Could be yes, I assumed Bernie and Monte were standing track side discussing the sound.
my mistake sorry,
thanks,

F1 will see a complete change in engine regulations in 2014, and we're having a closer look at what that means exactly
I was under the impression that cylinder amounts are linked sort of.jamsbong wrote:Why cant they make the v6 turbo sound like the insane Audi quattro? That car's engine has the craziest sound i've ever heard. The blown off valve whistle, thunder crackling exhaust, angry L5, turbo hissing just gets everyones attention.
Mercedes were further along than the ferrari in their engine development. They were doing dyno tests in 2011, the next logical step is to test at a track.WilliamsF1 wrote:What is the point of a track test at this stage?
What matters even more is the design of the exhaust system. F1 will be using mono turbos which will pipe the sound of all cylinders into one tail pipe. It is going to increase the effective frequency compared to the V8s. The V8s had only 4 cylinders feeding one tailpipe. The V6s will have all six feeding one tail pipe. Effectively the engine sound will have the same frequency as the higher revving V8s had.Nando wrote:I was under the impression that cylinder amounts are linked sort of.
5 or 10 cylinders
6 or 12 cylinders
8 or 16 cylinders
as far as sounding close to each other. (obviously a 5 or 10 cylinder will sound different but because it´s essentially 2 5 cylinders merged it will share the same traits in the sound)
I did the math for 12,000 rpm and it is still slightly higher in frequency.Nando wrote:Even when the proposed rev limit* will be some 6000 revs lower? (i think Renault said in the article they will probably run at around 12 instead of the maximum 15)
*teams own limit
this seems to be saying that the early BRM 1.5 litre V8 (8 tailpipes) should have sounded vastly different to the same engine (later) fitted with 2 tailpipesWhiteBlue wrote: What matters even more is the design of the exhaust system.

it did not sound vastly different
