RacingNews365 recently sat down for an exclusive interview with Terry Fullerton – the man Ayrton Senna marked as his greatest rival.
When asked about Ayrton Senna’s greatest rival, most motorsport fans would likely mention Alain Prost, due to their fierce rivalry in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, Senna considered Terry Fullerton, a London-born go-karter, to be the most memorable driver he raced against during his early years in Europe. Fullerton’s speed, consistency, and overall skill left a lasting impression on Senna. Their pure racing experiences in the late 1970s and early 1980s were devoid of politics and money, creating fond memories for Senna. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Senna’s passing, RacingNews365 interviewed Fullerton, who reflected on their initial meeting in 1978 and their intense on-track battles. Fullerton’s victory over Senna in the final lap decider at The Champions Cup in 1980 stands out as a defining moment in their competitive relationship.
