Scroll down and open the BRM sound files & set the volume to LOUD!


There now, wasn't that good :lol:

it's surprising the noise a 1500cc supercharged V16 can make (that can spin the rear wheels at over 150MPH!!)

mmgemini:
V 16 ???
I always understood it was an H 16 Any comment there ??

It was also a lot quieter than I expected. I was comparing it with a Matra V12 3 litre F1 car which hurt your ears more than a Frerrari V12 F1.

NeilWilson:
This brings back memories, I also have a CD somewhere of F1 sounds.  Some years ago through family & work connections I used to get pit passes for the F1 GPs at Silverstone & Brand Hatch.  It always struck me that the TV coverage does nothing to convey the fury in the sound of these engines close up.  One of my other great memories/sounds are the Silk Cut Jaguars at Le Mans coming out of Tertre Rouge & flooring up the Mulsanne (before they emasculated it with those chichanes) - a glorious deep V12 roar.

No it's definately a V. I've got a cutaway drawing somewhere in a copy of (possibly?) 'Car'
