0:26 the fact you can hear the air being obstructed by the wall goes to show how damn clean your audio recording is, its insane

[@_hanz73]

How do you record the audio so cleanly without any wind noise??? It's so crisp too!

[@fijentrocchia]

As good as we hear the intake noise, I’d say there’s a mic very close to the throttle bodies, unrelated to the camera position

[@weaselman24]

His mic would be under the cowling in the engine compartment somewhere.

[@patrickDK13]

@@weaselman24 maybe but you can also hear very clearly the brake squeak in each corner( of the car)

[@grzZzesiek]

you really think he will tell you this? :D

[@scromberprofessionalautist1017]

​@@patrickDK13 Probably just multiple mics that he syncs and cleans up in editing. Considering the production value of his filming and the sound quality I would say he's definitely capable.

[@WooderIceJawn]

This is by far my favorite racing content on the entire Internet, thank you so much for what you do, it's truly incredible.

[@gliderfs621]

These cars must race, they should not be only pieces of museums. Glad to see them rolling !

[@joshjackburns]

Your videos literally look like they’re filmed for a high budget racing movie. You’re incredible bro !

[@BradfordtheEclectic]

This is one of the best, raw in-your-face, in-your-ear F1 in-car videos I've ever seen. The fact that it's from the first car with ground effects and sports the classic Ford-Cosworth DFV makes it truly special.

[@julien7206]

Awesome petrolhead moment ! What a sound !! Unfortunately, today's F1 don't give you that kind of goosebumps... Many thanks for this thrilling vid. Keep going !

[@nabilkamal5394]

If Alonso puts it on pole today I will get goosebumps for sure 😂

[@matthewgallant3622]

Idk man watching Leclerc hunting down Verstappen last Sunday was pretty exciting. The POV videos in those machines is wild.

[@jamieteal2107]

Well said julien 7206 what a beast this car is 👍🇦🇺

[@iunnox666]

Absolutely. I watched a video of historic F1 racing, it was way more exciting than anything else I've seen in F1, and it wasn't even a grand prix.

[@SweetSpot909]

this is the ONLY channel that give you a feel for the actual dynamics and thrill of being in that car.

[@Mr_Eyeholes]

CHILLS! The sound, manual shifting, the control! So glad I listened on my home stereo 👍

[@dallas_barr]

If only the current F1 onboards were this good ! IMO this is the best camera angle for onboards and the sound is the cherry on top !

[@matthewgallant3622]

Wow the sound! Hearing that V8 scream just give you chills

[@bearcatracing007]

Another hour of this would be heaven

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

Very smooth driving. Car stays balanced with no drama.

[@nistabezvegete]

The best onboard footage since Grand Prix 1966. Phenomenal stuff! Bonus points for the fantastic audio 👌🏻

[@super_perez_RPP]

man i love those mid 70s early 80s era cars this video quality is amaizing one day this camera needs to find its way in one of the late 70s brabhams

[@buddini2648]

Can't hate the sound of good ol' cosworth v8

[@britishbastard6561]

The cozzah

[@alexstaples9642]

Mad of respect for the driver 👏💪

[@buhwhatidk]

The camera angle is so damn good, just like the old onboards

[@M.ARSEVEN]

So lucky to drive such a legendary car on a legendary track.

[@TheUsmc0802]

That’s more exciting to watch than an entire 2023 race! Please post more of this beast of a machine and driver!

[@mchristr]

Glorious, simply glorious. I always tense up when the car flies up Eau Rouge. Fantastic sound and audio!

[@Hoodsonbr]

This is the best onboard footage I've ever seen.

[@DariusZockt]

[@excclam6361]

I live for moments like these

[@farr1260]

There is no way that an e car or motorcycle will ever move the soul like the sound coming from a high performance car or motorcycle.

[@efostefanow]

Absolutely amazing, I love your videos !

[@casefc3s]

My guy... thank you for all you do! Hope to see your channel explode and get all the YT monies you deserve :)

[@EuropaSman]

I think the quote in the description "The Lotus 87 was the first Lotus F1 car to be built from Carbon Fibre" is incorrect. The twin chassis Type 88 was the first Team lotus Formula One car to be constructed from composite materials (both carbon fibre and kevlar) and preceded the Type 87. The Type 87 was in effect Colin Chapman's "insurance policy" and used the Type 88's monocoque tub. I understand that during the 1981 British Grands Prix weekend that after practice the Type 88 was subsequently banned for the race so overnight those chassis were rebuilt to Type 87 specification for qualifying. Two Type 88s survive and there were a total of four Type 87 chassis constructed I believe; 87/2, 87/3, 87/4 & 87/5.

[@Louzahsol]

[@CarmineRock97]

I hope you get the opportunity to record some onboard of old CART (now Indycar) from 90s (or 2000 - 2002), just to hear loud and clear the V8 engine of that era. I really hope so
