The off-throttle blown diffuser is my favorite motoring sound.

I don’t like it. computer controlled pneumatic valves are awesome when used for 22k rev limits and using your F1 motor to cover songs. but i’d rather hear the natural sounds of downshifting.

Beyond just the sound, there’s the fact that it was innovative and effective at planting those cars to the tarmac on slow, tight corners.

People act as though the cars are silent. They’re not. They sound like actual racing cars for once. If you actually worked around F1 back in the V10 days, the novelty of a deafening flat squeal wore off after 5 minutes. The V6s have a lovely throaty sound.

They aren’t as dramatic, but it’s a Godsend for everyone who works in the paddock. I love deep, throaty engine sounds.

and that’s the key word, work. Anything at work gets annoying quick. Heck, I could work for a supermodel firm and gets annoyed with the hot stuck up girl’s chit chat gossiping enough drive me to quit lol :]

The braking looks great in this video, it’s amazing how f1 cars stop. My biggest complain in F1 Tv transmissions is that they fail to give the sense of speed and g forces, they need to work on the camera angles and positions around the track.

That sounds so angry, and also like there’s something metallic left in the dryer. It’s interesting how different it is from TV
