NSX taken out by F1 driver

[robfenn]

Earlier in the year we auctioned a ride in our NSX for charity. The car would be driven by ex-F1 driver, Martin Donnelly. For those with a good memory, or have seen the recent Senna film, will know Martin was involved in the horror crash in his Lotus at Jerez in 1990. He is a great guy and we've known him a few years now through racing our Lotus.

Anyway, a friend took these fantastic pictures of the car at Brands Hatch.

Finally, the lucky passenger with Martin.

Thanks for sharing!

We visited Brands Hatch back in the 1990's with our friend (and fellow Flag Marshall) Mickey Drake, though there was just a school going on......no real racing.

AMAZING, the new green livery looks better than the orange and the old livery was pretty good already.:biggrin:

I read the title and saw the pictures and my heart almost sank...I thought the title meant "taken out" as in totaled

Thanks guys. Martin complained about the steering, the power steering (not OEM) needs more work! Otherwise he was happy with it. When its finished, it will be interesting to see how it compares to his Evora GT3 car, which on paper is very similar to the NSX.
