Bruno Senna will drive his late uncle's legendary McLaren Honda MP4-4 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend.
Bruno has been invited by McLaren Racing to drive the McLaren Honda MP4-4 at Goodwood during the first two days of the festival, allowing fans the opportunity to see at close quarters the F1 car which dominated the 1988 season in the hands of Alain Prost and Bruno's uncle, the late Ayrton Senna. Together they won all but one race in that year's championship.
The car that Bruno will drive is a part of the McLaren Collection which is displayed at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, and last week Bruno visited the factory to be fitted into the car by some of the mechanics who worked with Ayrton in that Championship winning year.
Speaking ahead of this weekend's festival, Bruno said: "Driving this hugely powerful turbo engined 'monster' will be a great experience for me on one of my weekends off from my Le Mans Series programme.
"It is hugely motivating to drive such an historic car and especially to be trusted by the same people that ran Ayrton to all those victories back in the 1980's.
"An F1 car from this era is not too similar to a current F1 car, and Goodwood is not exactly a Grand Prix venue either, but I am sure this fun weekend will only serve to wet my appetite again for F1."

Graham H: I agree that a car should look like it goes fast even when it is still! Some of my favorite cars were the Brabhams of the 1970's. My point is that Bernie and Max have not made them this way (Bernie owned Brabham during the time of the wonderful BT44, 45 and 46) it is just evolution. I agree it is a shame. I agree that KERS is a waste of time and energy (no pun intended) It would be nice for you to join me in condeming the abuse posted by H H Unself. A message board is a place for debate and not abuse. I saw my first F1 race in 1968, I have worked in F1, I think I know a think or too about the sport as lots of people here do. Unfortunatly all too often people come on here just to abuse others without posting anything constructive.
Marnio! you are very funny, i get your humour even if no one else does!!! I`m a big Hamilton/ Mclaren fan but can still find your comments very amusing!!! Tell us all about your Peruvian world sporting heroes, if you can think of any! Marnio, you are a comedy genius... I salute you!!!
Wish I was there to see it,as I havent been yet.Been to the Revival last year.That was something else.:)
Things is Graham H there is always some muppet on these boards ready to pounce on anything you say. You just cant pay a compliment like saying "that car looks georgous" as you did, without some tedious little turd like Reg Tedious having a pop at you.

Reg Tedious, I'm not saying to use the technology from 1988 that would be rather stupid wouldn't it? But F1 cars are supposed to be thougrobred race machines the best and fastest on the planet and that your jaw drops by just looking at them like in the 80's and 90's and not mickey mouse machines like this season. I'm sure safety and good looks can play a part in the equation and not cost the earth. I have watched F1 for 20 odd years and I've got to say with the rule changes this year including KERS its becoming a farce!
A question often asked of me is why don't I write some new posts and not just post the same old Potter, Bernard, Marion and Marnio posts? Its a good question and I suppose the
answer is that I am a sad old woman who has nothing better to do and not only that but these posts take me days and days to write simply because I am so stupid. After all that
when I post them then you lot unkindly thumb them all down so I have to keep re-posting them, its all I have left in life.
I wish I could contribute something positive but I cant the only interest I have in F1 is hate for anyone of black skin. I use Potter, Bernard, Marnio etc to express my racism.
The beauty of the Mclarens. The Mclaren ruffians are pure and utter class. Ron Dennis has the same career record as Enzo Ferrari in terms of titles won when they were in charge and McLaren has done so much more than Ferrari in such a shorter space of time. The beauty of the MP4/4 maybe only matched by the beauty of the carbon Williams FW 14B.
Career Stats.
Enzo Ferrari 9 WDC, 8 CC
Ron Dennis 10WDC, 7 CC
Lewis Hamilton, youngest ever world champion
McLaren, the true motor racing ultra's, only team to win Can-AM, Indy, LeMans and multiple F1 world championships. All in record time.
McLaren acknowledged manufacturers of 'the' greatest road car.
McLaren official rebels against the Ferrari fake royalty.
McLaren true enemy of the FIA, Max, Bernie and Ferrari.
McLaren always have the coolest drivers, Hunt, Senna, Hakkinen, Hamilton and the best road cars, and the only team to have won Can Am, Indy Lemans and F1 titles. McLaren are the true ultra's of world motorsport.
The beauty of the Mclarens. The Mclaren ruffians are pure and utter class. Ron Dennis has the same career record as Enzo Ferrari in terms of titles won when they were in charge and McLaren has done so much more than Ferrari in such a shorter space of time.
Mclaren, the rebel team against the Ferrari fake royalty.
marnio - you really are a proper fud. go out and get laid or something.
Graham H: I agree that F1 cars don't look as good as they once did. However the difference between 1988 and now is that crash testing for F1 cars has been introduced. I know what I would want my son to drive, the most hidious house brick of a car ever seen as long as he would survive hitting something solid (think Kubica) If this is Max and Bernies fault then hooray for them.
Marnio Hola, mi "no hay dinero" amigo de Perú, país pobre
Usted es un idiota y que no contribuyen en nada a la discusión. Vete y crear su propio equipo de F1 - oh lo siento, no puede permitírselo.
