wingnut Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I enjoyed that , you forget how visceral some of the engine notes are on these cars, I managed to get 5 / 8 right, absolutely love the downshift gearchanges on engine 2, AWESOME NOISE.

figgy Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 That Ferrari V12 on the downshift is music for F1 car nuts. The new cars for this season sound pants,in the eighties they ran 1.6 engines that still sounded nice,what have they done with the cack sounding things of late. One of the best sounds was the banshee wail of th Montoya Williams in qaulifying when it revved to a lot higher rpm. figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
