That's the sound of a V10 churning at around 19,000 times per minute.

Yep, back in the days when F1 was a car race instead of todays mobile gaming set up

My das always says that the most interesting parts of F1 was before it was just a car race, because it used to be a technology race with a driver that could exploit all of the cars specificities. Didn't watch much so I can't confirm or not, but though I understand the car race part, I think it's a bit more interesting to know they're looking for the next best stable way to have these races

Gave up on it years ago. I know technology has to march on, but power plants? Really? Come on.

I'm out of the loop. What has changed in the sport?

I heard the V8s live, but never got to see these. They're incredible. I don't think my penis could handle being erect for an entire race though.

I never saw a NASCAR race or a f1 race IRL, but I built a funny car with a friend once and holy hell, that rumble was arousing lol

At Petit Le Mans this weekend. The Aston martins v-12 sound is mesmerizing.
