Chassis: 98T - 4
The fourth and final 98T was called into service after chassis 3 was damaged in a testing accident. Ayrton Senna raced the car from the British Grand Prix onwards. Senna qualified the car on pole four times but failed to convert any of them in a victory. He came closest at the inaugural Hungarian Grand Prix where he fought ferociously with compatriot Nelson Piquet for the victory. In recent years chassis 4 was completely restored by Dawn Treader Performance in the UK. To get the high-tech racing car back to full order over 2500 hours of man-hours were needed. The final result was showcased at the 2007 and 2008 Goodwood Festivals of Speed.
