Ayrton became the initiator of the Assembly of Racers: at the meeting athletes discussed the issue of improving the safety of participants in racing competitions.
At the competition, the Grand Prix of San Marino collided two riders, which is why three viewers suffered from broken fragments. Therefore, the safety machine was called on the track to limit the speed of sports cars, behind which Airton drove six circles. In the seventh circle, the safety car was withdrawn, and by coincidence, Senna flew off the route at the turn "Tubello" at a speed of 310 km / h.
When the audience and the organizers of the races realized that the athlete was not moving, the competition was stopped.
