So, as many of you may know, this week's episode of Top Gear paid homage to Ayrton Senna, an amazing F1 driver, by doing an absolutely amazing piece about him (seriously if you haven't seen the episode, go watch it). After watching the episode, I was browsing through some of the Top Gear blogs hoping they had released the extra footage from the episode (which they hadn't yet, boooo), and I came across this video. To me it kind of capped off the segment they did about him. The words, music, and his voice just tie together beautifully.
Be warned, there is Honda content inside, but Honda haters please just shove your foot in your mouth on this one, and appreciate the beauty of motorsport, and an amazing driver.
I would highly suggest watching this in HD (and if you can, watch it on a TV, with a good sound system).

the crappier the car, the more the real drivers need a bail anyway...:lol:
the crap cars make the greatest movies, thye must be getting a bigger budget of BS.. sponsored. I wonder what ford will do for ken block?
I used to watch clash production videos, while despising 300 pound unibodies drifting lighter than 5hp briggs and stratton go kart.
watched it anyway. Videography nice.
The sube world? the better the car model, the more you will see it beaten on your random you tube search for it.
it is funny like that.
Then there is the real legends of automotives.. not enough to share, too rare. In fact there is only one driving video on you tube to this day of a 3408 cat in a pete heading into the urban.. and aspect ratio is wrong.
The more truth needs to be altered..the mysterious budget gets bigger form the abyss trying to stay out of their own hell.
sell sell sell

I haven't followed F1 since the '94 season. No joke. If you like F1 now, you'd completely hate what it was back then. The cars made MONSTER power, they had turbos, there was no electronic transmission, etc. And FIA didn't have as many ridiculous rules about handicapping good drivers to give crap drivers a chance at a podium finish. Those were the days when drivers were heroes to their nations.

Format67 never ceases to entertain. one of my all time favorite short car film producers ever.
all his other work is def worth your time.
Format67.net does put out some nice videos indeed.
Check out this video of Ayrton Senna taking a NSX around Suzuka. The footwork is amazing, and in loafers no less.
