@patina.research Satoru Nakajima & Ayrton Senna Honda test day. We’ve all seen the famous footage of Senna driving the NSX a million times. Very refreshing to see him and Nakajima test-drive CRXs and EF Civics around Suzuka in 1989. I wonder if they knew how legendary this was in the moment. #senna #civic #hondacrx
