From 'Senna' to my documentary about Café racer

I watched senna again this week. The film is directed by Asif Kapadia. It is a documentary for Brazilian formula one driver Ayrton Senna who won the champion 41 times and 3 times championship before he death at age 34. Many people call he 'racing prince'. Unfortunately, his tragic death at Imola in 1994.
The film has not express the any death hint, via Senna's  footage to storytelling about his racing career. From kart to formula one, he joined Lotus team in the Europe. Alain Prost and Senna are competitor on the field. However, the film have not comment too much in the aspect, just realistic restore the circumstance. If people do not understand formula one, he would be noticed the death information in the end of the documentary. However, the documentary not only give us storytelling but also leave a spiritual inspiration for Senna. 
In the documentary, filmmaker shooting competition of Senna, there are many deep space used in the race scene. In addition, the documentary have not using controlled situation to shooting the documentary.  
Nevertheless, I want to shooting the controlled situation in my documentary, because I want to restore the past scene. Using go pro attach in the motorcycle as first-person perspective that can emphasis sense of speed. And via track shot to shooting two Café racer racing in the street.  Interviewing two or three Café racer, record them story. One young Café racer, one old Café racer and one middle-aged Café racer.
