I think that's Akira Yanagawa at Ascari (the corner) at Imola in Italy. Certainly a World SuperBike race and I remember watching this on the tv at the time. Awesome footage but it would have been better to see a wider shot as he set quite a large portion of the corner alight!

I was watching that race at Imola when he died. The TV cameras were on his car after the crash, and I saw his head twitch and thought oh, good he's coming around. But turns out that wasn't the case.
Makes me wonder if Schumacher would have been as dominant if Senna was still around. F1 needs a good rivalry; at least Fernando has made it close the past two seasons.
