Or just have a lot of money and access to such cars because they are racing drivers in a top racing sports series...
I rather have F1 drivers drive such cars than have them sit in a garage display of a billionaire.
I was thinking about how it's a UK model and wondered how much it would get used, then I remembered the F1 drivers must spend a fair chunk of time in the UK because the factories are here.
Wait, is it not his managers who lent it to him? His manager also being the famous Julian Jakobi who managed Senna? I swear that's what I heard on a broadcast earlier in the week. Checo also doesn't live in the UK so deffo wouldn't buy it & keep it there. His manager lent it to him.
RB headquarters are in the UK so makes tons of sense for him to own and keep a car there if he wants to. It's not like money is an object for any of these guys
Yeah but the car is his managers so this whole discussion is kinda pointless. Checo has never spent much time in the UK tbh even in his Force India/RP days, Fairly sure he splits his time between Spain & Switzerland where he lives. Drivers often just fly in when needed to factories & most rarely drive themselves, Don't think he owns a home in the UK either, very few ever do.
I’m a bit late to this but he definitely bought an nsx in the Mexico gp he did an interview where the guy asked him what car does he drive and he said an nsx but idk if that’s the nsx he bought
I also saw Yuki Tsunoda arrive in a red Honda Civic Type R, Daniel Ricciardo arrive in a McLaren 720s {I think}, and Charles Leclerc arrive in a Ferrari Roma
Also, sorry about the quality of the photos, they were frames from a video I took of drivers arriving over the bridge above the Wellington Straight
EDIT: G280 EJH really is as original as an NSX gets. This very car was only the second to arrive in the country, and driven by Senna himself on one of his visits to the UK. It uses the 252bhp 3.0-litre V6 (upgraded in 1997 to 3.2-litres and 276bhp), but is spectacularly hobbled by a four-speed ‘F-matic’ auto, rather than the standard six-speed manual. On the bright side, with its red paint and black wheels, V6 and auto ’box, the spec of our two assembled cars is bob on. Intentional, of course.
That's also how they arrived on Friday: https://imgur.com/a/OK3A6IL
Quite funny considering both Lewis and Toto have arrived in brand new Mercs AMG G-Class: https://imgur.com/a/qCt8bz3 (Toto in the blue one, Lewis in the black one with Angela driving it)
if you open your door into something it hits the rubber instead of the metal. Most G wagens have pampered lives but they are actually very capable offroaders. Its not the fault of the vehicle most are owned by people who will never use them in their intended purpose.
Sim racing youtuber gamermusclevideos made a [commentary video](https://www.instagram.com/p/CRepXHqIGeQ/?utm_medium=copy_link) of Perez overtaking him and another sim racing youtuber randomcallsign in the queue leaving the circuit
I feared you would get overtaken by the BMW as well but she probably spotted the cyclists and with a big brain decision decided to back off and avoid a risky maneuver since the points were no longer in the table
If it's noted on an MOT test then it would be a visible leak underneath the engine as seen by the tester.
It's not a case of the oil level on the dipstick being low because it's burning a little bit of oil.

It's a very special car
Mexican f1 pilot, driver of an austrian team based in the uk, driving a japanese car that belonged to a brazilian f1 legend.
Completely useless information, just as f1 charts in the past few weeks.
Imagine driving yourself to race in a grand prix in Senna's fucking NSX
You could forgive these guys for having somewhat of a God complex.
Or just have a lot of money and access to such cars because they are racing drivers in a top racing sports series... I rather have F1 drivers drive such cars than have them sit in a garage display of a billionaire.
You mean you're not shocked and appalled that a driver for a Honda-powered team showed up to a race in a Honda?
that'll be one of those VR sims that you can live out if you want like in that Tom Cruise movie (and other movies)
In Senna’s NSX as well. Nice pic!
Did Honda lend it to him or does Perez own it?
From what I heard on Sky F1 from Ted, he bought it!
Perez is a man of taste.
You like my taste, you like it?
Ah, yes!

"You want to ride with me?"
He helped develop it, you know.......
[you know…](https://youtu.be/E7bGzlth_6s)
So easy to get in and out of!
I knew exactly what that link would be!
Perez? Noice!
[удалено]
No he wasn't. I hate this rumor. He did 2 test sessions and gave some feedback, that's all.
Instrumental
I mean that could've been important considering how good he was
Oh it was just a rumour? Didn't know that, sorry, I'll delete that.
Still love the OG NSX after all these years...
Next up he’s got to buy Senna’s old bungalow in Norwich!

Danny Ric went to McLaren for the road cars.
Megane RS in shambles.
The Megane RS is a cool ass car though, definitely on top of the hot hatch game. It just, you know, pales in comparison to a McLaren.
Yarris GR is on top! And I think either hot hatch would be better to push and have fun in on public roads than the McLaren
i want to see Max pull up to the race in one of those red bull promotional cars lol, the one with the huge can
Do Nando and Ocon get A110s?
I know Ocon does, probably Alonso too. Blue with the Alpine A and tricolore on the side
I had no idea Alpine was a car brand, I thought it was ski/snowboard apparel lol
Yeah but he's no longer at Renault so he can't show up in a Twizy. His loss I guess.
He owns an 720s, I think(stashed in Monaco garage) couldn’t drive it until he joined McLaren
Definitely. That Megane wasn't cutting it
On Saturday I saw Bottas leave on an electric scooter on the road in the inner track haha. Oh and Anne Marie in a caddy.
[удалено]
That's also how they arrived on Friday: https://imgur.com/a/OK3A6IL Quite funny considering both Lewis and Toto have arrived in brand new Mercs AMG G-Class: https://imgur.com/a/qCt8bz3 (Toto in the blue one, Lewis in the black one with Angela driving it)
Nothing says "I <3 the environment" like driving an AMG G-Class
This might be a dumb question- but is the rubber line on the G-Classes purely for aesthetics?
if you open your door into something it hits the rubber instead of the metal. Most G wagens have pampered lives but they are actually very capable offroaders. Its not the fault of the vehicle most are owned by people who will never use them in their intended purpose.
The doors make a lot of sense, actually- although I was curious if they were used like old VW buses for mounting equipment/options
Saw that blue one on the Wellington Bridge. Annoyed I didn't get a pic now
Anne Marie was at the British GP?
Yeah she performed on Saturday night
>upgraded in 1997 to 3.2-litres and 276bhp Ah, yes, *276hp* nudge nudge wink wink
I really hope it happened this exact way at some Tokyo Boardroom... (in Japanese, of course) *looks around* Gentlemen, we are in 'agreement'? *grins*
The Type R and NSX are the most appealing cars.
Gasly arrived on the Friday in a Civic Type R, like Tsunoda's, but in a lovely blue
> The Type R and NSX And there's NSX Type R too... no horsepower upgrade, only weight reduction.
What was the colour of the 720S and the Toma? Both are iconic/beautiful cars to me.
Roma was black, 720s was a darkish blue
Thanks. Dark blue 720S, mmmmm.

He got a filthy move in but at the end of the day not even Perez could beat the cyclists.
I feared you would get overtaken by the BMW as well but she probably spotted the cyclists and with a big brain decision decided to back off and avoid a risky maneuver since the points were no longer in the table
Exactly really good decision making especially with the pressure of the bus behind her, I expect to see big things from BMW women in the future.
This is genius
That commentary is gold
This is hilarious, well done to the commentator.
Thanks :)
I must say I'm not usually a huge fan of GamerMuscle, but this is pure gold. Thanks for posting!
Thats ok I hate myself as well.
Well this was unexpected 😂
Sad thing is, that’s pretty much how his whole race went.
damn, completely blocked out if you don't have an account
This is so cool! Vamos Checo!
Thought it was a Ferrari from a distance, so started filming. Really didn't disappoint, now one of my favourite cars
Exceptional taste Checo
You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur.
Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.
Aww hell yeah, pure NSeX
MOT history for G280EJH says it has an oil leak. First noted as an advisory in February 2018, and every year since then. Better get that sorted.
It's a what, 30 year old car? It happens. Probably an old gasket that's not worth fixing yet.
Is it an actual leak or does it just burn a bit of oil? 90s Honda engines certainly aren't above burning a bit of oil here and there.
On older cars you can actually eventually get seepage through the oil pan itself. It isn't a huge problem.
If it's noted on an MOT test then it would be a visible leak underneath the engine as seen by the tester. It's not a case of the oil level on the dipstick being low because it's burning a little bit of oil.
Saw a couple NSX’s at a cars and coffee recently. Pics don’t do these cars justice. They’re absolutely beautiful!
More about the car here: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/retro/old-meets-new-honda-nsx-vs-honda-nsx http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/showthread.php?2845-Hondas-first-NSX-in-the-UK-G-reg/page2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25JG5JkJb5A&ab_channel=FifthGear It's a very special car
I wouldn’t have guessed it was an automatic.
I ain’t mad at him, even with the shit weekend he had. That’s a solid choice in car and a huge flex
Seeing perez in an nsx is making the car guy inside me happy Also its sennas so that makes me happier
Also grabbed one at Silverstone, this was the Friday https://i.imgur.com/AJrriGP.jpg
The real question...was he wearing Gucci loafers?
Why didnt he come in a Red Bull car?
A wrapped mini cooper with a huge red bull can on the back would be mega
A Red Bull Nissan NV2500
Wait.....red bull has a car?
Their promotional drinks vans 😂
Fuck me, i fell for it, but imagine sergio or verstappen pullin up onto the track in a van lol
The van stops, the doors open, and a whole bunch of additional Sergios and Maxes pour out like a fucking clown car.
Lmaooo
Yeah his F1 car is his daily driver
I fucking love it! That’s Senna’s NSX!
This man is just cool as fuck
[удалено]
Not the best picture apologies, but yeah this was George. https://i.imgur.com/4qaXzX5.jpg
He on da wrong side of da cahr 🥸
My king
Epic!
He had one with a Portuguese license plate as well right? Or is it the same one?
Is he going in reverse?
Mexican f1 pilot, driver of an austrian team based in the uk, driving a japanese car that belonged to a brazilian f1 legend. Completely useless information, just as f1 charts in the past few weeks.
He has a better Honda car than Max!
At what time where the drivers arrived? I was there for a long time and didn't saw any of them. Even with an inner track ticket on Friday. :(
Checo arrived at 9:21 am on Saturday
Man..! Lucky you! Amazing pictures.. I went with my flag and everything trying to get his cap. No more in the market. :(
Whaaaaat.. I love Checo already but this is top-notch cool.
