The Matra 650 V12 engine: http://youtu.be/HnCNyB52J0Q
This gave me an idea. What is the best sound in the history of motorsport?
18th August 2011, 17:27 at 5:27 pm #176562raymondu999ParticipantThe old Ferrari V12’s, minus traction control
18th August 2011, 18:35 at 6:35 pm #176563IcthyesParticipantThe turbos had the best sound, glad they’re coming back
http://youtu.be/K0Kez3P44Qo here you can only really hear it when it’s accelerating but still, great sound
18th August 2011, 18:38 at 6:38 pm #176564KingsharkParticipantNothing beats the BMW-Williams V10 sound!
18th August 2011, 20:45 at 8:45 pm #176565dam00rParticipantThis years Renault-lotus.
18th August 2011, 20:46 at 8:46 pm #176566matt90ParticipantThe Mazda 787B is sometimes quoted as the best sounding race car ever.
19th August 2011, 2:09 at 2:09 am #176567ob1kenobi.23ParticipantKingshark, could not agree more, it raises the hair on the back of my neck. It sounds of pure violence hurling driver & car along the track at warp speed.
Tried to use it as my ring tone but the wife would’nt go out with me.
19th August 2011, 6:58 at 6:58 am #176568AndrewTannerParticipantGood choice dam00r.
Personally I love the burnouts current F1 cars make, cuts right through you.
WRC engines sound aggressive as hell!
GT1 engines make for a nice reverberation around the chassis.
19th August 2011, 7:35 at 7:35 am #176569Dan ThornParticipantThe Matra V12 is incredible, sounded awesome reverberating off the trees at Goodwood this year. The 787B is incredible as well, and the old Renault V10’s were charming.
The best sound in my opinion however comes from the old flat 12 Ferrari. Filming this was possibly the best and most exciting 5 minutes of my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW35ttYoDbQ
19th August 2011, 9:42 at 9:42 am #176570James_mcParticipantEugh that Flat-12 sounds bizarre! Not necessarily awful, but odd; although I suspect that is to do with the sound being too much for the mike on your camera!!
Yes I agree that the BMW V-10 sounds brilliant, I especially love the birds twittering when the car isn’t in earshot haha
I quite liked the sound of the current Mercedes Engine when I saw it (heard) live in the flesh
19th August 2011, 9:55 at 9:55 am #176571IcthyesParticipantThat BMW is craaaaaaaaaaaaazy :-D
19th August 2011, 10:32 at 10:32 am #176572dam00rParticipantAndrewT. They are the best. The sound is actually nicer than a girls moaning.
WRC engines are fantastic. I would love to have one.
19th August 2011, 10:43 at 10:43 am #176573Dan ThornParticipantYeah the mic has distorted the sound slightly! My friend has some better footage but I haven’t managed to get hold of it yet.
This is an epic noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZMPDCNyQxE
And, outside of F1, this is a great sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wrLj_HlYEo
This, however, is probably my favourite engine noise ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hRybKOEwqI
But then, there’s this noise! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkYvy0ocMts
And this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S_VGgsUrxA&feature=related
AND THIS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTG6N3lSaTw
Whoops. Embarassingly, this isn’t the first time those sounds have made me wet myself this year. Be right back.
19th August 2011, 13:58 at 1:58 pm #176574TommyBParticipantThe BMW Williams sounded awesome.
I always love the bit when they are waiting on the grid and drop the clutch. That is my favourite noise in motor sport.
19th August 2011, 16:29 at 4:29 pm #176575DamionShadowsParticipantSitting 3 feet from the exhaust of a Ford GT’s 5.0 Liter Roush Racing engine with no ear plugs is a hell of a sound, but as I haven’t yet been to a F1 race I would have to say the GT2 Corvette is the best sounding car i’ve ever heard.
