"The Parting Shift: Ayrton Senna working an NSX at 10/10thsBy Brian Lohnes Posted 10/30/09

Ayrton Senna is dead. That's a sad fact. The good news is that his life and times were in an era when video tape was available. Nearly everything the guy did was on camera. He was a rock star racer on a global level. This video proves why. It is a bitchin' couple minutes of Senna beating the ever living crap out of an Acura NSX on a road course in Japan.
The best part of the video is that he's doing it sans helmet, and while wearing loafers! He's heel-to-toeing like a mother while rowing gears and trying to keep the car on the race track. The first minute is slow going as he's just looking over the car while a horde of people photograph him, but once the rubber meets the road and he takes to the track in a cloud of tire smoke, it is awesome viewing.

Senna was an amazing talent. He is one of those guys you would have liked to have seen drive in his prime with todays coverage (but in the old cars).

If everything he did was on YouTube we wouldn't see Ken Block every freaking day ;)
