This year's Austrian Grand Prix will also have the premier of a musical, which commemorates the life of late Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna. The organisers say the musical, a US$ 625 thousand production, could be taken abroad.

The Austrian composer Roland Baumgartner presented his idea yesterday. He said: "Senna has become a myth. He was a modern gladiator who was also involved in humanitarian projects outside the racing track."
