What Do They Sound Like?
Do they sound good around Brands? A totally different acoustic from Silverstone

Isn't the engine similar to the Zytek LMP1s?
If so, they sound great. |

I've heard they're the loudest things around - can't wait to see them on Sky tomorrow.

@JAG apparently some components are shared between the two
@touringledgend Yes one is extremly loud (can't imagine how loud the full grid will be) please warn people to bring ear protection! |

only if the driver botched the change listening to piquet at least he managed to downshift with little "gurgling" from the engine most of the time.

I thought they sounded ace. Roaring up into Druids, popping and banging, and no traction control on the exit Just hope the racing lives up to expectations... |

Standing behind them as they roared out of the pits towards Paddock Hill Bend was awesome........ The sound of 25 A1 cars racing across the start line is still reverberating in my ears
