Always love watching that clip. Senna's use of the throttle mid corner goes totally against what any instructor would tell you, yet obviously worked for him, and was no different to what he did in an F1 car.
BTW, this clip was on a DVD that was made available to NSXCB members through this board sometime ago.
Have you got any more information about the DVD, and if it is still available?
Cheers,
Martin
Mr Cool or what :D even drives in loafers 8)

It isn't Kevin in the video, though if I were him, I would be rather chuffed at the huge compliment he has just been paid!! :wink:
Would that be a standard early 5speed 3.0 R that he's driving?
I don't know how an NSX can climb from an indicated 140 to 160 at the speed his car was accelerating. He was the best but even then I can't imagine a standard early Type R could top out that quickly and readily?
I'd love to get this on DVD if anyones knows where?
Dude - NO ONE can drive like that.Quote:

Like the logo on the rear glass of your car glenlewis - would like to do the same instead of current 2 Mills logo which is well stuck to the glass now :x
Yeah, no way that's me in the video...
I wouldn't be seen dead in aviators, and white socks.
Kevin,
Just revisited this for a quick Senna fix :) and thanx for posting!
I'm sure we'd all get it very wrong if any of us attempted such bullish footwork with the throttle. Its a shame there wasn't a chase car taking more footage as I'd love to know how often Senna lights up the rear tyres, into, through and out of each corner :shock:
Long live his memory
....the clip I believe was from a DVD called 'Senna My Hero' and 'backups' were 'leant' out through this site....
