I can clearly remember this car in the 1993 European Grand Prix held at Donington in the pouring rain.
Driven by the late, great Ayrton Senna, he made the others in the race look amateur.

Great race for Senna but also a bad one, in lap 58 he cars get out of fuel ...

If Reiza Studios has exclusive rights to the Honda powered Mclaren MP4, why not just use instead the Ford powered MP4/8. Its still Senna's Mclaren and even though its has less power than the Benetton B193, its still powerful and with Senna, this car is almost competitive as the Williams FW15.

Very nice, but I think this one was already suggested?

it's strange that with the Senna tribute we didn't get this lovely car.
