ALMS 2011 - Petit Le Mans Testing

[Nukem962001]

I was there...I always love Petit

[Nukem962001]

@Nukem962001 Well not testing

[edd55r]

The sound of some of those cars is better than music the Aston screaming like an f1 car and the chevy V8s

[dirtracercole7]

The sound of that Aston never gets old...

[sashaman1234]

Btw, you think the vettes are loud?  In the support race the day previous to Petit Le Mans, there was the Pirelli Sponsored Cadillac race. It was a bunch of vettes, civics, golfs, volvos, few porsches and one CTS-V race car, however, that CTS-V race car made the Corvettes sound like golfs. It was sooo loud it actually started to hurt my ears lol

It was just like 'vvvvvvvvvvvvBRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM­M'. Such a nasty exhaust note.

[sashaman1234]

This whets my appetite, but the actual race made me full ;)

[zek686jes]

WOW!!!!!! :O The R18 is awesome.

[fapsqpz]

sweet !

[vivaSchumi7]

AUDI!!!!!! :D

[andrewwaltonsmith]

Awesome i cant wait for the race to start :)

[ndsubisonfan]

Good god those vettes sound FIERCE

[RTic83]

Pagani shouldve did LMP1.

[RTic83]

I agree

[PTKilowatt]

THIS is what racing should sound like! Different engines make different noises, and when they get together it really does sound like a battle rather than a cacophony of the same engine.

[EliteGuard01]

How is thisIPetit Le Mans if it has all the Pro Le Mans cars racing? I was expecting weaker cars like Honda Civics and the like to be racing. The kind of cars you don't see in the Pro Le Mans races, racing on the Le Mans tracks.

[DerekDignan24]

@EliteGuard01 Well, it's just the same thing. Petit Le Mans is just a shortened version of the 24 hours of le mans, because petit means short you know? So this is a 10 hour/1000 mile race vs. Le Mans 24 Hours, but they both run under the same format and rules.

[SpeedFreakNO]

The sounds.. They are orgasmic! \o/

[a7racing]

The Aston martin is the best sounding race car ever!!!

[nathanuc1988]

lawdy that vette sounds sexy

[cagriffin101]

Ohmygoodness, That Corvette sounds nasty! (in a good way) lol

[slicksidviscousCH]

sigh, do wish I was going again this year!

[outlawsonic]

i love watching those prototypes charge down the hill at stupid looking speed

[carsismeZ06]

Good God, I wish there was a way to bottle the sound of that 5.5 liter V8 in the Corvette. I'd get drunk daily.

[DZoneTV]

The sound of the Aston's V12 was amazing.

[vought19]

Vette sounds better than dubstep

[rikwatson200]

what a soundtrack! So glad it wasnt ruined with stupid music. That Corvette sounds absolutley brutal.

[thepiuma]

dat ferrari sound...

[ttfan33]

Great sound!!! 

[cptcreedbratton]

The corvettes appeal to my primal instincts

[WayfstrthnU]

The guys at Aston Martin prove once more that gas V12s > diesels

[elequenne]

@WayfstrthnU Could not have said better! If we could just forget the new Le Mans meaningless regulations and keep the V12!...This is Racing, not politics! That's why AMR brought this baby back as the new LMP1 (Six cylinders only is not ready..) Go Aston and good luck at Petit Le Mans!

[GeneralRushHour]

M Power.

[ShiftUpAGear]

It does, shame there's no live streaming, but hey what you gonna do.

[cragmac1000]

Audi has got to find a way to give that V6 diesel an exhaust note.

[bb3xhrhj]

@cragmac1000 There's a reason for the quiet car.. sound = power. power, that ain't gonna make the car go faster / have better mileage

[ShiftUpAGear]

@cragmac1000 Agreed, the Peugeot you can hear coming, but the Audi is like a ninja, absurdly silent.

[tripleheshy]

@cragmac1000 Thought the same thing. Damn thing may as well be electric.

[triplexxxsatyr]

That Corvette V8 is the meanest.

Go Corvette Racing!

[maxilos1987]

ill really miss that Aston V12 when it stops racing such a lovely noise

[MNachtigal]

R18, best looking P1 car. Aston Martin, Best sounding! 908... le sigh :P
