Went to Monza in 2006 and again in 2009. In ‘06 there were still some V10s running, and the V8s were allowed to rev to 22,000 rpm. Sounds were insane. Hard to believe but those small cid engines blasted out acoustic pressure waves that would kind of thump your chest way up in the stands on upshifts. In 2009 they were restricted to like 18,000 rpm IIRC, to get more races per engine.
You guys ever hear the BRM supercharged 1.5L V16?
Pretty sure it was the RPM's. 22-23K is insane. The displacement is low, because the stroke is.Nothing on earth sounds as good to me as a proper NA v12 but the F1 v10 era is just something else.

V10 sounds like a bunch of demons coming to steal your soul. V6 sounds like a wet queef.
