Honda's tribute to Ayrton Senna with a brilliant video!

Ayrton Senna racing in Mclaren Honda
I'll be frank that I wasn't quite born to witness the era, the dominance of Ayrton Senna. I first came to know about the legend when race drivers likes of Schumakers and Hamiltons used to tell how they were inspired by his driving.

So gradually I googled him up followed by viewing his race videos on youtube and then I was stunned by the shear skill of this man. Lapping around the chicanes of Monte Carlo, missing the corner wall by an inch or so gave me goosebumps! and made me realize why he will always be known as the best racing driver in this earth.

Honda's glory days were associated with Ayrton and Mclaren in Formula One Racing in the late 80s and early 90s. Eight world championships, 44 grand prix wins, 53 pole positions, record fastest lap set 30 times – all in the space of just four years tells about the chemistry between Honda and Ayrton.

Honda decided to remember with the legend, giving a tribute to him by reconstructing a flying lap in Suzuka circuit with an impeccable display of lights and sound of the growling V10. 




Using telemetry data and audio samples from the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix Honda has recreated the nostalgia of viewing the legend drive, see for it yourself in the video above and relive those golden moments.
