The 1994 Pacific Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on April 17, 1994 at the TI Circuit, Aida. It was the second race of the 1994 Formula One season. Ayrton Senna started the race from his 64th pole position, but was overtaken by Schumacher before the first corner and was hit by Mika Häkkinen and spun off the track. Nicola Larini also went off the track and ran into Senna's car causing damage to both Larini's and Senna's cars. Mark Blundell also spun on the same corner and stalled his car in the middle of the track. This first lap carnage allowed Michael Schumacher and Benetton-Ford to easily win their second race of the season.

The track was widely criticized by the drivers for its lack of overtaking opportunities and this proved true during the race, with the only real passing was Damon Hill passing some cars in the early laps after a spin. This led to a fairly processional race, however the podium places were a surprise, mainly owing to the first corner collision and unreliability of the top teams.

A 3 stop strategy was seen as best by most of the teams, owing to the circuit not suited to older tyres.

And we directly move on to Aida :-) Will Häkkinen continue where he started. Or will Senna beat him this time. Maybe it is Hill who is lucky this time or do Footwork score points again?

Skip Barber (NTM) @ Okayama International Circuit (Aida) I started on pole and managed to reach turn 1 first but then all hell broke loose behind me. Managed to win in the end since most of my immediate competition was out of the race after that carnage. Recorded with Fraps and edited with Virtualdub.
