is the late great Brazilian Ayrton Senna. Senna was THE BEST formula one driver ever, he drove for McLaren for Six seasons winning 3 world championships in 4 years and set 65 pole position laps.

Senna was tragically killed at the San Marino Grand prix at Imola in 1994 when he hit the wall after flying off at the Tamborello curve. He is a Hero in Brazil and and since his death f1 cars are much safer.

You can see a senna tribute video at www.gtf1.com in the vidoes section if you feel like downloading 11mb. The backing music is the excellently talented Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah.




So people lets hear it, who are your heroes?
