If you have ANY interest in Formula One you will know that Ayrton Senna claimed all his titles powered by Honda engines. That tie-up alone made this Brazilian racing legend extremely popular in Japan. During his tenure as a Honda works driver Senna also aided in the development of the firm’s NSX sportscar.
As the Formula One circus moves to the Far East this weekend, this video is aptly timed to show you around the Japanese circuit of Suzuka, rated as one of the best driver’s tracks in the world.
Watch the triple world champion fling the NSX around as if it were a toy. Watch his fancy footwork, effortlessly matching revs and wheel speed. That he is doing so in a pair of brown loafers makes it so much cooler (even sparing the fact that he is wearing white socks).
