Engine Revs
Did you like F1 better when the engines revved to 15000rpm or a bit lower or now with the engines going up to around 18000-19000 odd rpm?

Now sounds better, but I did like the high revving Ferrari V-12s of 1994 - 1995.

The Ferrari V12's should be brought back. The one's from '94 and'95. It makes me shudder an orgasmic shudder hearing those engines tearing round a track. Brrrr....

I've just remembered what the 2000-2001 McLarens sounded like too! Ooh, baby!

I loved the sound of the Ford Zetec V8's from the Benettons.

I love the way the new motors sound. They sound raw and unsubdued. I wanna hear 20k and more. This retarded engine rule will halt progress for awhile but I am sure not for too long. I expect the revs to climb again only with more reliability.
Its funny how everybodys favorite teams seems to have the best sounding motors. |

taking the traction control off would help things no end.
The loudest I've heard was the 2001 McLaren at 200+mph Hockenheim. Physical pain. |
