these are professional drivers and it could even be nascar driver. it doesn't matter if the GT driver drove the prototype, it doesn't matter if they have 1/2 lap in the BRZ before taping, they get paid to drive. if Senna drove the BRZ he would know the limits of the car in every aspect of acceleration and braking within a lap if not less. since you like senna so much after the T.G. special and the documentary. did senna after driving a pre-production nsx drive it gently right out of the gate to get to know the car? cars like the nsx and GT/BRZ is not a handful for professional "racing" drivers, they will know the limit quicker than any of us even if we did 100 laps with the car.
again, he slowed down for a reason, out of respect, a closer race. we don't know but the BRZ should've won the race barring any mistakes. again, i get it. its a variety tv auto show and not an F1 Gran Prix race for the 2012 championship. |
2 things:
1. Senna help Honda make NSX, so of course he can push it to the limit.
2. I knew about Senna WAY before the documentary, so don't make it sound like I just barely found out who Senna was.
