Looks like ASIMO surprised the crowd at the BTCC. Visitors to the final round of the 2009 British Touring Car Championship last Sunday were treated to a surprise guest (http://world.honda.com/ASIMO/event/2009/091007/?r=r) - ASIMO. ASIMO travelled to the Brands Hatch circuit to appear as a mystery guest in Honda's popular racing quiz, ‘A Question of Motorsport'. The quiz has been held at a number of rounds of the BTCC this year to entertain fans and sees two teams of Honda racers pit their sporting acumen against one another.

And lastly a little video someone sent me of the late Ayrton Senna in a NSX-R around Suzuka. RIP Senna.
