Nice pictures and the Senna Statue

Thank you Manny,

It was an experience for sure. It was a Wednesday and I took that photo of Senna at 7am.
I arrived at the track real early and because it was October the air was very chilly for Italy.
There weren't many people around at that time so I was pretty much alone standing there.

Who knows what Senna would have accomplished if it hadn't happened.
He was an incredible driver.

That memorial statue is right beside the track on the left of Tamburello and on the opposite
side right behind the Imola track there is a sort of dam. I went there too;

When I was in Italy this was my rental car (lol);

When we went to Spa in Belgium my friend and I rented this one;

The freeways / highways in Belgium don't have any speed limits (just like Autobahn in Germany).
My friend from Finland didn't have a licence so I had to do all the driving. I was doing ~160km/h and
that made us the slowest car on the road. Everyone went faster than us, the pace was incredible.

And the Belgian roads. I remember they were so beautiful, hills going upwards for hundreds of metres and
then down again. Thick, huge trees lining the freeways making it seem like you were driving inside the
forests. Amazing landscapes around Spa and Malmedy.

It was a grind getting up on that hill.

What you needed was an extremely long selfie stick. It would have saved the trip. :P

I see all your tall buildings are roughly the same height. Is there some restriction?
