The 96' F1 game had already featured Murray's sensational commentary. His high pitched voice is as missed these days as the high pitched V10 engines.

I wouldnt say the engines are missed at all.... these new turbo hybrids outperfrom them on a cc basis.... and if you just want something loud and dont care about anything else, just turn on you vacuum when watching f1

[@rubberonasphalt]

@@ChrisDied I can tell you're not a car guy. Its not just about "huh duh... car go VRROOOM!". The V10 sound is missed coz of its tone and raw aggressive feel. At the track, you could feel the vibrations through your body. Everyone knows todays cars are faster, but its the character of those older engines that are missed. Its also why we like classic muscle cars, over a Tesla. Teslas are faster, but a v8 sounds better

Murray was the voice for a generation, dont often wish I was born in a different decade but to have been alive in the early to mid 90s to experience Murray and Hunt, then whats his name and finally Brundle would've been awesome. I think Martin Brundle is to us what Murray was to the older F1 fans, when I think of F1 I think of Brundle & James Allen/Coulthard loosing their minds of Mika over taking Micheal at Spa in 2000 on a drying track while approaching backmarkers or Vettel & Alonso slugging it out at Monza all while Brundle is commentating and letting his love for motorsport shine through the entire time.
