The monument commemorating the Brazilian racing driver, three-time Formula 1 world champion, was erected on Ayrton Senna Street,[3] which was officially named by the Walbrzych City Council in 2015.

The initiative was supported from the beginning by Mayor Roman Szełemej, who was present at the unveiling ceremony of the monument.

It was attended by Hadil Fontes da Rocha Vianna, Ambassador of Brazil, and the prominent Polish racers including Sobiesław Zasada, Krzysztof Holowczyc, Maciej Wisławski, Maciej Szczepaniak, Rafał Sonik, Grzegorz Grzyb, Andrzej Kalitowicz.

The initial concept of the statue that was born Jerzy Mazur's imagination - that is Senna depicted in a seated position - was drawn by Stefan Romecki, the Polish racer and graphic designer.

The final design of the monument is credited to Dmitrij Buławka-Fankidejski - a sculptor with the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk - who undertook to create the sculpture.
