Not the car, Ayrton Senna, extremely hard for me to believe its been 25 years today he passed.

More uplifting and downright enjoyable (note the shoes):

I have a 91 NSX. I've watched that video a bunch of times. He nonchalantly strolls up in his penny loafers and drives the car outright balls to the wall.

My favorite driver. He was it for me and was a big part of why I love to watch racing. Miss him even to this day.

Love watching that right foot tap (as well as the shoes). A unique style for sure.
 
Noticed the NSX doesn't have posi-trac as only the left tire was spinning during his launch. Also noticed Senna is not smooth and jerks the wheel and pumps the gas pedal a lot. Considering coefficient of tire friction is a combination of tire angle (constantly jerking steering wheel left/right), acceleration/deceleration (pumping gas pedal), and speed, I would assume he is loosing a lot of tire friction through his driving technique. Not implying I could do better than he does in a race, but just an observation.
 
The movie was amazing.
 
Cool video. He's got the tack at red line a ton and also buries the speedo on the last straight. Very cool.

Very cool. He did have very interesting footwork.
