00:00This feeling of the race, of the track, of the car.
00:04You're in your own little universe. It's amazing.
00:07It was a huge emotion, because you're there watching the car that Senna raced.
00:15I think people are going to see those cars and be like,
00:17oh my God, where did they get those cars from?
00:21Gulani and Netflix looked for the Crespi in Argentina.
00:25A family that has a tradition of decades of building these cars.
00:29I've been in the Argentine car industry for 60 years.
00:33We had to get the whole family together and start this project.
00:37We built 22 replicas of the cars that Senna raced in.
00:42Of his main rivals, from Formula Ford to Formula One.
00:47Manufacturing chassis and things in real measurements,
00:50and seeing what elements were missing.
00:52As well as the suspension, the brakes.
00:55The main thing was to know at what speed we had to go.
00:59At maximum speed.
01:01From there we adjusted the mechanics of the car.
01:05The engines are special race engines that have been made for these cars.
01:10They've built the cars, so they literally know them inside now.
01:14They switch them over if we need to switch shells or chassis.
01:17We also have an important complement, which is our sound team.
01:21We have to find these cars of the time and record all their sound.
01:25I take the car's carcass out, put a label on the cockpit,
01:28close to the engine.
01:30It's a very complex process.
01:34For those who know the cars, the sounds,
01:37I think they'll be pleasantly surprised to see that we really listened to them.
01:41We were very loyal to what we were at the time.
01:49Two, three times a week we had a karting preparation.
01:52But it does just prepare you for that feeling of like...
01:55and how you move, how you sit down into the car,
01:57because they're astonishingly hard to get into, Formula One cars.
02:01You get into the car with this feeling.
02:04It's a great feeling.
02:06It's a great feeling.
02:07Sitting inside of a Formula One car,
02:09there's very few things that kind of come close to what that is.
02:17It's the biggest challenge.
02:19You're in the car, you're on the track,
02:21and you have dramatic control over the situation.
02:26It's the biggest challenge.
02:28You're in the car, you're on the track,
02:30and you have dramatic control over the situation.
02:37Action!
