Very Nice. Thanks for sharing!

[Woberer]

are these cars louder than f1 cars?

@Woberer

By far!

You don't just "hear" these machines - whereas one should really wear ear protection - you feel that mighty grunt, this enormous bass which these engines produce - and you obviously cannot capture on tape really - in your groins.

When they put the hammer down the mighty Hockenheim concrete grandstands start to shake like being hit by a little earthquake.

@DaSchraadz thanks, unbelievable that there are still people without ear protection, as it seems

@Woberer

some of the spectators really don't wear any ear protection and just put their fingers in the ears during burnout and start. But most of them either have their ears stuffed with ear plugs which I think are also handed out for free there or they do wear ear mufflers.

But just to give you one more comparison:

This one Top Fuel engine you see here is able to produce more horsepower than the first 4 rows at the Daytona 500 together...
