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.
