Perhaps the greatest racing driver the world has ever seen.
This You Tube clip of him in the NSX Type R is classic. Just watch his feet. The throttle control is unbelievable!

one more. sorry about the size.
Great article. Can you imagine?
The BBC ran a documentary on A Year in The Life Of Mclaren. It was the year that Honda departed and Mclaren was using the Ford customer engines. Senna finished 2nd in the championship in a car way behind the Williams.
He also spotted a sticking valve spring by the noise at full chat while testing at Silverstone. the mechanics were reluctant to change it as the telemitry said it was fine. Ron Dennis replied "if he says it faulty change it". The problem was only diagnosed when the engine was stripped down.
In 1993 he won in the wet at Donnington Park. After a poor start he was fifth at the first corner. Donnington is ight and tricky but Senna was sublime and by the end of the first lap was in the lead. Only one other car was still on the same lap as him by the end, but 80 seconds behind. This included the great Michael Schumacher.
Incredible drive, incredible driver! :wink::biggrin:
