i'd be willing to bet that the V6 turbos are going to sound amazing. previous turbocharged F1 engines have had external wastegates and exhausts that are all of 12 inches long, and the rumors are that the new V6 turbos will be making power between 11,000 and 15,000 rpm. sounds good to me!
благодаря маркетинговому отделу Red Bull Дэвид Култхард смог протестировать машину Формулы 1 в американском Остине. За рулём машины 2005 года с мотором V10 Дэвид Култхард сначала проехал по бездорожью – маркетологам Red Bull показалась интересной эта идея, а потом крутил «пончики» на небольшом участке Congress Avenue.
Dang! Great video. I cannot wait to see racing in Austin for real. What my grandmother does in her 671 blown 55 Chevy on South Congress doesn't count.
@tango4449 the smoke was from the tires (rubber). The F1 engines actually burn their fuel very efficiently, leaving no visible smoke. The only time you ever see anywhere near that much smoke from an F1 engine is if the engine has just blown and is burning the remaining oil before it dies totally. And the donuts were spectacular to see!
@Lancer033 just to clariy....yes most cars get better mpg, but they also do much less work. If you factor in the amount of work done vs fuel burned, F1 engines are the most effecient. Le Man's prototypes are probably pretty close though.
I love the idea of F1 coming to Austin, and it's cool to be doing donuts in front of the capitol, but you're not going to win friends in Austin with promo videos including huge clouds of fuel smoke.
It's a pity we won't hear anything but V6 turbo sound in Austin. What horrible timing.

What a great spokesman for both Red Bull and F1. Never anything but smiles, even in our 100+ degree Heat.
