I-Way, The Car Simulators Building
Opened in 2008 the I-Way is a building dedicated to car and racing lovers. It is a place where the public can do simulations in race cars as Endurance, Raly and even Formula 1. The design of this sensational construction, located in Lyon - France, is from Cyrille Druart architects. Made of concrete slabs, it provides an internal environment focused on the simulators, the cars are camouflaged with the colors of the building and seem to be part of the building. I can't imagine the feeling of sitting in those cars, but I'm sure that it must be awesome. Besides this main attraction, the complex I-Way also offers fitness rooms, bar (alcohol-free), restaurant, conference rooms and offices. With its eighteen car simulators engineered by the aeronautics industry and made available here to the public for the first time, I-Way resolutely positions itself as a top-of-the-range venue. © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart © Cyrille Druart Photos by Cyrille Druart.

Ayrton Senna, the Legend
Yesterday was holiday here in Brazil, but also was the 15th year without Airton Senna, probably our biggest sport legend. Senna was in my opinion and I believe in the most of the brazilians, and dare say the whole world's opinion, the best F1 driver ever. He was a true hero, watching him driving on the Sunday mornings was something that I can't describe, pure art, a genius that was able to do something that us, mere mortals couldn't understand. This article is tribute to him, with some images and videos so we can remember and for those who didn't have the chance to watching who Airton Senna really was, a legend. "I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's." "With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." "Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles." "Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else. " Ayrton Senna - Amazing videos are here "You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood."
