How the Formula 1 Blown Exhausts Sound Like - F1 2011

[Psalm6969]

In some cases the sound is similar to the gritty traction control noise of a few years ago

[ScuderiaGiancarlo]

Bellissimo !!

[sawyerbobby]

It makes them sound like trucks while using Jacobs Break

[HawkZachary]

That T-128(Team Lotus) EBD sounds awesome than the other ;D

[RB26DETTspecV]

The flow of exhaust gasses coming out of the pipe is disrupted by the diffuser and forced around it. Try holding a piece of paper so that the thin side is close to your mouth and blow on it fast.

[asshatnowhere159]

why does it sound like this? i kind of know how the blown exaust works but i dont know why it produces this sound

[MovieMan797]

the sounds of the latest f1 cars are so fucked up, is mis the old sound :(

[LoserMcBeaver]

Eargasm! Nuff said. I was at the Singapore track and one of the tightest turn, you can hear this amazing sound!

[Patronius1206]

That sound is aweful, a race car should not sound like that, gladly they banned it for 2012 :-)

[kenzos11]

Excelente sonido y buen video.!!

[LoserMcBeaver]

You can see the difference in breaking time between that Virgin car and the second RBR. That defines who's first and who's last.

[danalves]

i just watched a video of this year's cars and i gotta say, although they sound incredible, i think im gonna miss the BD sound. What track was this on anyway? i watched this video about 10 times already and dont get tired of watching. great job.

[19Bozzy92]

@danalves Thanks a lot for the comment!

[Russki46]

@danalves: Monza if i'm correct.

[pizadavid]

@danalves It's Monza.

[TheEnemyac130above]

@danalves if your a formula 1 fan and u don't know this is monza your a disgrace to the sport

[tderias]

@TheEnemyac130above lol yea how he knows about blown diffusers and not Monza is beyond me xD

[ilija1976you]

@danalves this is at Monza.

[GeneralRacingXBL]

@danalves the track is Monza

[motorsport7177]

@danalves this is Monza. I got to make this race when i was studying abroad in italy last year and hearing the BD in person is a life changing experience :D

[grandmothersBible]

@danalves The first corner in monza, answering your question on what track it is

[TheEljay]

@danalves He didn't answer it in the respone but the track is Monza, in Italy.

[FosterZygote]

Living in the U.S. I never got to hear this live. Your video captures the sound of a very innovative engineering solution quite well. Thank you.

One unusual sound that I did get to hear in person was Adrian Newey's close set exhaust on the 2001 McLarens. The wail was almost like a gas turbine.

[19Bozzy92]

@FosterZygote No problem

[jubyvera662]

xool.

[lucid26]

The red bulls sound great.....

[NottinghamForest22]

I'm so glad these farting noises have gone.

[unwicked91]

Sounds like a tyre gun

[DaniloGouveia7]

@SmokerFace12 Since the first time i saw this video, i heard that and found curious and funny. LOL

[studmalik]

0-03 is the best!

[Marcus666Sund]

For everyone who thinks these cars sound good:

/watch?v=eMDdQgBI5Hw

Old times were the best!

[zzzingrol]

Saw the F1 cars at Indy. I just love the no ear plugs on the people in the stands, they are are going to have serous ringing in the ears for the next month. Sounds like an ice pick in the ear if you don't have ear plugs.

[TheGreatDimebag]

I must go before the 12k rpm v6's come about! Excellent vid, cheers alot!!!

[AccipeVitamOffers]

I'M JEALOUS !!!! you lucky motherf*cker :D ... i would kill to hear this live ...

[diegogpb]

IN MY OPINION, if you listen renault powered cars, the blowing system looks almost perfect, blowing continuously in deceleration. Mercedes powered ones are quite good to. BUT Ferrari's system seems to be the worst, it looks like it's blowing only a moment after you close the throttle.

[DobarDabar]

RIP blown diffusers and any technical innovation cause of stupid FIA regulations.

[mfendley]

I had the good fortune to listen to these for the weekend at Spa. Like nothing I've ever heard before. No camera/speaker combination I have come across has been able to reproduce the ferocity of the EBD sound - it's like machine gun fire. Incredibly loud, and resonates in your chest like bass at a nightclub. Something I'll never forget. I remember the Red Bulls being particularly distinctive, and the Ferraris more...meaty/grumbly.

[turtlehater2]

Ahh the sound of engineering.............too bad it's a terrible one.

[TheAirsoftmadman]

PURE ADRENALINE

[encinaj]

sounds like a jake brake

[Narutofan1000k]

NO matter how they sound, no matter what engine they have in them. F1 will ALWAYS be the masters of technology in racing...

[sonicgsxr750]

@Narutofan1000k almost

[TheEnemyac130above]

that sounds worse that traction control they sounded like they were clearing their throat i saw them live in aus last year

[MusicalAndTall]

I love the sound the blown diffusers make :)

[DaniloGouveia7]

1:36 is it a horn?

[19Bozzy92]

@DaniloGouveia7 ahah yes

[DaniloGouveia7]

@19Bozzy92 LOL. It seems like somebody wants to cross the track.

[metan0ll]

@19Bozzy92 yup, vettel horn hahahaahha

[SmokerFace12]

@DaniloGouveia7 Oh how the f.. can you hear that:P.. But nowi heared it 8 times i think it is a scooter:P

[Concordespeedbird]

They sound horrific! Just horrible! Much prefer them without EBD.

[fcvware]

which camera did you use ?

[19Bozzy92]

@fcvware Canon FS100

[formula1nh]

The Lotus (caterham) and the RB7's are the best blown diffuser sound makers !

[JonnyColdCorner]

sounds like they are killing there engines while downshifting

[TheBeni45]

OMG *.*

[gemini7Sky]

I miss Honda from F1, their engine's sounds were really unique.

[FarRightFred]

I wish you could hear the cars better on TV. They must be able to do something about that.

[ReLax232]

Man brilliant Vid's... but im sooooo happy next year this damn noise is gone...

[5ImPulse]

i love Red Bull's / Renaults Sound. Sounds like the car has a monster in it

[FarRightFred]

red bull sounds terrible. infact they all do but the red bull sounds worst.

and I am not having a dig at red bull btw!

[FPSyorkshire]

@FarRightFred red bull and renault

[kevinadamdarapai]

So different both Red Bull & Virgin.

[FarRightFred]

@kevinadamdarapai because the virgin had elf's blowing the diffuser.

[lada1547]

4 WTF??

:@

[mfroot]

I have been @ Hungaroring in 2011, and i was really shocked when i heard these crappy sounds the first time! I missed the clear backfires from former years (especially F1 V10s years ago), these unnatural misifires suck imho! But anyway, that's not what about this comment should be :D I would say thanks again for your awesome vids, with awesome TRUE SOUNDS! Thank you, and keep it on :) Cu @ Monza 2012

[murraymontgom]

Not like a bag of nails, and one Mr Brundle says......... haha

[AstonDBS90]

On the Red Bull its blown exhaust sounds like Adrian Newey having an Orgasm

[Tincho1552]

0:37 Mclaren le manda el DRS

[MyHydrazine]

Dude I signed in just to say a huge THANK YOU. You are the man! Awesome sounds. Too bad they banned EBD for next season. I am never going to hear this live. Thanks a ton. If you have more footage please upload it. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I want to listen to the Renaults. Red Bull is just awesome and awe inspiring.

[19Bozzy92]

@MyHydrazine eheh thanks for the comment!

[jabela16]

@MyHydrazine Renault blown exhaust sound /watch?v=uNyPTRWHCJ8

[FPSyorkshire]

@MyHydrazine when i went to my first grand prix at silverstone it was lucky that they had banned the EBD for that race because they sound horrible and i think that red bull will not dominate next season you watch

[Desdirodeabike]

@MyHydrazine Check out the vid on my channel. I have one too from Monza 2011.

[nathsgames]

@MyHydrazine Couldn't have said it better. Awesome video!

[Davetheravepow]

Cracking stuff! Cheers for the upload!

[19Bozzy92]

@Davetheravepow Thanks for the comment!

[fagi1977]

INCREDIBLE!!! I was in Nürburgring 2009, Spa 2009, Hockenheim 2010, Nürburgring 2011 and I´m going to be in Hockenheim 2012, but I never managed it to record the engine noise as it really is. I tried different cams, but it was impossible.

This is how the F1 sounds like. Lotus sounds really awesome this year. Thumbs up!!

[supercooled]

Couldn't hear it on the tele but damn, those RBR sound violent and almost demonic. I can understand why the other teams wanted to copy them. Clearly the work of Satan himself.

[bluemoonshinya]

Renault engine is very dirty sound.

[Finnishdude107]

Imagine 2004 V10 cars with that blown exhaust :)

[mightychozza]

Dude these sound amazing, sadly i didn't here them this year cause i went to the one race when they happened to be banned, bloody silverstone!

[stephen98841272]

THats monza raceway right?

[19Bozzy92]

@stephen98841272 Yes, you're right!

[jwasserz]

its kinda like a jake brake haha

[LiamStroudy09]

I wouldn't say that it's a horrible noise.. But I'm glad I won't be hearing any of that technical blargh at Silvie :D Any of you seen the leaked thing about Mercedes? Supposedly they've got an F-Duct sort of thing for the front wing / nose cone.

[MusicalAndTall]

I am going to the Australian GP in March. I won't get to hear the blown exhausts :(

[miles2057]

@MusicalAndTall I go to the Albert Park GP each year.

I'm up in the Brabham Stands at the end of the straight going into and out of turn 2.

Are you in a stand or general admission?

If you are in general admission AND you go on race day, I will tell you the BEST spot to watch the race next to being in a Grand Stand that costs over $500.00 for the 4 day event.Let me now where you think is a great spot or the spots you really like?

Cheers, thanks.

Oh,and Bozzy,I let everyone know about this vid!!!!

[MusicalAndTall]

@miles2057 I have a 4 day grandstand package brother. The best spot for general admission would be near waite stand, or near any hairpins :)

[mfroot]

@MusicalAndTall Be happy about it! the live-sound of the cars is hideous, imho! I heard them at Hungaroring '11

[MusicalAndTall]

@mfroot Are you retarded?

[mfroot]

@MusicalAndTall don't think, i'm just one of the few who don't like the sound of the actual F1 V8's.. I miss the clear sound of the V10's, aswell those of the V8's 2-3 years ago :-( And i know that this are not "unnatural misfires" (like i wrote) but a forced result of the opened throttle valve.. Anyhow, i don't like it, has nothing todo with being retarded, but thx ;)

[proximer217]

Where are the Renaults???Damn!! it's unreal, it's like someone pulling your heart away and it's right there at your mouth!! I miss the blown diffs..

[dheeraj2102]

Excellent video dude ! Not to sound rude, but what do you do? Are you a specialist F1 videographer by any chance?

Its simple awesome! Upload more such ones if you can :) Great job !

[19Bozzy92]

@dheeraj2102 Thanks! Well I'm only a car enthusiast and I'm quite lucky to live near a famous racetrack. When I'm there I take some videos of the cars and also I take some pictures. Nothing else ;)

[videoofmike]

Omg even lotus have it?

[wheelychecker]

Would like to have this sound in F1 2011!

[arnold4life476]

You can hear it the renualts are smooth, and the others so ruff sounding, thats because the redbulls blown diffusers work so well, because there is constent gases going to the diffuser

[piwanabongo]

Finally the sounds of some delicious backfires...that particular corner provides some superb backfires when they partially lift off. Please keep them coming.

[Infernalmoron]

The most beautiful sound in the world.

[formula1nh]

Fantastic video there my friend! :D Well done!!!

[pete2010f1]

Its the onboard ECU applying the throttle when the drivers are braking, it means that the air is moving over the rear diffuser in the braking zone giving the car more down force in the corner, increasing corner speed. Banned for next year though :)

[Sqwr]

@19Bozzy92

Hell yes you can be annoyed by this sound when you are on sitting on the 1st chicane in Monza.

I'm used to sit myself in Eau Rouge, no exhausts, full throttle. haha

[mike1128473]

love f1 car with renault engine its blown exhausts very nice.

[Gijzzzzzzzzz]

Compliments!

I wish my car would make that sound under braking.... :)

Still not sure how it works, is it throttle under braking or misfiring under engine braking?

Does that mean brake bias changes if the system fails?

Adrian Newey, could you help us out?

[stickman363]

listen to virgin blown exhaust and then to the redbull one XD

[RealPCGamers]

That 'peppering' of the accelerator as they brake, is that the car doing that or the drivers?

[CFster]

@RealPCGamers Car.

[FatalPeanut456]

that lotus sounds awful. great video though. :D

[AndrewDerekNugent]

Red Bull at the start sounding like a baby wailing.

Love these sounds

[kynigh]

They did the same sound while entering the pits in the Brazilian GP... I was right in front of the pit entry and as soon as that sound came I was like O.O'

[bp0819]

the red bull cars sounds like a drunk guy trying to motorboat a fat chick

[danalves]

I didnt see any of the Renaults drive by, but DUDE! they sound like they are about to break or something. Great video...cant wait for 2012! Def going to Canada, and hopefully Austin too.

[19Bozzy92]

@danalves Thank you so much!

[proximer217]

@19Bozzy92 It's an off throttle blown diffuser ..How'd you possibly open the throttle while braking?

[19Bozzy92]

@proximer217 I understand what you're meaning and it's absolutly right but I found this sentence "Teams blowing their diffusers rely on the throttle being open to keep airflow passing to the diffuser and increase the downforce on it" on a F1 website. ( When I uploaded the video I couldn't explain how the blown exhaust worked. I found something on the internet and I copied it). I correct it with something else.

[proximer217]

@19Bozzy92 Thanks for the reply :)What ya said is right when not under braking and while under braking the extreme engine map settings lets the hot gas exhausts through diffuser in corners, increasing downforce..

[gturner38]

@proximer217 The throttle stays at least 90% open at all times. Electronics adjust fuel injection and ignition to take away power while still igniting the exhaust gasses to maintain near constant air pressure coming out the exhaust. That intentional backfiring is what causes the flatulent sound.

[blondboyharrison]

@danalves This kind of Diffuser is banned from 2012 onwards m8

[ebradahusla]

I understand this system is there to blow gases when the driver is if the throttle, but would the system bleeping the throttle or whatever to blow the gasses make the engine push the car forward? Do the stellar brakes overcome the throttle and still slow down the car? Does the power disconnect or from the wheels or what? I'm confused.

[ebradahusla]

The Lotus at 0:53 is pure madness.

[MrMazzucca320]

I love the sound of the exhaust blown diffuser! i think the whole system is fascinating and interesting. The sport should encourage more competitive and innovative systems (F-duct, E.B.D etc) rather than ban them.

[rabihz24]

Dude i just stumbled on your videos...Man oh man, finaly someone knows how to shoot and catch the amazing engine sound of an F1...

Keep them coming friend...

[miles2057]

@rabihz24 I was thinking the same thing.

I live in Melbourne, Australia and I go to the Albert Park F1 GP and hearing this was like I was there again.

It sounded just like I was there.

Straight to faves for future reference. When I need a reminder of how great these cars sound.

I usually go to the Brabham Stand at turns 1 & 2 at the very end nearest the turn 2 exit so I'm nearest the big screen.

You might see me there in 2012, I'm usually in row D or the 4th from the very front at the very end.

[rabihz24]

@miles2057 Hi Miles,

I wish i can go to Australia and watch the Grand prix there...altho i go each year to the Montreal circuit which is 20 min drive from where i live.

Regards

[miles2057]

@rabihz24 Part 1- The Aussie GP is awesome.It's a short tram trip from the CBD,in fact it is pretty much in the city on a road circuit around the lake.

So the public can drive on the "track" all year round & it's great in the lead up & after the actual race with the grandstands & the sponsor signs,it's like you're in the F1 racing!

It's great cos u can hear the cars anywhere you are in the city & quite a way out in the suburbs too.

I think it's one of the best f1 locations & races ever. 2Bcont'd

[miles2057]

@miles2057 Part 2- It is a real shame that the current Victorian government (Melbourne is in the state of Victoria,Aust.) wants to get rid of the f1 gp after it's contract to host the race is up in 2015 due to financial "losses" which is rubbish.

They say that hosting the race costs tax payers well over 50 million dollars,up to 66 million.

Melbourne is the sporting capital of Australia & f1 brings SO MUCH revenue to the city & state with tourists & economy etc which is well in excess of 66 mil..

[19Bozzy92]

@rabihz24 Thanks a lot for your comment!

[EDYF1]

Espetacular!!!!

[cujootje]

It's something with the downforce in corners, the exhaust blows all the gasses underneeth*?* the car and when you brake you get that sort of sound..

Google or watch some vid's on YT, they'll give you a better explaination..

[ollie010222]

I've never heard the blown exhaust watching TV. Can someone tell me what they are for?

[ActiviztA1]

@ollie010222 it's for maintaining the airflow going through the diffusers when the cars slow down and/or brake.

diffusers = + downforce; higher air flow, higher downforce

braking/slow down = slower air flow going through the diffusers

but you obviously can't keep stepping on the throttle (to keep the exhaust gases going through the diffusers, and avoid losing downforce) if you want to decelerate, so they "pulse" it instead hence the abnormal sound of the engine during braking.

[Fuckdencio]

4 people are deaf..

[loetkoe27]

Very very nice! Did you get any footage of the Renault car?

[19Bozzy92]

@loetkoe27 Yes I got some footages of them but I didn't put it in the video because the blown exhaust sound is exactly the same of the red bulls. Renault sounds a bit louder.

[sente27]

great sound. its so sad that they gonna ban it next season

[SrSRB]

This is Monza,love it!

[babune]

Jizz in my pants, literally..



[AccordGTR]

Sure its nice to see the cars, the drivers and hear the exhaust, but what's more important to me is the race itself and the excitement of the competition among the drivers and teams.

[pedroivobritto]

i'm kinda addicted to this sound. it's strange, but really cool. sometimes i wake in the morning with the urge to listen to theses blown exhausts

[KyleReidzilla]

That sound is ghastly



[Palenka]

I like the sound a lot, it reminds me of a jake brake on a big truck. At first before reading some comments that is what I thought it was, an F1 engine brake to allow less brake fade. And maybe something else?

[MrAdamevan]

wow on tv the blown exhausts dont sound to bad but in real life its awful no wonder there banning it for next year

[lcf34]

Another proof that theory pretending motorsports are planning for future fuel savings technologies is just bullshit. What can you expect with keeping throttle open all the time?

[LeMansProject]

Wow O.e

[4Freddz]

As someone who doesnt know much about f1 it sounds really bad lol when they are breaking, as if the car is going to break or is already broken or something ^^

[Calum643]

when i heard one for the first time in real life it was a HRT going down the pitlane at the 2011 British gp and it sounded like God was going down the pit lane!

[Phlincke]

Sounds like thunder

[OXHB599]

For U.S. fans.........I can't wait to hear that sound in real life again.....I miss Indianapolis. Thumbs up if you are already trying to figure out if you will be going to Jersey or Austin in 2013.

[mimz881]

is this hungary because i was there this year no offence but your camera microphone doesnt even capture the proper sound from the car i was in gold 4 btw

[19Bozzy92]

@mimz881 If this is not the proper sound of a F1 car, how sould they sound like?

[mimz881]

@19Bozzy92 no i meant from the ear and yes my mistake its monza i didnt watch the whole video before commenting

[19Bozzy92]

@mimz881 Oh yes the sound is a lot louder in the real life, and it's impossible to reproduce it with your speakers. you're right ;)

[len5465]

@19Bozzy92 they should sound like v12 or v10

[NOXXism]

@19Bozzy92 LIKE A FUCKING V10

[GunnyW14]

@mimz881 its rather obvious that this is the first chicane at monza (Italy) after the long pit straight

[ThePoole1994]

@mimz881 this is Monza isn't it?

[Y4MaTa]

@mimz881 it's clearly Monza

[mimz881]

@Y4MaTa yeah i know i got mixed up

[gr8whiterb26]

@mimz881

This is Monza dude, I think Bozzy's camera mic captures the sound perfectly. I love this video man, it's a shame they're banning the blown diffusers next year :(

[mimz881]

@gr8whiterb26 yes i know i meant monza

[jwilson2814]

@mimz881 if you think this is Hungary your an idiot? since when does Hungary have a 210mph straight into a chicane?

[wurzelsepp678]

@mimz881 it's Monza in Italy ;)

[TranceFur]

@ssj5devilhunter666 An unmodified Honda F1 car went 257 mph in 2005. It had a non-turbocharged v10 engine and no KERS. The F1 cars of today could likely do about the same speed, factoring in the added power of KERS to the smaller v8 engine.

[9xSIC]

I understand what the blown exhausts do and how they are setup, but what creates this noise?

[enilyksnor]

@9xSIC throttle blips and backfires

[Necrocyklo]

@9xSIC the exploding mixture of gassoline and air. The engine is fireing up some of the cylinders even when driver is not standing on noise pedal. I can imagine that it is not a clean burning with some backfire

[cortkatanakx1q]

Crap. Stupid farting sound. :/

[diwant]

fark this is a very good f1 sound video!!!!
