I have been a Motorsport fan for nearly twenty years! I love Ayrton and Bruno Senna beyond words. I never got to see Ayrton race but on the 14th of April this year (2013) I finally made it to Silverstone for the first time and got to meet the lovely and talented Bruno Senna!
I went to Donington on the Thursday and got to see some of Ayrton's cars and made one dream come true! I got to touch the steering wheel of one of Ayrton's McLaren's! Just being there and seeing all these amazing cars and the iconic Ayrton and Fangio statues outside. Everything there was just amazing and a dream come true for me.
I went on to Silverstone with the hope of meeting Bruno on the Sunday morning during the pit walk and autograph session! Little did I know I would get much more than I ever hoped or dreamed of! I got to hang out in the Aston Martin garage and see and hear them working on the cars! Amazing! First time in a garage, first time in the pit lane, first time in the paddock! Seeing drivers walking around and so approachable! Then one of the best moments ever happened!
I saw Bruno Senna right in front of me! When I met him, he was so lovely, so happy to take pictures and sign everything I had, just so happy to spend time with his fans! I'm an even bigger fan now after meeting him! The Aston Martin team are so great with the fans and the WEC! Myself and Jodi went to use the toilet in the AMR garage after we had met Bruno! While I was in there Bruno came in to use the toilet and had to run off in search of another!
I was very lucky to win Tea with Bruno on the Saturday! Had the time of my life! Got to spend some time hanging out with Bruno! Took some more pictures and signed some more items for me! I didn't want it to end! Then i got to meet him again on the Sunday morning during the autograph session!
It was an amazing experience! One which I'll never forget! I couldn't have asked for more! I had the best first time Motorsport experience ever!
