Default Brilliant Footage Of Senna Testing the old NSX-R At Suzuka

Fellow Jabbas World Bretheren bear witness to a legend

Ayrton Senna.

A press release of sort , shows Senna taking the old Nsx-r for an impromptu blast around the Suzuka circuit. It is a true sight to behold. All of Ayrton's signature manoeuvres are on evident here, From his legendary throttle feathering to balance the car with the most minute of inputs. To his pinpoint accurate racing lines and an overall sense of grace that can only be described as the midas touch (behind the wheel of the car of course ! )

This truly is a gem of a clip that most of you who havent seen it will probably for the first time get to to see the way Senna pedals a road car he helped engineer.
There are Bestmotoring esque interior shots and pedal cameras so you can watch his fluidity and how he is so harmonious with the car.

Ahh the memories of the great man come flooding back,

on a side not i found it quite amusing to see senna posing for the cameras doing the whole movie star glam thing with the shades and all.
Shame there aint no one with the charisma or natural skill he had in motor racing today

RIP

As brief as this clip is , im thankfull that its there as there isnt much footage of senna doing Pr work for The Nsx.

DO NOT POST ANYWHERE ELSE OUT OF JABBASWORLD
I REPEAT
DO NOT POST ANYWHERE ELSE !

enjoy.........

That video is gold, a keeper for sure like the japanese karting one.
So effortless behind the wheel and I like the fact that he did not go overboard when talking about the car even though he helped in the developement.
No doubt his humble and respectful nature was/is one of the reasons that the Japanese adore him(not in F1 of course ).
