A Different Dimension

Good luck to all Evo 2015 participants! These are some quotes from Ayrton Senna from the 1988 F1 season. Taken from the English subtitles for the movie Senna.

That day, I suddenly realized
that I was no longer driving conscious.
And I was in a different dimension, for me.
The circuit for me was a tunnel,
which I was just going, going, going.
And I realize I was well beyond
my conscious understanding.

...

[reporter] What happens now, you two?

[Senna] Good fun.
We will have good fun from now on.

[rival Alain Prost] Fight. Maybe we fight outside the car.

[Senna] (laughs) I think it's gonna get
more and more exciting, the championship.

[Prost] Is it possible to be equal
in the championship?

[Senna] No.

[Prost] Shit.

[Senna] Can only be one winner. (laughs)

...

I started being thankful
as I was doing the last lap.
I thanked God.
I couldn't believe I was actually
going to win the Championship
with all the anxiety and tension.
I felt His presence.
I visualized, I saw God.
It was a special moment in my life.
An enormous feeling.
I have registered it in my memory,
and it remains a part of me.
