Only a few loud people complain about it. And they're are getting less, as old people who can only imagine racing with noise, die out.Vappy wrote: ↑30 Jun 2024, 18:22Well yes, it does sound like the current F1 cars as it revs up because it's the ferrari F1 engine. However, the one in the video revs higher than the currently used ones, and the higher pitched sound that many fans enjoy from previous engine eras comes through. I agree that good racing and technological improvements are important, but saying that extra noise is not a factor to be considered is obtuse, bearing in mind that one of the main criticism's of current F1 is the reduction in noise and quality of that engine sound. It's gotten more appreciation, but F1 is a spectacle, and engine sound has historically gone hand in hand with it. This isn't formula e.mzso wrote: ↑30 Jun 2024, 17:34I fail to see why extra noise should be a factor.Vappy wrote: ↑30 Jun 2024, 13:12Perhaps it doesn't have to be something different than what we've already had previously. The sound spectacle has taken a back seat in the current formula, and it has once more taken a back seat for 2026. With the fuel flow rate limiting RPM to give or take 12,500PM, how can any formula sound intense, electrifying and thoroughly vibrate your body with such a restriction? Look at the leaked 2014 ferrari F1 engine sound that was effectively their engine in a road car, which rev'd way, way above 12,500RPM. The scream was very, very nice, and made all the characteristic noises of the early 2014 V6 engines.

Excitement should be delivered by racing, and technological marvel.
And I don't think that video supports you. As it revs up it sounds like an current F1 car at rather low pace.
