Story behind the song
Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari IMOLA - Italy c. p. 2018 Music Credits: IMOLA Michael Duran - drums, bass, keyboards Zozimo Rech - Lead synths, lead electric guitar Adrianne Simioni - Electric violin Ayrton Senna da Silva; 21 March 1960 1 May 1994) Ayrton was a Brazilian racing driver who won three Formula One world championships for McLaren in 1988, 1990 and 1991, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time. He died in a high speed accident at the Tamburello corner of Imola race circuit. IMOLA is a soundtrack for a video made using Project Cars 2, featuring a Formula 1, Dallara racer #27, driven by Michael Duran. This is 2 laps, the 1st and last lap, of a 5 lap hard fought race, which ends with team-mates within a half car length of each other at the finish line. The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari is a motorsport race circuit near the Italian town of Imola, 40 kilometres (24.9 mi) east of Bologna and 80 kilometres (49.7 mi) east of the Ferrari factory in Maranello. The circuit is named after Ferrari's late founder Enzo and his son Dino who had died in the 1950s. Before Enzo Ferrari's death in 1988 it was called 'Autodromo Dino Ferrari'. Imola was the venue for the Formula One San Marino Grand Prix, and it also hosted the 1980 edition of the Italian Grand Prix, which usually takes place in Monza. When Formula One visits Imola, it is seen as the 'home circuit' of Ferrari and masses of tifosi (Ferrari supporters) come out to support the local team. Despite the addition of the chicanes, Imola was subject to constant safety concerns, mostly regarding the flat-out Tamburello corner, which was very bumpy and had dangerously little room between the track and a concrete wall which protects the Santerno river that runs behind it. In 1987, Nelson Piquet had an accident there during practice and missed the race due to injury. In the 1989 San Marino Grand Prix, Gerhard Berger crashed his Ferrari at Tamburello after a front wing failure. The car caught fire after the heavy impact but thanks to the quick work of the firefighters and medical personnel Berger survived and missed only one race (the 1989 Monaco Grand Prix) due to burns to his hands. Michele Alboreto also had a fiery accident at the Tamburello corner testing his Footwork Arrows at the circuit in 1991 but escaped injury. Riccardo Patrese also had an accident at the Tamburello corner in 1992 while testing for the Williams team. The death of Ayrton Senna on 1 May 1994 sealed the fate of the corner being run flat out ever again.
