Ayrton Senna news - Video: Senna thrashes the NSX - 2010

It's Ayrton Senna tribute week on TopGear.com.

After Jeremy's epic salute to the legendary Brazilian on Sunday's show, a loyal TopGearista has pointed us in the direction of a rather awesome video.

This clip finally reveals the secret behind Senna's astonishing driving skills - white socks.

Watch as the Driving God jumps in the NSX and nails it around the Suzuka circuit. And then watch the box-out footage of Senna's lucky white socks as he dances on the pedals and creates automotive poetry.

*Cheers to Mikeado for the tip
