I noticed the alloy wheels aren't OEMs when he left the garage, maybe they were only sold on early Japanese Xs?

These are the slanted 5 spokes that it is believed should also be on the G plate HUK car.

Can always find time to re-watch that and other Senna vid's

Am surprised by his F1 seating position with fully stretched arms.
I have done quite a lot of track courses and in my experience on track you always get 1-2 seat notches closer to the steering wheel to have arms bent a little more/get closer to the wheel to get more control.
Perhaps he as F1 pilot is using his position as beeing used to that?

Anyone got "principles of race driving" by Ayrton, he goes against what i've heard in there as well, in a an old jim russel tape they say you should contol the steering with the inside arm/hand, Ayrton says the outside arm/hand, I think i'll go with Ayrtons way;)

I keep looking to buy a copy but they usually go for too many pennies :(

About three or four years ago, I can't remember where, but a lucky buy looking back.
