I’m probably just about the only person in the UK who’s actually pleased that Senna is only being shown in a small number of cinemas from its release date of 3rd June – this Friday. Because that’s also when I go on holiday for ten days.

Widespread nationwide screenings will follow on the evening of Tuesday 21st June – much like I, Superbiker and TT3D: Closer to the Edge, which also had their widest distribution on a single Tuesday evening.

Details are on the film’s Facebook page, but it’s not comprehensive at the time of writing – for example, my local cinema will be screening the film this Friday and Saturday, but isn’t listed there.

So I’m pleased that I won’t miss out on seeing Senna at the cinema. But I will miss the Catalan and British MotoGP rounds, BTCC from Oulton Park, the whole of the Isle of Man TT, the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix, and the Le Mans 24 Hour. At least.

That’s some bad holiday planning right there.
