    Not 92, this is 89 when they first tested with Senna. You can see how softer the suspension was back then, before Senna's feedback improved the car setup.

    Falta poco para que se cumplan 30 años de tu precoz partida ...
    Sólo alguien con un talento tan grande nace cada muchos decenios...
    Lejos los '80 y '90s la mejor época de la F1.
    La actualidad es monotona e hibrida, los F1 actuales parecen de pista de Scalextric... Encima los pilotos son modelos al igual que los jugadores de futbol...
    Por suerte los que andamos por los 60 años de edad disfrutamos de toda esta gente que jamas volverá.

      And yes this is a prototype, which can be seen pretty clearly by looking at the interior. The shifter is squared off with no trim behind it. The center vents are not correct and do not have the clock above it. The dials on the radio and HVAC are too large. On the exterior the wheels are not the production "fat fives".

    I’m sure a Japanese pro driver would almost be able to do the same job required for the set up, but it’s just wonderful and out of this world to have Senna test drive and set up there flagship supercar isn’t it? It’s truly a marriage made in heaven, both in a practical and marketing sense.

    • @winterpurple4587
      @winterpurple4587 Před měsícem

      Not really. Pro driver is a very vague term because there are many racing disciplines - road, off-road, drift, drag, etc. And under road racing there are many sub categories, each requiring a slightly different skillset. For example NASCAR racing is a different skillset to GT racing. And knowing GT doesn't automatically make you good in Formula racing. And vice versa. So on and so forth.
      Back then there was no Japanese Formula driver anywhere near the top, let alone Champion. And even today. They wanted the NSX to be Formula-derivative like Ferraris are. Hence the significance of feedback from a Formula Champion.

    • @williamxchau
      @williamxchau Před měsícem

      @@winterpurple4587 good point, there may not have been a Japanese F1 driver as such, but all other Japanese cars were developed without one, the Nissan GTR was developed without one and it’s doing fine. I don’t really see Porsche or Lamborghini or even Mercedes needing to find Hamilton or Verstappen to test and develop their cars they have specific test drivers for that. I remain convinced that the marriage tho perfect, was 50% marketing.

    One thing I've always noticed about Senna's driving, is that his steering inputs can be quite extreme, and same with this throttle inputs, jabbing at the throttle repeatedly. From footage inside the car things look extreme and aggressive. But video from outside the car, video from the side of the track, the car looks entirely composed, not changing its directional angle anymore than was intended. Always on the racing line, and always pointing in exactly the correct direction, unless he's using a little bit of oversteer to turn the car in a hairpin.
    That's how you know you're quick. When from inside it looks like you're wrestling the thing, but outside it looks like you're a chauffer. Example: 1:03

    As a result of Senna's technical feedback at a testing session at the Nürburgring in 1989, the Honda engineers increased the stiffness of the chassis by 50% after saying the test mule felt "a little fragile". As far as i'm aware, this later session in 1992 was to fine-tune the suspension after his initial feedback.

    Je suis monté dans cette auto avec un pilote de rallye, une chance, l'auto est magnifique et efficace, le pilote m'expliquait qu'elle a un équilibre hors du commun. J'ai pu lui rendre l'appareil avec une Civic V-tec de la même époque. 😅

    Would've been a 10/10 but the music fucking ruined this one.

    Did the NSX of the time have a rake/reach steering wheel? Looks like he is miles too far away.

    The book end video to this would be the video of Reubens Barrichello driving Senna's own NSX with Adrienne, who was Senna's gf at the time ... both of them reminiscing about him.
