Question - 190

Connect the two visuals.

Answer: The first visual is the Imola F1 track (the San Marino GP) where Ayrton Senna had a fatal crash in 1994. The corner where he crashed is called the Tamburello after the musical instrument shown in the right. Tamburello is also the name of a squash-like sport played with a racket that looks like the drum. After gentle prodding by way of hints, Rajeev, Iam, Rajesh K, Anshul, Shweta + Divya and Avinash got it. Well done.

The Tamburello corner - Ayrton Senna's accident spot at the Imola F1 track. The corner was rerouted for future races. Tamburello on the right is a drum

The tamburello corner in Imola where Senna crashed his car. The word comes from a percussion instrument tambourine shown in the second visual.

Thanks for the sports hint..:)

That is the picture of the Imola Grand Prix circuit at San Morino and the spot circled is the "Tamburello corner" where Ayrton Senna crashed.

And the other picture is a Tamburello, which is the racket used in an Italian game, also named Tamburello, which according to the description in Wikipedia is a Tennis-Squash combo with 5 players per team!!..
