Another thing too about Sega sponsorship of the 1993 Williams Grand Prix Team.
Firstly, they got in and out at the right time as Williams won the F1 championship that year.
Secondly, it seems nobody seems to have noticed the uncanny similarity between Sonic the Hedgehog and the likeness of Damon Hill (the other Williams driver). I just remembered I used to call him Sonic as a private joke at the time ! Now over 20 years ago ....
As a follower of F1 since the early 80's when it was becoming televised internationally and about when Senna's F1 career began, I was reminded since his passing in 1994 the Donington race of 1993 was one of his best efforts.
But amazingly, this is the first time I have heard it called the Sega Grand Prix of Europe.
Sega must be nuts to not have banged on about this connection since then, as its a legendary thing.

Re: The Making Of Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
Here's a tricky star wars question for the oldies.
What did Luke and Nigel Mansell have in common.

Re: Month Of Kong: The Making Of Diddy Kong Racing
How topical.
I just bought the Diddy Kong Racing DS card for $5 from a second hand shop.
Backfilling my collection of classic games.
