I'm sure Senna drove the Nordschleife many times in his life as the new track wasn't completed until 1984. I couldn't find any evidence Senna drove an F1 car on the Nordschleife however. 1984 was Senna's first season in F1 and he did participate in the opening ceremonies at the GP-Strecke:

To celebrate its opening, an exhibition race was held, on May 12th, featuring an array of notable drivers. Driving identical Mercedes 190E 2.3-16, the line-up was Jack Brabham, Phil Hill, Dennis Hulme, James Hunt, Jacques Laffite, Niki Lauda, Carlos Reutemann, Keke Rosberg, Jody Scheckter, Manfred Schurti, Ayrton Senna and John Watson. Senna won ahead of Lauda, Reutemann, Rosberg, Watson, Hulme and Jody Scheckter.

I'm sure Senna drove on the Nordschleife during his F3 years in the early 80s and I'd be shocked if he hadn't tested or drove at some point on the Nordschleife...he was the most famous driver in the world and he got around.

However, the only evidence I can find of Senna ever driving an NSX on any track is the footage from Suzuka and the 1994 NSX-R test.

NSXGMS and areout I am running into deadends finding Senna times I do know he helped fine tune the car in Japan and I do know Honda setup a workshop for 8 months a few miles from Noprdschliefe so thats why I was asking. Perhaps any numbers from any drivers during that 8 month period would be worthy information

I will keep searching.
