Absolutely, they're both man and machine in such a unique skilled driving exposition showed. The way Senna managed oversteering is such a delight to watch. He's for sure a driving and racing legend.

Yep that's what stood out for me too

And he dead at imola

@@gathel8574 because of tecnical fault

Fr, he’s like a madman behind the wheel.

It's untrue, the main drivers who helped in the development of the NSX were Senna and Nakajima. Kurosawa is not mentioned by Honda as having participated in the development. The car only went into series production after Senna's feedback. On Honda's website they mention Senna's name, but they don't mention Kurosawa's.

@@leonardokdc1 but they don't mention Kurosawa's？？？ 嘘ついてんじゃねーよクソ無知外人が 黒澤元治　開発　で日本語で調べろや公式ソースでゴロゴロ出てくるわ だいたい、セナは日本GPのついでにちょっと試乗しただけ ホンダの「セナが乗った」っつー実績作りにすぎない

​@@leonardokdc1 Kurosawa was a bridgestone tire tester as well as honda test driver at the time. To be honest, I don't think they get much credit for all the crazy stuff they do. Best Motoring has videos of him talking about testing the then acura legend coupe and twisting the frame and dropping the window on a nurburgring test drive with Honda executives spearheading NSX development at the ring. He also talks about it on his own personal channel and organizes a NSX gathering in Japan every year. All of the official NSX nurburgring lap records were set by Gan-san. I'm sure Senna and Nakajima also tested and gave input, but they were also full time F1 drivers where testing production cars were not their main job.

@@TheCorington I'm not disparaging Kurosawa and Nakajima, just to be clear. I just said that the Honda NSX only started its series production after Senna tested the car and asked for changes to be made to the car. Honda did what Senna asked. Before F1, Senna already had the sensitivity to know the cars on the track and this made a difference throughout his life. Honda saw this in him, so he participated in the development of the car.

...... Possibly the blandest era.

Holy cow this is a very detailed comment about whats going on, I highly appreciate you sharing this. Excellent observation

It's unfair to blame Ayrton for what Honda are today.

ok please stay on the ground! Dont overestimate things please! Honda is where they are because of their known reliability awesome engineering and awesome price performance. Not because senna drove the nsx and the f1 cars.

@@gaboaaa23 They sure as hell got the exposure they deserved, also they claim that Ayrton gave them the respect they deserved while he was working with them unlike the rest of the people working in F1 as Japan is oriental.

It's perfect recipe.. Ayrton senna, did Honda nsx..F1#Formula Just like Repsol Honda Marc Marquez. Machine n men equal force The power dream,we believe n proud Honda. Japan..

yeh, i noticed this watching another channel - having them side by side it shows Senna, if you didnt know any better, drives like a complete amateur. I saw something that broke down his style and the conclusion was it wasnt fast and would only work in a handfull of cars. But then i guess thats part of the legend, a legend isnt going to fit our idea of how things work.

@@r200ti maybe amateur is closer to the source, always fresh, plenty of things to try.

You will like this video then. watch?v=Nl5cFzcZ8YY

Meaningless comparison, Senna was just doing tests to help with the development of the car. The Japanese driver took it seriously, he wanted to be faster than Senna.

pikathaw I couldn't agree more.

Quebresil I agree with you, I just don't think he was in the same level as Senna, Senna wasn't even wearing a helmet for him was probably just like lets do a warm up lap.

TRAV I agree!

Agreed, that are some drivers from Japan that are crazy good, like Shinji Nakano, Takuma Sato, Kamui Kobayashi and others, but Satoru Nakajima, Ukyo Katayama, Taki Inoue and Yuji Ide omg 😂 😂 😂

You thinking about Chinese drivers... Japan driver's a great drivers...

Many Japanese drivers are very talented. However they don’t have the connections to get on the grandstands like many Europeans. They go unrecognized or overlooked.

this is suzuka

Buwaneka Buddhadasa senna approved

Gan san is the best NSX samurai I have ever seen but Senna's skills are just incredible, I don't think the fastest laps from them would be different if both drivers went 1 vs 1 with the NSX, both know how to take the car to its very limit.

You'v got to be kiding..with all respect for the other driver.. No one was ever faster than Senna with equal equipament, maybe Alain Prost in a few ocasions. Take a look on the Mercedes race for f1 stars in 1984..

Gan San had been racing a lot longer than senna

Senna wearing loafers, trousers and a shirt, no suit, helmet and gloves. Absolute legend 🤣👍

Mattias Filander haha you're right XD

Mak And SENNA didn't even know He was in a Race 😂😂😂😂😂

he was already more than 50 years old in this video. Watch him in s2000 with Senna style kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpt2gaiZq5nGZ30.html

Gan San was in his 60s when driving this lap, and he was talking the lap through while driving. He's a very capable driver and a legend of motorsport.

Gan San did this casual style in a convertible!

Someone would, but Honda wouldn't allow it because its a big piece of history for them. The lap is great but a bit overglorified.

@@MFUnicornBey only way they are beating SENNA s lap record is by using a better Nsx !

​ tires from nowadays is way better than before so its irrelevant if someone beat him

@@MartinEcko yep. There's a video on KZfaq of an amateur driver in a lightly modded early NSX beating Gan-san's laptime on the Nurburgring...on an open track day with traffic!

"1976" from RUSH soundtrack (hans zimmer)

Sensei Ayrton Senna

5-speed. The Type R first got the 6-speed in the NA2 version.

Kurosawa's lap looks smoother because it was slower, he wasn't pushing the car just like Senna I guess.

@@shotz_o Smoothness is quickness

@@karelpipa Very true, maybe he was faster, I mean he was in full racing clothes with helmet and all, Senna was just wearing those hilarious shoes xD but non the less his lap (the japanese) was definitely very good and very smooth and very fast :D

@@karelpipa endeed, but Senna's lap was faster anyway..wasen't it?

@@tbg008do you know their times?

say no more: at the beginning "flower" by moby (song featured in the movie "gone in 60 seconds"

Yea, first time I heard this song was the intro to that movie back in the day. Good reference ;)

Thats why it says "unmatched sectors" because the track layout is different. This is to bring context to the video. Also this is the closest it could get.

You idiot

Claro que sí incluso hubiera acabado con senna fácilmente, Kurosawa es de la vieja escuela, cuando senna estaba aprendiendo a andar en kart ya Kurosawa era el más rápido de Japón, aparte de que Kurosawa ha corrido en varias categorías y no solamente en monoplazas como senna, el NSX es en realidad una creación de Kurosawa el aporte de Senna es un granito de arena en comparación a la de Kurosawa, y aunque senna es considerado como el mejor piloto de F1 de todos los tiempos no era invencible.
