NASCAR Fan Blown Away by F1 V10 Era Testing Sessions (BEST SOUNDS)

[@milanbujna2957]

These engines revved up to 20.000 rpm, even up to 21.000 rpm in test laboratories. This was truly the golden era of sound in F1 IMO.

[@tovinikgroz868]

Good old times , excelent drivers great teams and screaming engines. Bring that back !!!!!!! Greetings from Slovenija and have a nice evening.

[@arturotoscanini3833]

In 2002 I was at the first Lesmo curve in Monza with hearing protection, the F1 cars were passing 10 meters away from us. I had a ringing in my ears for two days!

[@tolstoyed]

my first was imola 1994, and i remember walking up to the circuit, hearing those cars in the distance, i was like ‘is it a good idea to go that close to the fence?’. then when the cars would go by, you could feel the ground tremble hah

[@Muranounet]

Yeah, I was in Magny-Cours for 2003 France GP, right before Adelaide braking zone, their sound was WILD.

[@gubocci]

I am so fucking jealous.

[@rockytekkel406]

the V10 engines were brutal

[@heikkipiippo5603]

and imagine 20+ of these revving in the start line at the same time.. I've been in couple of races in this v10 era and it was jaw dropping

[@jackdaw1328]

Check out a Lewis Hamilton interview at Abu Dhabi, while Alonso is testing his old Renault. The look on Lewis's face makes you realise, it's not just the fans who love the sound.

At old (longer) track, Hockenheim Germany, the F1 cars "fly" with 350 km/h through a forest. It was an incredible noise. Flames shot out the excaustsystem by shifting down. 🔥

[@MidnightCaller1000]

F1 V10 its the best time in F1 history!!

[@RotesKleid411]

When you see these cars live on the racetrack, racing at full speed towards a bend and you think, he has to brake now, but he keeps going, then shifts down three gears in 0.5 seconds and sweeps through the bend as if on rails, you think he won't make it, but it all happens so quickly that he's already two bends further on. It really is incomprehensible

[@sticklebrick2003]

I've been watching F1 since the early 80s and I can tell you you've missed out on a lot mate! Number one thing that most F1 fans will agree on, is you missed the absolute pleasure of watching on tv with Murray Walker commentary, with all his hilarious "Murray-isms" 😄 F1 has never been the same without him.

Funny story: I was doing some promotion work in my youth at Brands Hatch . . just walking around in not many clothes lollll A photographer asked if i could lie across a bonnet of one of the F1. I wiggled my way on but the heel of my stiletto shoe (we were all told to wear them) went right through the fibreglass body. These raceways in the 70's and 80's had a smell about them too, not sure if the smell is the same now. I used to go to Hendsford raceway in the UK a lot.

The first time i've seen F1, i think it was in 1996, i was 15teen. It was at Magny-cours at the Renault Days. It was a meeting with a lot of races only with Renault cars. At the middle of the day betweens 2 races of Clio cup, 2 F1 a Williams and a Benetton (with V10 Renault) take the track. It was incredible we could heard them from kilometers away and when she arrives in strait line we could feel the vibrations in our body. Just with 2 cars, imagine with 20 !!! Sorry for my bad english

[@bruh_man1411]

Dont know if you could tell but the tyres were grooved in attempt to reduce speed as these cars were considered too fast. Imagine them with modern slicks.

[@frankiefitzy8960]

I was at the British GP in 1996 at Bridge Corner and at the start when they were waiting for the light to turn green not only could you hear the engines crying to be unleashed but you could feel the ground vibrating it was awesome

[@w0033944]

I was there on the Friday that year!

[@DanielPaast]

I remember the first time I went to Spielberg GP with my brother. We had the cheapest tickets there were, so we stood on the opposite side of the main straight and the boxes about 1 km away. We had fun and enjoyed the program when, unexpectedly, the first team fired its engine to warm it up. My brother and I looked at each other in complete disbelief, with a silent WTF on our lips. Sound you hear, that roar you felt more than you heard it. We discussed in all seriousness how we could survive 15 of them at the same time, right under our noses. Half jokingly, we wondered how we were going to keep our pants clean.💩💩 It was a great day.

[@googleaccount4159]

I’ve been watching F1 since the late 80’s and yeah the cars aren’t as small or loud as they used to be, but I still love the sport.

[@CapitanoAraym]

You didn't hear only the sound of F1 V10s: you felt it through the entirety of your body.

[@hanssrensen3641]

We can only miss those noises! Its crazy on video, irl was INSANE! You can/could feel them, absolute fantastic experience!

[@davidbroughton1088]

I grew up in Crowthorne, Berkshire (UK), about a mile from the TRRL. They tested the odd F1 car there and the sound from a mile away was amazing. That distinctive squeal was great to hear.

[@adven999]

That first corner you see at Silverstone is 'Bridge'....no longer used on the circuit, but back in the day it was taken at over 160 mph in an F1 car...!

[@Aotearas]

As someone who as a kid for a long time watched F1 together with my father, seeing some of those names seems surreal to me.

[@Crackalacking_Z]

My driving instructor used to be rally driver. He had buddies in racing circles and always had fun stories to tell while I did my practical driving lessons. He was hanging out at the pits, when they first tested carbon-ceramic breaks in the 80s. They got so hot, the pit crew fumbled a replacement, dropped them and they melted a couplethree inch into the asphalt.

[@SecurityDivision]

That sound instantly brings me back to the childhood, lazy summers, me watching the races on TV at my grandparents and Shumi winning everytime :)

[@mikebrace895]

I've been to Silverstone many times to watch F1 and the V10's were just something else! On lap 1 of the race when all the cars are together, it's more than just a sound... it feels like an earthquake. The noise is received through all of your bones and teeth... not just your ears. You feel it through your whole body! They were great times ❤

[@Toad666]

Im so glad I live right next to Hockenheimring ever since i was born. Got to hear all the F1 cars from my windows at home, and always rode my bike through the woods to get there. I remember these engines screaming at me hearing their echo kilometers away. I could name every F1 driver at 2 years old just by seeing their helmet driving by at the old Hockenheimring

[@Ron-ei5eh]

If you were there, you are not only hear them coming long before...you feel the vibrations in your gut! Whole body is reacting....it was awsome!

[@AussieDave69]

Love it i also love the sound of the crazy twin turbo 1500 cc v6 engines pumping out 1200 hp i was in Adelaide one year walking across a bridge when a Renault exploded underneath us ive never heard a bang like it

[@Peinfull87]

I remember back in 2007 in Jerez on some tests, the cars were all mostly full matte black and you could feel them going through the gears in your gut, even when they were like 1km away.

[@VX_Zero]

Screaming of engines sound is just one aspect of it,what was more memorable for me watching it live back in the day was sound of engine when gear change. Deep bass, explosion like, hard to explain, it has to be experienced. Recorded sound doesn’t do it justice.

[@nekite1]

Nice one. I've been watching F1 since 1977 and I agree that the V10 engines sounded absolutely insane. Those Banshee howls certainly sent a shiver down your spine.

[@thorstenstuker9044]

I was a huge F1 fan during the Schumacher era. I visited some races, for example Monaco and Imola (Italy). The cars were so loud you had to wear ear protection, and they all sounded awesome. Today I couldn‘t care less about F1, everything feels so synthtic with the F1 cars nowadays. Now I‘m more into 24hr races like in Les Mans or at Nürburgring

[@phillipbailey70]

Great reaction thanks - pretty sure I got free ear-defenders a few times at Silverstone before the hybrid era

[@calibrax]

The first F1 race I went to was the Belgian Grand Prix 1996 at Spa Francorchamps. We arrived during Friday practice and the sounds were awesome and seriously loud, so we parked up. Then we realised we had actually parked about 3 miles from the circuit - we thought it was just a few hundred yards from where we parked because it was so loud!

[@soapmcsoapface1787]

partly too young and partly not having any races really closeby to go to or parents really interested in the sport to have seen these cars race, but I do remember watching them on tv. I have seen and heard v10 era cars on show laps in person and even then they sound wild.

[@mikeanderson2730]

Fun fact: This sound is actually made by a special sounding exhaust. Test has shown that with the same exhaust system, most engines (high revving) can make similar sounds. But the v10, to no surprise, does it best.

[@richardhargrave6082]

Having been to the British Grand Prix at the time, its massively louder than on video. And that's one car on its own. Then the pack goes past and the ground shakes! They look very difficult to drive, makes it more exciting Great times

[@NiclasHorn]

i can say, then i was at A1-Ring 2003 you FELT the sound in your chest around the entire track.

[@Tom-Lahaye]

At the end some clips from Spa-Franchorchamps in Belgium, I was one time about 6 or 7 miles from the circuit on a campsite, you could still hear the cars scream loudly, not just in the distance.

[@halofreak1990]

Fun fact: these engines actually start out as a single-cylinder prototype, which is then iterated upon to achieve a certain performance level, say, 90HP out of 300cc. Apparently, this scales near perfectly, so this 90HP single-cylinder engine can end up as a 900HP 3L V10 by just adding the remaining 9 cylinders in a V-shape, or a 720HP 2.4L V8 by adding 7 more cylinders, etc.

[@kanalnamn]

I found the on-boards with the rev counter included in the picture most fascinating back then. That BMW engine that revved all the way to 22000 rpm. (That might have been the 2.4L V8 of 2006-2008)

[@EdHammans-im3gl]

So that first clip at Silverstone was one of the best places to experience the noise. The outside of bridge corner. Sat there for the gp in 2000 and 2001, but popped down there at least once every year between 1998 and 2010. I think 2000 and 2001 were the best sounding; 20,000 rpm with no traction control.

[@elmurcis1]

As kid I grew up exactly through this era (watched every race from 1998 to 2006 (many later but not as "glued") and even now I can't go away from it through video games - I must have race or two per week just for vibe. And engines themselves were built so tight that you couldn't turn them cold - had to be pre-heated so block would expand a bit giving room for cylinders to slide

[@amduser86]

the first turbo era had the craziest engines. even the v10 era can not compete.

[@cybercat1531]

The Honda V10 (RA Series) shown is to this day still one of the most powerful engines fielded in F1 A 3.5 Liter with up to 746kW output in just ~150Kg engine weight. Not one of the most reliable engines, but by far the most brutal

[@jeanm27]

That down shifting sounded so violent! 1993 - till before V8s was the best!

[@paulocarvalho6480]

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

I've never had the pleasure of seeing these monsters live during a race, but i've seen a few at showcase events and it can't be compared to anything the humankind has ever developed. Your mind simply can't comprehend the fact that all of this astonishing sound is simply a byproduct of the greatest ever engineering. It sounds both etherieal and evil. People who never heard these live compare them to superbikes, but the sound has nothing in common. It is orders of magnitude louder than any bike. You don't simply hear it, you feel it with your entire body. And it's not clean and synthetic. It has a rasp to it, an underlying note that makes it unique. Even when you stand next to a car of that era from 2004 or 2005 and it's not running it stil ldoesn't look ma-made, it looks like alien technology and it certainly sounds like one. The new generations... what can i say.. my Audi A6 estate sounds more exciting with the whine of its supercharger. When i stand to a modern F1 car i don't get the feel that we reversed engineered an alien technology like i did with the V10 era monsters. Because they are now so big, the modern cars to me look like dressed up Toyota Priuses.

Check out some POV laps at the isle of man tt if you havent before too btw.

[@MickeyStartraveller]

You can still hear some of these IRL if you're lucky! Check out Ferrari's "Corse Clienti" calendar, you may find some events close to you. Old Ferrari racecars being driven by their current owners around different racetracks. I've been to one, and you're right, it's impossible to forget.

[@Avfc-m4w]

Been watching F1 40years hoping for a few more.

[@sevenfifteen]

A lot of the sound - and many ignore it - is actuallly due to the insane rpm of that era. In 2005, the last V10 season, the engine reved up to 20,000 rpm! Since 2014, this is limited to 15,000 rpm, which makes a big difference to the engine sound. Today's engine technology would allow to safely go up to 23,000 rpm. I wonder what that would sound like?

[@juige3663]

The F1 v10 and v8 era is the only reason why i wish i would be older. So i could have heard more of them lol.

[@anthonyduffy6953]

The sound them v10s made was insane. It actually hurt your ears and chest. The v8s had that aswell but the v10s were crazy. The v6s are sound better in oerson than the do on tv, but theyre still lave compared to what weve had in the past

[@TheRCScotsman]

[@CapitanoAraym]

The second video (Honda F1) should be the Twin Ring Motegi circuit in Japan: it as a "speedway" (the oval-alike one used here) that has overpasses on the "street circuit" (from that the "Twin Ring"). You kind see one of the overpass in the final stretch of the opposed straight, when the "speedway" pass over the "street circuit" (the other one is less visible in the footage, half way on the first long corner) More used actually by the MotoGP bikes (and alike) than F1, I can kind tell by the years I played it on the Playstation's Gran Turismo games serie. Suzuka one, by the way, does not have any "oval" facility.

[@TheLassenman]

Yeah Monaco is 1 of the hardest tracks to even pass another car. Very easy to crash out. But the V12 is also crazy sounding formula 1 engine :)

I would suggest listening to F1 V12s too, especially the very last V12 ever in F1 from 1995, only used by Ferrari. Those scream your ear off. Also a crazy watch is Renault playing god save the queen with their engine

[@Dawwwg]

It's not just the sound; there were way smaller and couple hundreds of kilo's lighter too; making battles on track way easier. And yes, compared to these V10s and also the V12s, the newer ones sound like vacuum-cleaners. For example, even the Porsche Super Cup (commonly part of the pre-programme of race weekends) are (significantly) *louder* than the current day F3, F2 and F1 cars ...

I knew everything about all the drivers (pilots). But then I also witnessed too many accidents and deaths. I stopped watching before Schuhmacher even got to the top.

[@MrReese]

12:11 It has to be said that there is a difference between a racing team (Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, etc.) and an engine manufacturer (Honda, for example). Some teams make their own engines (Ferrari and Mercedes, for example) and some buy engines from other manufacturers. For example, I am not sure whether McLaren actually ever had their own engines. They have been using Mercedes engines for 25+ years now and before that they used Honda engines in the early 90s and late 80s.

[@burnrubber7547]

I was lucky enough to be in my early 20s in the v10 era. I when to a few races, but i also went to the goodwood festival of speed a lot. And i can tell you, nothing on earth sounds like those v10s. The melodic screams with the base thumping down shifts is glorious to behold. Every engine since they stopped v10s has progressively annoyed me more and more, because nothing comes close to the thrill and sheer power you feel of the v10. Thats my experience and i stand by it. And yes i have heard v12s, v8s and the latest v6s. The latter sounds like total junk.
