Galpin Auto Sports Senna NSX

Had a similar concept based on RM's old black and white car...but this turned out quite good:

Should have just done it in paint since they had it apart.

I agree with you. It almost looked like they were going to paint it with the amount of prep work they did.

Ironically, with all the effort to put the Honda logos on, I am surprised they kept the Acura badges and not swap them. We all know they are the same, but the H badges would match the theme better.

Your photo in post #2 is, I presume, a euro or japan car. Do you know where it is ?
With apologies for posting this non-NSX photo but this was the Anson SA6 Super V that I campained in 1989 and 1990.
I am told the guy who bought it from me (a huge Senna fan ) still races it in VARA on the west coast.

Look at the bottom of that pic...its from the Forza video game! Very cool though.

And that guy in the open wheeler's helmet is the wrong livery...

I missed the Forza connection. Clever.
BTW, in the racing world, a helmet is a very personal thing. In my years of racing I think I have rarely if ever, seen a true replica of a famous driver’s helmet on the grid. IMO these full scale replicas are a new fad, mostly to display at home or at the office.

Well aside from Senna and me, who else has a famous helmet design?

They did a great job with that car. I like it a lot better than the Forza version to be honest.
