About

The plaza serves as a pilgrimage site for motorsport and F1 fans. At the heart of the plaza is  the bronze monument "Velocidade, Alma e Emoção" ("Speed, Soul, and Emotion"), depicts Senna's  Formula 1 car racing  forward

Etched directly into the pathways are some of his most profound and inspiring quotes, allowing visitors to literally walk alongside his words on determination, faith, and speed.

The park provides a quiet, emotional retreat where fans can pay tribute to a man who transcended sports to become a symbol of Brazil's soul.
