The Senna Hall of Fame Collection, a unique compilation of race-worn items used by Ayrton Senna, will be on exhibit at Circuit of the Americas’ Downtown Paddock located at 304 E. Cesar Chavez Street during U.S. Grand Prix weekend.
Forming part of one of the largest private collections in the world, known as the Hall of Fame Collection, the one-of-a-kind exhibit of Ayrton Senna memorabilia will showcase items from each era of the legendary driver’s celebrated, almost mythical, career including his first Formula One test at Williams in 1983 and F-1 drive with Toleman in 1984. The collection will also include items from his years at Lotus (1985-’87), his most successful period at McLaren (1988-’93) as well as his final few races with Williams in 1994.
The collection has been meticulously gathered over a period of 20 years by private collectors Howard Jacobs and Darren Jack who partnered to form “The Hall of Fame Collection.” Today, it stands as one of the world’s largest collections of helmets, driving suits, gloves, steering wheels, and various Formula 1 car parts. It also celebrates the careers of other motorsport greats but the Senna HOF Collection sits right at the top.
Jack, who grew up in England, first attended a Formula One Grand Prix at Imola, when he was just four years old, which coincided with Senna’s first F-1 season with the Toleman team. The moment started a lifelong appreciation for the three-time Formula One World Champion and has resulted in this celebration of the late, great Brazilian’s life in motorsports. Carefully researched and documented by Jack and his team, each item tells its own distinctive story and provides a unique insight into one of the most enigmatic sportsmen of all time.
Speaking ahead of the Austin unveiling of the collection, Jack said: “Like so many people, I have had a huge appreciation for Ayrton Senna for most of my life. As one of the few sportsmen to truly transcend his sport, his enduring impact on the popular imagination remains as strong as ever and in some way I hope to contribute to his legacy via this collection. I am truly grateful to Circuit of The Americas for helping to make this possible during such an important week for them. By opening up this display to the public for the very first time, we will hopefully introduce a new audience to this true icon of motorsports and continue to shine a light on his timeless achievements.”

– Race-used steering wheels from some of Senna’s greatest F-1 cars
– Rear-wing endplates from almost every F-1 car driven by Senna
