Senna's NSX Test Drive

Jalopnik (based on a tip from myself!) has an article on a Senna clip on Google Video where he takes the (then new) Acura NSX for a test drive. Jalopnik didn't find the footage as interesting as some recent video of drifters test driving an NSX and Ferrari F430. Here's what they wrote:

But somehow after having seen the Drift King’s recent adventures in an NSX and watching Jeremy Clarkson attempt to beat his Gran Turismo time in one at Laguna Seca, the footage proved to be anticlimactic. Still, it’s got a pedal-cam, and we love us some pedal cam.

Now the drifting footage is good (really, how did they get that Ferrari?) and Clarkson was just sawing away at the wheel but here's the thing. The footage is less exciting because Senna is a god. He's driving that car in loafers, drifting it around spoon bend and taking 130R flat. The pedal cam lets you see Senna's technique for driving turbocharged cars - he blips the throttle in the middle of corners to keep the turbo boost pressure up. You can hear him doing the same thing in a Formula one car in this qualifying lap of Spa. That was Senna - he was always sizing up all of the angles and driving with total commitment using his sublime natural talent.
