I think this is somewhere on another thread, but what awesome car control from the Master and great to watch again ! :)

[Sudesh]

You said it!!! A master and makes it look so easy. LEDGEND!!! Love the music on the video, wonder who it is?

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

[Sudesh]

Yeah I noticed that! Steering wheel doesnt look the same either? Its probably the first production car.

I noticed the alloy wheels aren't OEMs
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

shame about the music, who wants to here the engine or Ayrtons coments on how the handling is coming on:rolleyes:

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?

I noticed that too, but dared not comment on it!

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 :(

[gumball]

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