In 1994, 52 Japanese people came to Brazil in order to present Brazilians and the Ayrton Senna Institute with the Laureatta, a sculpture in steel in which all the 41 victories achieved by Ayrton Senna in F1 are depicted. There are only two of them in the world – one in Brazil and one in Japan, representing the bond between both countries, besides the admiration and warmth the Japanese felt towards the driver.

The Laureatta was made by Kiyofume Kikutake, and in its base there’s an inscription that reads: “Faster than time, more real than a dream”. And there’s an interesting fact about the steel cone: it houses a piece of paper, listing the names of the 1,500 people who paid for the sculpture.

This replica is a scale version of the original, and just 200 were produced by Racing International in.

Please note, part of the wreath is damaged and has broken away. For more information, please contact an RM Sotheby's representative.
