This is what I think is cool sit back, turn it up, and enjoy!

Renault Turbo 1976, what's the high pitched the sound?

I got to hear the Ligier V-12's run at Long Beach one year when they revived the engine (between running Cosworths and before the Turbo era for Ligier). The sound was incredible. Musical and borderline painful. It was wonderful!

High-pitched whistle from the Renault Turbo was, I think, some sort of bypass thing that helped reduce turbo lag to some degree.

That was the Real F1!!!

Yeah, I thought some of you might like them, the real era in F1. I have some great US GP videos but need to find some

I love this video, Brabham BT46 at Zolder one of my favorite tracks

That first vidoeo of the Matra reminds me of Mr. Ferrari once said "there is a music in the noise", how true.

There are lots of great sounding engines out there but here is my fave!

The Renault whistle could be the pop-off valve but I vote for the brakes.

Ohhhh yes, Lotus and BRM, oh yeah, probably one of the greatest combos. I think i'd pick that over a Ferrari F1 V12 or the Cosworth V8 maybe.

I posted a BRM video in my first post, pretty much the same.
